Though their rise to the top of their field may have seemed rapid, in reality **Gabriel & Dresden** are both longtime dance music veterans. Dresden began his career as one of the best-loved DJs in Connecticut, as well as a successful music journalist, before relocating to LA in 2000 to serve as the music director for GrooveRadio and branching out as an A&R scout for clients including U.K. tastemaker Pete Tong. A California native, producer Josh Gabriel was already revered as the inventor of the popular software Mixman when he met Dresden at a rooftop party during WMC in Miami in 2001. The two struck up a conversation and quickly decided to work together. Thus began a series of increasingly high profile remixes and original tracks born from a creative dynamic that intermingles the talents of two very distinct personalities. Gabriel & Dresden boast one of the most impressive résumés in contemporary dance music, with over half a dozen #1 Billboard Dance chart hits to their credit. For their debut album, the team could have simply assembled a Greatest Hits set. But, as anyone who has scrutinized their music closely recognizes, the reason Gabriel & Dresden have attained this pinnacle of success – in a genre that is too often defined by clichés – is because they never follow the easy, predictable route.
