Journalist, Producer and DJ extraordinaire, in 2001, everything changed when Dave Dresden partnered with Josh Gabriel to form the internationally successful DJ/production duo, Gabriel & Dresden. Gaining recognition through their numerous remixes like Tiesto's "In My Memory" and Above and Beyond's "No One On Earth". Dresden's contribution to the duo led to 18 #1 positioned singles and remixes on Billboard's Club Play Chart, 3 full compilation albums and their self titled debut named "2006 Album of the Year" by M8 magazine.

After the annual Winter Music Conference International Dance Music Awards in March 2008, Gabriel & Dresden decided to part ways (after picking up the award for best American DJ). However Dresden's solo career continues to accelerate with the same drive. His various successes have allowed him to remix artists such as The Killers, Annie Lennox, Madonna, Paul Oakenfold, and many more.
