Gabriel & Dresden met at the Winter Music Conference in 2001, when Josh Gabriel was giving out white label copies of his first track "Wave 3" and Dave Dresden was scouting new music for Pete Tong. Dresden loved the track, and two weeks later it got played on Tong's BBC Radio 1 show, and later appeared on his compilation, "Pete Tong's Twisted Beats." Tong soon offered Dresden the opportunity to remix New Order's track, "Someone Like You" and Gabriel was tapped to work on the remix. The two have not stopped making music together since.



Josh Gabriel and Dave Dresden each started out on their individual musical paths in the early 80s, at the peak of the New Wave scene, influenced by bands like Depeche Mode, The Cure and Yaz. Gabriel played percussion in elementary and high school orchestras and bands, bought his first Moog synthesizer in 1981 and has been making music with computers since 1985. He later obtained a BFA degree in composition from California Institute of the Arts University and studied the science of sound at the prestigious Royal Music Conservatory/Institute of Sonology in Den Hague, The Netherlands.



After receiving his degree, he worked in various post-production studios for clients such as Sony, Disney, Sega and Oddworld. Gabriel moved on to create Mixman(r) music software and acted as co-founder of the company Mixman Technologies Inc. for 8 years.



Dresden's impressive career started with DJing, which he has done for the past 20 years. He has also held high profile music industry positions such as feature writer and music reviewer and drove A&R for Promo Only. Dresden has compiled mix CDs and compilations for several record labels, scouted music for BBC's Pete Tong, and was a radio DJ and music director for both Internet and radio stations with a world-wide listening base.
