message from Dave Dresden

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

See the topic? Stay on it.

This confirms what that guy was saying last month about Dave. No surprise there really. Seems like a rather legit 'breakup' whatever though.

I am a little worried for this, not much you can use in this song to sample that's worth, dont' get me wrong, Tears owns but this isn't one of their best.

It's a thread about Dave Dresden on TA. It's almost required to put it on there.

Oh, and referring to Dave in a thread about him is most certainly on-topic.

No, it's not. It's useless. The original poster copied and pasted Dave's message, that's the subject matter. I fail to see how adding [Dave Dresden related] adds anything, in fact it's redundant when the subject already says "message from Dave Dresden."

I'd like to remind you that this is, in fact, TA. Remarks like his are expected and welcomed by most, especially given the "history" Dave has here. Get over it.

I know the history on here, and I'm not going to restate my view on that, if you want to continue this, then pm me.. Now let's move on.

I don't think Dave meant Tears for Fears are obscure, but rather the song itself. I've always liked it, but it was never as big as "Shout" or "Sowing the Seeds of Love".

It was on their Tears Roll Down Greatest Hits album. Not obscure.
