    Gabriel & Dresden Tracks Treasure Down With New Single

    January 10th, 2006

    Press Photograph of Gabriel & Dresden Gabriel & Dresden (G&D) are known to most as the upcoming duo that have been dominating the charts for years. It is fitting that they now have their own album release in April of 2006 with all original songs composed and produced for their new-born label, Organized Nature. With the success of their first single of the album, which is yet to be released on vinyl (April 2006), comes a new era in progressive dance music. This innovative duo are, without a doubt, the artists to keep an ear out for in the year 2006.

    For nearly the whole year of 2005, fans and avid progressive listeners have heard, or heard of, a new “G&D” album in the making. They didn’t just want to hear about the album, they wanted to sample it. Gabriel and Dresden satisfied their wants by allowing promo copies of the track, “Tracking Treasure Down,” to be played by the likes of Armin Van Buuren, Pete Tong, and Ferry Corsten.

    This track features a unique sound with double claps, thick bass, and the infectious vocals of Molly Bancroft. Although, the lyrics are considered by most to be of the cheddar variety, but the uniqueness of the song makes up for it. The known “tek” sound that is normally associated with the duo can still be found in their newer tracks, and this one is no exception. There’s the thick bass with “distorted” melodies that would clash in other genres, but once again, they have managed to link it all together.

    Molly’s vocals are not just perfect for the song, but without them, the song would be lacking the vibe and essence needed for the perfect floor filler. The duo also makes appearances within the song by adding backup vocals, which provides another experience all-together.

    Cover Art For Tracking Treasure DownThis track is not scheduled for a vinyl release until April 2006, but since December of 2005, it has been dominating dance charts like on the January 2006 issue of Mixmag, or making the top ten of Armin van Buuren’s ASOT Year End Episode, which is based on votes by fans. The April 2006 vinyl release will have three versions of the song, Original, Lo Tek, and Mixshow Edit. According to G&D, there will be remixes done by Robbie Riviera, Dave Seaman, and many others that will be released at a later time.

    The track is currently available as a download from Beatport.com, along with many other tracks from the duo and their label, Organized Nature. More information about the duo and their label can be found at their official site, GabrielAndDresden.com.
