live basses and melancholic chords, oh my!

Andain - Beautiful Things (Gabriel & Dresden Unplugged Radio Edit)

The seeds of Zocalo were planted in early 2003 when Dave handed a demo of "As The Rush Comes" to Armin when he was playing at the Mayan in downtown LA. The next day Armin called Dave to tell him how much he loved the song and that he wanted to sign it to the label he was starting called Armada Music, thus becoming one Armada's first releases.

At that point, Armin wanted to get into the studio with us and create an original song together. In the fall of 2003 we went to Armin's house in Leiden, NL to create something. We spent a week in his studio and made a demo titled "16 Days Ago"  that we liked but didn't love. And thus, it never was finished.

Two years later, Armin got a copy of our song "Arcadia" and once again, this opened the conversation for us to collaborate. After the Winter Music Conference that year, we all headed to San Leandro, California to create something together in the studio and this is exactly what was made that first week of April, 2005.

While we were making the song, Armin and Dave decided to walk down the street to the local Zocalo Coffeehouse to get an afternoon pick-me-up. Armin loved their coffee so much that he decided that "Zocalo" should be the name of the song. We both agreed and the rest is dance music history.






Armin van Buuren feat Gabriel & Dresden - Zocalo

When you think of Gabriel & Dresden classics, "Dangerous Power" is nearly always close to the top of many fans' lists. 

Featuring a powerful vocal from Syntax's Jan Burton (whom we learned about through mixing the Nip/Tuck soundtrack), Dangerous Power has nearly every element that we believe makes a perfect dance track. A great vocal, meaningful lyrics, a smart arrangement and sounds that are unique and unusual. 

Hope you feel the same way too!

Gift #3 goes way, way (throw) back to the summer of 2003.

the song "Imagination" which was released on Jes' solo debut album Disconnect in 2007 started out its life as a motorcycle song years earlier

"Imagination" was supposed to be the follow-up single to As The Rush Comes, but our label didn't hear it so we shelved it. And then Motorcycle took a permanent hiatus.

this version is real simple. Just Jes behind a microphone with an acoustic guitar. We added a little bit of effects to the overall track afterward and also the record pops.

it was featured as the last song on our 2004 "Bloom" mix compilation.
