Thanks for the information. I think I've heard a few of the tracks from their CD already.

I'll be there! Can't wait to hear these guys live.

Does anyone have any photos/vids from this evening?

Without a doubt, Gabriel & Dresden's set was a lot better than their set for James Holden in Feb. Their set seemed to be more prepared this time than before...starting out with the airy, melodic tracks with the deep baselines and, eventually, intigrating harder trance tracks with the rolling synths and staccato baselines. Quite a few songs were from their latest CD; like, Dido - Don't Leave Home and Arcadia. The only thing I was disappointed with was the fact that niether of them used the DVJs or Technics; they primarily used the mixer, and a laptop Mp3/Ogg-file program I've haven't seen before. Needless to say, watching them work was a little boring.

It's a Laptop using Ableton live. Josh has used it forever.

Anyhow, if you didn't know, They are playing as a true duo right now. Not like Dave plays an hour, Josh plays an hour type of stuff. They are behind the decks together mixing together. More of a live act, if you may say.

And yes, G&D today compared to even six months ago is a WORLD of difference. They've matured as a duo bigtime.

Is it easy to find this Ableton program?

Yeah, it's a fairly easy to find program. If you want to try out a demo version of it before investing money in the full program, BT's technology EP comes with a demo version to remix a few of his songs.

Thank God. A litterally fell asleep during their Feb. set.
