Welcome to the 31th chapter of our mix-series “Enter The Arena”!
This time we welcome electronic dance legends Gabriel & Dresden as guest! Responsible for classics like “As the Rush Comes” with heir smash hit in spin-off project Motorcycle, “Tracking Treasure Down” (with vocalist Molly Bancroft) and “Dangerous Power” (featuring Jan Burton), the duo, are on the to the top of the electronic music genre for years.
As a duo, the two fit like some kind of creative yin and yang, quickly rising to the top of the electronic music genre and winning the coveted “Best American DJ” prize twice by the International Dance Music Awards (IDMAs) as well as creating a dominating string of timeless hit songs and remixes in the studio.
Conjuring an artful amalgam of trance, techno, house and pop that transformed the landscape of 21st century EDM; Josh Gabriel, with his formal training in music composition from California Institute for the Arts and the Netherlands’ Institute of Sonology, and Dave Dresden, with an esteemed club DJ career that included work as a Billboard club chart reporter, music director for a prominent online radio station, and a curator for the legendary Pete Tong’s Essential Selection, struck a genuine synergy that captivated listeners around the world.
Everybody from Britney Spears and Madonna to Annie Lennox, Sarah McLachlan, Tiësto and Above & Beyond sought them out for official remixes, while the likes of FX and Rockstar Games licensed their music to enhance their visual narratives.
Expect a wonderful journey through “melodic techno”, this is how Josh & Dave describe their style today. A great contrast through the flood of common big room sounds…
But as always the 1st hour has been mixed by one of our residents… this time by our very own Julio Cesar.
Enjoy the music and don’t forget… Trance is the only weapon! 😉
