| Dave Dresden reveals new partnership Posted: 04 Feb 2009 01:36 PM CST Today Beatportal spoke to Dave Dresden who revealed that since the split of Gabriel & Dresden last April, he's been "going at a gingerly pace and has been in no rush to release music". Dresden was speaking from the studio of Mikael Johnston in Oakland, California, as he recently formed a new studio partnership with the Mephisto Odyssey man. While Josh Gabriel has released a string of big room tracks on his own new label Tone Program, and dropped a solo album ('Eight') since the break up, Dresden has remained very quiet, but with a new remix for Lily Allen due out next Tuesday from Dresden & Johnston all that is set to change. |
