Josh Gabriel

Josh Gabriel is the production mastermind behind award-winning electronic music acts Gabriel & Dresden, Motorcycle, and Andain. His remixes for artists ranging from Tiësto to The Killers have moved thousands of hearts and feet, while tracks like ‘As The Rush Comes’ and ‘Tracking Treasure Down’ have earned Gabriel a permanent place in the world of dance music.

Since the disbanding of Gabriel & Dresden in 2008, Josh Gabriel has not slowed down one bit. If anything, he’s picked up the pace. In those two years, he’s released a critically acclaimed solo album (‘Eight’), founded another electronica act (Winter Kills), and delivered floor-filling remixes for the likes of BT, Dash Berlin, and Matt Darey.

Over a year in the making, Winter Kills’ debut album has been a true labor of love for Gabriel. Featuring the stunning vocals of Meredith Call, the twelve tracks that comprise their record run the gamut from 80s inflected rock to ethereal trance, with stopovers in ambient pop and techno-inflected house. The singles ‘My Friend’ and ‘Hot As Hades’ are still shimmering in the minds of fans and DJs, with its clever videos and early radio support from none other than Armin Van Buuren himself. Needless to say, its release is the talk of the EDM community. . 2 years after the first single, the official Winter Kills album is a fact. Josh and Meredith take their listeners on a musical trip to 13 unique audio reflections of creativity, innovation and untouched love for music.

Not content to simply produce and perform, Josh Gabriel’s new label, Different Pieces, is swiftly becoming one of dance music’s most talked about imprints. Guided by Gabriel’s time-tested ability to discover intelligent emotional music, Different Pieces’ output since 2008 has included Gabriel’s collaborations with Dave Seaman, as well as tracks from tech visionary Francis Preve, producer/vocalist Khaz, and dubstep upstarts The Secret Panda Society. With a pipeline filled with future classics, Different Pieces is poised to bring Josh Gabriel’s vision of the EDM universe to a whole new audience in the coming millennium.

Any one of these lofty goals would be enough to consume every waking hour of even the most prolific artist, but Josh Gabriel shows no sign of stopping. In 2010, Gabriel’s much-loved side project, Andain – with California singer/collaborator, Mavie Marcos – returned after a six-year hiatus. Having won over the music world with their 2003 hit, ‘Beautiful Things’, Andain is bringing their sound to an entirely new wave of club go-ers with their much anticipated single, ‘Promises’. In 2011, a full-length album will follow with more singles to come.

Expanding on a career that touches upon every aspect of the electronic dance music world – from his innovations as the founder of seminal music technology company, Mixman, to his current role as a visionary producer and DJ – the Josh Gabriel saga has only just begun.
