rumors, truths, hello

hello friends and fans

some of you may have noticed that i have not checked into myspace at all this year. it has been quite a few troubling months for me and frankly i just didn�t know what to say here, but now i can talk freely and participate in the community and so please accept this blog as my grand hello.

yes, the rumor is true. Gabriel & Dresden and parted ways for the time being. Over the past year, Josh and i have been moving apart as artists and we decided rather than milk it and be moderately happy together that we separate and examine ourselves as individual artists for a while. Our final date was the beatport pool party in miami on march 30th. For those who were there, i want to thank each and every one of you for showing Josh and I the love and support that you did. A lot of the set was songs that we have individually been working on interspersed with a few fan favorites. I will remember that hour and 15 minutes forever because i certainly felt the love with all the hands in the air and the well-wishes.

After WMC i went into the hospital to have shoulder surgery. I had a torn rotator cuff and after years of constant dislocations to my shoulder, i wanted to get that out of the way so that i can be 100% when i hit the road in mid-may as a solo artist.

I have also been very busy in the studio with my own music. I made a track with my good friend chris cox back in february called "Hole Wide" - it samples a relatively obscure song from the 80�s band tears for fears "advice for the young at heart" and it�s the kind of feel-good house i have always wanted to make but never did. Some of you may have caught it on pete tong�s essential selection show yesterday. if you didn�t check out the bbc.co.uk/radio1 site and have a listen to the show. he played it right before the essential new tune.

it will take a few more weeks for me to recover fully from my operation and then i will announce my tour plans.

and for the 1000�s of people who have reuested to be my friend, please be patient, i will add all of you.

godspeed,
dave

p.s. i�d also like to thank all of those who voted for gabriel & dresden "best american dj" for the 2nd year running. it was an excellent way for us to go out: a bang!

Thank god.

They were responsible for that beautiful melodic sound from 2002-2003, but they had a slow and steady decline. I guess it happens with a lot of big time acts, but hubris got the better of them. When you stop seeing yourself as a contributor to the scene, and start seeing your self as the scene, you loose your grip on reality. Playing your own tracks is great, when they are good and unique, but don't quit playing other people's work.

You just can't beat the Gallery. Over the last little while I realized how much I hate the Big Room sound not only Guv but Circa and the Docks just doesn't appeal to me I prefer a intimate venue something were you can really interact with Dj.

eek...a little bit of hate in here.

They may not be the "best" producers out there, but there was consistent quality in what they released as remixes.

LOL I still love it when I see Dave Dresden's name on TranceAddict.

It just reminds me of all the past TA Dresden drama. HAHAHA
