I also sense a shortage of cocaine in the city's future.

I guess I don't know this story. Has he been known to do cocaine? Well, anyways, he is the better of the two isn't he?

lol

To elaborate on this...

Josh Gabriel wrote a computer application to control samples on an Akai S900 in real-time with a joystick, which later became Mixman, a company he founded. Before he became famous, he was the mastering engineering for Disney's Aladdin, sound designer for Oddworld video games, and training engineer for Sonic Solutions editing systems at Warner Brother's Films, Sony Music, and Disney Studios.

Dave Dresden worked in A&R and was the music director for GrooveRadio.

You do the math.

Wow, I didn't know anything other than mixman.

Yeah whoa, Josh was a hoss.

LOL... Ya Dave is just the goofy side-kick. That and Josh's solo productions are better IMHO... Alive is still one of my favorite tracks!

All of that is cool, still doesn't make you a great DJ. Both of them together or solo are pretty ordinary to me. I'll probably still go for the good times though and maybe do some lines off of the mixer with Dave.

Their first mix in 2003 for Essential Mix was pretty sweet. As their popularity grew, I found I liked their productions less. I still jam out to their older works though.

Josh Gabriel's last visit to Swerve was fun, though I was expecting more of G&D's classic trance productions and remixes. Then again, this was the first time I had seen Gabriel live, and I've never seen Dresden.

When it comes to Gabriel and Dresden, I've heard that the whole is much greater than the sum of its parts. Any truth to this? Moreover, I've been told that Dresden's currently spinning mostly techno, house, and electro -- rather than trance. This is slightly disappointing to me, if it's true. I might attend this event regardless -- maybe just so I can claim I've seen both Gabriel and Dresden. :P

I have to agree with Scott here. Their older stuff was choice stuff and they have declined a bit since then. Mid 2003 to Early 2006 was the highlight of G&D for me. IMHO, Josh is the better DJ and producer. He spins more progressive trance, trance, etc. and when I hear most of the Hits by G&D I can hear more of Josh's influence in there then Dave's! I have not heard much from Dave (Solo) in recent history but he was more of the breaks and Techno side when solo. It would be worth checking out for sure.

The beggining of their 2005 em was great, not to mention they have a couple of great remixes. I guess they arent thta bad after all



But they suck hard now.

Mario - Eat a dick.

Scott = Ultimate fanboi of their remix of "On a High" by Duncan Shiek

The split due to "creative differences" with Dave wanting to continue the typical "anthem" type remixes they were known for and Josh wanting to do more solo tech-ish productions. They both had their strengths and weaknesses but I can surely attest to some of the best times I've ever had with EDM was at their shows (yes, I know, I was the ultimate fanboi...re: interview with Mixmag and 3 shows with them in 6 days...). But alas...haven't caught either of them solo yet but Josh can definitely throw down some sick shit at an afterparty

By the way....hi everyone

Oh, and starting next week, I have a new job in Atlanta. w00t

That remix pwns, the dub I mean.

Lament (Dub 4 Satoshi)
Beautiful Things (Gabriel & Dresden Unplugged Mix)
On A High (Love From Humboldt Vocal)
No One On Earth (Gabriel & Dresden)
Till There Was You (Gabriel & Dresden Mix)



thats about the only good stuff from them imo

All of those are bombs though, the satoshi track sounds more satoshi than them but its still good.

I remember jamming out to No One On Earth so man f'n times.

That tune was absolutely insane when it got released. Hearing the bassline in a club for the first time was better than sex

This! This is what I had hoped would happen at Swerve's recent Gabriel show.

Instead, he dropped a strange remix of Tracking Treasure Down. Still fun, though.

Where is the cheapest place to park near Swerve? Is it the parking garage next to it? And if so, it's 10 dollars right?

Park inside Publix.

DO IT

Yeah that's right. DO IT!
