Gabriel & Dresden
Encyclopedia
Gabriel & Dresden is the project name of the DJs and producers Josh Gabriel
and Dave Dresden
from San Francisco. Their popularity and activities were centered in the United States. They won the WMC
award as Best American DJ twice in 2007 and 2008, the same day the group split-up. The pair reunited in early 2011 and proceeded on a reunion tour, which began in San Francisco, CA on March 4, 2011.
's musical ability was developed during 15 years inside a deejay booth, while Josh Gabriel
has an undergraduate college degree in music composition from the California Institute for the Arts. Dave's love for music was influenced by a local nightclub located in Banksville, NY then called Krypton's. DJ Ralphie, the club's longtime resident DJ (1980-1994) played an electic mixture of new wave, and early industrial music that drew crowds to this backroad rural popular night spot. The club was located only minuets away from Dave's childhood home in North Stamford, CT, where he grew up only a few houses away from pop icon Cyndi Lauper. One night while dancing at Krypton's to Anne Clark's Wallies, Dave had a revelation that would change his life forever.
Dave's first gig was at another legendary nightclub located in New Rochelle, NY named Marty & Lenny's where the owners of the then predominantly freestyle music venue promoted a new music night. This became a trend in the outlying suburbs of NYC in the late 1980's with the resurgence of groups such as Erasure, Depeche Mode and New Order bursting back onto the scene. The night was promoted by Long Island's 92.7 WDRE, and Dave's eponymous DJ name "Dave the wave" started to earn him recognition amongst fans of new wave, and progressive dance music. From there, he landed a long standing residency at BAR in New Haven, CT which lasted for over ten years. Dave established a progressive music night on Wednesday's in downtown New Haven, and attracted crowds from as far south as Westchester County cites longtime friend DJ Lenny Venice. The night was built on sheer word of mouth with virtually no promotion done by the owners. Dave spent countless, tireless hours visiting record labels to get his hands on the latest tracks, and eventually landed a spot as a billboard reporter, a highly touted, and difficult title to earn amongst DJ's in the United States with only 95 Billboard reporters at the time nationwide. Dave utilized every resource that was available to him, and often listened to Dave Kendall's Planet Traxx every Sunday night on New York's Hot 97 WQHT to keep up with the progressive house scene. Dave always had an incredible ear for music, and could spot a number one hit after hearing a track only once or twice says longtime friend Lenny Venice.

. He founded the music creation tool Mixman in the 1990s which was one of the first programs to make music using loops of digital audio.
