Gabriel & Dresden

About

For over two decades, Gabriel & Dresden have sculpted sonic cathedrals, their progressive house and trance anthems reverberating across dancefloors worldwide. Not content with simply providing beats, the duo—Josh Gabriel and Dave Dresden—weave intricate melodies and emotionally resonant vocals into their productions, creating experiences that are both euphoric and deeply personal. Rooted in the late 90s rave scene and influenced by artists like Sasha & John Digweed, their sound evolved to encompass elements of breakbeat, techno, and even indie electronica. Their breakthrough came in the early 2000s with tracks like "As the Rush Comes" (as Motorcycle with Jes Brieden) and their remixes for artists like Above & Beyond and Markus Schulz, solidifying their position as titans of the trance scene. Beyond chart success, Gabriel & Dresden are known for their innovative live performances, seamlessly blending DJing with live instrumentation and vocal performances. Their PledgeMusic campaign for the album *Only After* marked a new era of fan engagement. Their cultural impact extends beyond the dancefloor; they've championed vocal trance, influencing a generation of DJs and producers. Continually evolving, they explore new sonic territories while staying true to the core elements that define their sound: melody, emotion, and innovation. Recent works continue to showcase their dedication to pushing the boundaries of electronic music.
