“Bloom” Press Release

Due out September 7 on Nettwerk America, BLOOM is a double-disc mix album from GABRIEL & DRESDEN (G&D) that intends to stand the test of time. For it, the remix/production team of Josh Gabriel and Dave Dresden chose a handful of tracks by other artists they felt passionate about (Sarah McLachlan, Junkie XL, Dido, Lily Hayden), as well as select gems from their own catalog (“Lament,” “Dub Horizon,” “Alive” [Gabriel only]). Then, using those cuts as pivotal points, they round the program out with new original compositions, encompassing all aspects of production in electronic music which makes Bloom much more than a traditional mix.

More than half of the songs on the album were produced by GABRIEL & DRESDEN or by Josh Gabriel. The majority of works are exclusive to Bloom including G&D’s remix of Dido’s “Don’t Leave Home” (Gabriel & Dresden Mix); original G&D tracks “Arcadia,” “Serendipity” and “Athena”; Josh Gabriel originals “Switch” and “Alive” (Bloom’s radio single); and cuts by Andian, Motorcycle and Big Top (Gabriel & Dresden with the Bassbin Twin’s Pete Houser).

Complete track listing is as follows:

With nearly a dozen #1 Billboard Dance chart hits in 2003 as well as one international pop hit with “As The Rush Comes” by Motorcycle (their collaborative project with vocalist Jes) to their credit, Josh Gabriel and Dave Dresden boast one of the most impressive resumes in contemporary dance music. Britney Spears, Sarah McLachlan, New Order, Annie Lennox, Jewel, Duncan Sheik, Depeche Mode, Evanescence and Dido are just part of a shortlist of major artists that have received the GABRIEL & DRESDEN remix/production treatment. Bloom is the pair’s debut long-player and the first of a two-compilation deal with Nettwerk America.

To support Bloom, GABRIEL & DRESDEN will embark on a DJ tour of America with stops in New York, Boston, Detroit, San Diego, Miami and more. Confirmed dates to date are:
