Gabriel & Dresden - Rise up (short teaser)

New Ground’ is Gabriel & Dresden’s stunning follow up to ‘Rise Up,’ and, like its predecessor combines the rawness of a 6 oscillator Moog modular synthesizer with beautiful, emotional chords.

Whether it’s heard in a dark, sweaty underground club, or on the main stage at one of the world’s leading festivals, ‘New Ground’ is the track that brings progressive house back to the forefront of the genre. Make no mistake, Gabriel & Dresden are standing on the front line leading that charge.

What the DJs say about ‘New Ground’ –

Above & Beyond: "Tune! Will play in Group Therapy"

Andrew Bayer (Anjunabeats): "It's f**king amazing, I love it!"

Lucky Date: "This is awesome"

Dash Berlin: I will always be a @GabrielNDresden fan, just heard their new stuff and it is quality.

Eric Prydz: I loved that new track you guys sent! Right up my alley.

Seven Lions: God damn, this is awesome. SO clean! Is this the new style you were talking about at Paradiso Festival? It’s seriously awesome!

Gabriel & Dresden - New Ground (Radio Edit)

Motorcycle was a collaboration between Gabriel & Dresden and vocalist Jes Brieden

Motorcycle - As The Rush Comes [Sweeping Strings 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

In 2004, We released a mix compilation on Nettwerk Records called "Bloom" - it was a 2 disc affair which included some of our favorite songs we were playing in our sets along with our newest tracks and remixes. 

Once we had most of the songs compiled, we felt like the compilation was missing something. Something that "took you there" but also with a bit of soul and real instruments. 

So one day, on a lark, Josh decided to pick up his Fender Jazz bass and start playing some stuff. Dave immediately loved what Josh was playing and implored him to record what he was doing so it would not be lost in the ether of "great ideas never recorded."

What happened next was pretty incredible. We started building this song layer by layer. By the end of that day, we pretty much had it finished. A couple days of tweaks and it was done. 

We were so over the moon that we had made a song in such a short period of time that we didn't know what to call it. Enter Dave's realtor, Carol Robbiano, who was showing him a house on Arcadia Avenue in Oakland, CA. While driving to see the house, Dave played her the song. She suggested we name it "Arcadia" if Dave ended up liking the property. 

in 2005, we decided to start our own label called "Organized Nature" and we knew immediately that "Arcadia" would be our first release. For the single we updated a couple of things, re-mixed it to sound bigger and fatter and added a swing-y house beat. So the version of "Arcadia" on the "Bloom" compilation is technically a demo.





Gabriel & Dresden - Arcadia (Original 12" mix - edited)

This favorite from the Gabriel & Dresden album voiced by "Dangerous Power"'s vocalist Jan Burton was about to be released as ORGN 12 with a full remix package, but alas we broke everyone's hearts and went on hiatus and thus the tracks sat alone in a folder on our hard drives. Until now.

The extended mix of this song has never been released and so for that we are letting you download it for free. 

As a side note, The Dave Aude remix of New Path did end up being used on our "Mixed For Feet" Compilation which is available on iTunes, Beatport, Spotify, etc.

Gabriel & Dresden Feat Jan Burton - New Path (Extended Mix)

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!

many people believe that this was the Satoshi Tomiie Remix of "Lament" but in actuality, it was us, making a version that we knew Satoshi would really be into. 

And it worked. :)

Gabriel & Dresden vs. Francis Prève
"Servo vs. Colossus"

After a year of sold-out reunion shows crisscrossing the world from Hollywood to Mumbai, legendary EDM duo Gabriel & Dresden kick off 2012 with "Servo vs. Colossus" - a collaboration with synth guru, Francis Prève.

"Servo vs. Colossus" is a knockout tour-de-force that fuses electro with techno, crossing so many stylistic boundaries as only this trio can. Originating as a mashup of two of Prève's original tracks, "Servo" and "Colossus", Josh & Dave have placed their unmistakable thumbprint on the finished product, resulting in a six-minute opus that has served as a centerpiece of G&Ds sets since last summer.

