About Gabriel & Dresden:
For over 14 years Gabriel & Dresden have ignored trends and instead chased meaning in their productions. The quintessential definition of what they’ve dubbed “Emotional Dance Music,” their candid and unreserved approach has spawned an expansive discography of timeless classics for their fans to revel in, including “Tracking Treasure Down,” “As The Rush Comes” (#11 UK Top 40), “Beautiful Things” and “Dangerous Power,” as well as newer hits such as “Tomorrow Comes” and “Rise Up” from their Organized Nature label. Everybody from Britney Spears and Madonna to The Killers, Annie Lennox, Sarah McLachlan, Tiësto, Armin van Buuren and Above & Beyond have sought them out for official remixes, while the likes of Entourage, Nip/Tuck and Rockstar Games have licensed their music to enhance their visual narratives. Their incredible contributions to music as a whole has both inspired and created fans out of many of today’s biggest DJs and producers, and carved them a place in electronic dance music history.
