[1] They won the coveted Winter Music Conference IDMA award for "Best American DJ" twice, in 2007 and 2008, the latter time on the same day that the group split up.

The pair reunited in early 2011 and proceeded on a reunion tour, which began at Ruby Skye in San Francisco on March 4, 2011.

With an Apple Macintosh Plus, and the earliest of music applications like Mark of the Unicorn's "Composer" and "Performer", Josh was already on the bleeding edge.

In the Netherlands, Gabriel's inventor spirit took shape as he wrote a computer application to control samples on an Akai S900 in real-time with a joystick.

Along with electronics whiz Jan Panis, (Karlheinz Stockhausen's tech-man)[5] Gabriel built an apparatus which converted beams of light coming up off the floor into a MIDI control device and the 20-year-old Gabriel dressed in black, wearing white gloves performed his real-time beat-trigger device in the clubs of Amsterdam.

[9] Dave and Josh officially joined forces later in 2001 and quickly made a name for themselves by creating numerous remixes for artists as diverse as Tiësto, Paul Oakenfold, Sarah McLachlan, Way Out West, Annie Lennox, Duncan Sheik, and Jewel.

[10] In 2004 they released their first mix CD, Bloom, after having their seventh #1 Billboard Dance Chart Hit with the Madonna & Britney Spears collaboration "Me Against the Music".

They worked on their own group Motorcycle with JES, resulting in their signature song "As the Rush Comes", which reached #11 on the UK singles charts.

Josh and Dave spent most of 2005 in the studio recording their eponymous debut album, Gabriel & Dresden, featuring vocals from Molly Bancroft and Jan Burton.

The album was released in June 2006 and had two hits, "Tracking Treasure Down" and "Dangerous Power", which both topped the Billboard Hot Dance Club Songs charts.

[17] The new production duo went on to remix a number of artists including Nadia Ali's "Love Story" and Enrique Iglesias's "Tonight (I'm Fuckin' You)", all of which hit the #1 position in the Billboard Hot Club Play Dance Chart.

A full-length album by the duo featuring guest vocalists Nadia Ali, Jan Burton and Skylar Grey was planned but has yet to be released.

Josh spent his time off from Gabriel & Dresden starting a label called Different Pieces (via Armada Music) and working on three different album projects.

He also produced the debut album for Andain, You Once Told Me which finally saw a release in 2012 and spawned a sizable hit with the song "Promises", which Gabriel & Dresden remixed in 2011.

On December 31, 2010, Gabriel & Dresden reunited for special one off New Year's Eve celebration alongside ATB and Francis Preve at the Hollywood Palladium in Los Angeles.

[21] Shortly afterward, the duo were booked on the Anjunabeats WMC Miami party at the Ice Palace as a special guest.

[23] On February 3, 2014, they restarted their monthly radio show "Gabriel & Dresden present Organized Nature" on Digitally Imported's progressive channel.

[24] On March 29, 2014, they released "Rise Up" which was supported by a wide variety of DJs including Above & Beyond,[25] Eric Prydz, Armin Van Buuren,[26] Markus Schulz[27] and Jason Bentley.