First appearing as an edited version on Gabriel & Dresden's now classic 2011 mix CD, "Mixed For Feet Volume 1" (Armada), "Servo vs. Colossus" garnered instant acclaim from both G&D and Prève fans alike last fall. Considering the amount of buzz that surrounded the collaboration, the trio has opted to release the full length and completely re-mixed version of "Servo vs. Colossus" on Prève's shiny new imprint, Academik, to launch the label's 2012 release schedule with a bang.

Starting out hard with Gabriel & Dresden's signature toms-plus-trance drum sound, "Servo vs. Colossus" grabs the floor and refuses to let go, even as Prève's assault of analog hooks skyrocket the groove to dizzying heights. Then, after a few wholly unexpected twists and turns in the journey, G&D deliver not one, but two brilliant breakdowns keeping the energy at peak intensity throughout the trip.

Coming from a group of artists who have collectively made their mark in the club world, with Gabriel & Dresden's decade-long string of hits like "As The Rush Comes" and "Tracking Treasure Down", as well as Prève's recent classics, "Yin" and "Yang" (with Wolfgang Gartner), "Servo vs. Colossus" is poised to pack floors from its January release on Beatport all the way through WMC and SXSW. 

"This track oozes class borne of years smashing dancefloors across the word. Dance music used to be about innovation and creativity, about surprising us with sounds so imaginative we didn’t even know they existed. This a return to that tradition, a prickly, annoyingly catchy journey that unwinds with deliberate ease. Dance music that makes you dance." - Dancing Astronaut

Beatport Release Date: January 30, 2012

Gabriel & Dresden vs Francis Prève - Servo vs Colossus [PRE-RELEASE TEASER]

After 4 years of studio silence, Gabriel & Dresden are proud to bring you ‘No Reservations’, a raw piece of melodic bass power co produced with Washington, DC dubstep duo Secret Panda Society.

Though you’ll rarely find a more celebrated duo in EDM history, Gabriel & Dresden are determined to not rest on their hits.

Nearly a decade after the global classic ‘As The Rush Comes’ and 6 years after the release of their debut album and "Tracking Treasure Down", Gabriel & Dresden once again show with "No Reservations" their penchant for getting a melody in your head while at the same time fusing several genres together to deliver something you can't quite describe to your friends without having the audio evidence.

Not only do we get the excellent original but in a few weeks there will also be remixes coming Khomha (trance), Kevin Focus (progressive trance) and D-Wayne (electro house) to further help cement that arpeggio hook and buzzy bass synth into your cranium.
like that old rave choon says, "watch ya bassbins...i'm tellin' ya!"

Gabriel & Dresden vs Secret Panda Society - No Reservations- Radio Edit

Gabriel & Dresden feat Betsie Larkin - Play it Back (G&D Sunrise mix) - official teaser

While Gabriel & Dresden's recent vocal trance release "Play it Back" gains momentum on the radio and YouTube, the boys are unleashing the instrumental monster "Shatter" to do the damage until their next vocal song drops in a month.

For this release, Josh & Dave invited fast rising 18 year old Dutch DJ/producer D-wayne to their studio and in just several sessions made this tune that has been a showstopper in their sets since it's debut play at Escape From Wonderland in LA last October. D-wayne, while still being a teenager, is no stranger to success, with a bevy of releases on labels such as Dim Mak, Wall, Spinnin' and Protocol. He's also an accomplished remixer twisting the knobs for artists such as Enrique Iglesias, Jennifer Lopez, R3hab as well as G&D and Secret Panda Sociey's "No Reservations"

The result of this collaboration is a fresh, electro-driven track that blurs the lines between electro house, trance and progressive with the greatest of ease. The riff will stay in your head for days and the buildups are guaranteed to cause mayhem on literally any dancefloor. What more could you ask for?
