In 2001, Josh and Dave joined forces under the now legendary Gabriel & Dresden moniker. Within their 6 years of collaboration, Gabriel & Dresden scored 19 number 1 Billboard Hot Dance/Club Play remixes and tracks, made three DJ-mixed compilation albums, an artist album and won seven International Dance Music Awards. Their tracks 'Arcadia', 'Dangerous Power', 'Let Go', 'Tracking Treasure Down' Andain "Beautiful Things" and numerous other masterpieces have turned into some of EDMβs biggest classics. 'As The Rush Comes', by their Motorcycle alias with Jes Brieden, they won the IDMA award for 'Best Progressive Trance Track' as well as peaking at #11 on the official UK top40 charts. The G&D treatment, through remixes and interpretations, was given to tracks by The Killers, Annie Lenox, Sarah McLachlan, Dido, TiΓ«sto, Paul Oakenfold and Way Out West, making their sound cross borders from trance and progressive with pop, indie and soul sensibilities.
In 2008 After 6+ years of hits and and awards, both guys felt it was time for something new and took a break from Gabriel & Dresden to focus on their individual careers. Inspiration came flowing with the new tide. After the split, Josh Gabriel set up his own label, 'Different Pieces' and focused on his Winter Kills and Andain projects. On his album 'Eight', Josh intertwined techno and house into pieces of pure electronic bliss. In the meantime, Dave Dresden took charge of the dancefloor with his Dresden & Johnston project and spawned a US radio hit in the song 'Keep Faith' and "That Day" (with Nadia Ali on lead vocals), as well as remixes for the likes of Owl City, Nadia Ali, BT and The Crystal Method. But you simply can't stop musical synergy.
As 2010 came to an end, Gabriel and Dresden decided to go back to their roots and reunite at the Hollywood Palladium in Los Angeles for New Yearβs Eve 2011. Their return behind the decks showed that after two and a half years apart, nothing really changed. Gabriel & Dresden's comeback marks one of the most notable moments in EDM this year, finally answering the call of millions of dance lovers. With gigs at some of the world's biggest festivals, clubs and events planned and a new compilation in the making, Gabriel & Dresden are all set to do what they love most: celebrate music. And we're all invited.

Gabriel & Dresden Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Living under water swimming with the fish
Under water island
Under water living
Under water drinking
Under water falling
Driving through the high way in the night
Driving under water in the night
Making all the waves come out tonight
Take a dive
Don't be shy
Come on in the water's fine
Neon lights
City lights
We just found what they couldn't find
Let me get fucked up before we fall in love
Let me catch a wave before we fall in love
We don't need a boat we can catch a tide
Look up at the sky in the dawnlight
Under water living is a wild time
Driving through bikini bottom all night
Meet me in the water
I'm living under water
Take a dive
Don't be shy
Come on in the water's fine
Neon lights
City lights
Underwater
I'm going under water baby come with me
Living under water swimming with the fish
Under water island
Under water living
Under water drinking
Under water falling
Driving through the high way in the night
Driving under water in the night
Driving through the rip tide tonight
Making all the waves come out tonight
Take a dive
Don't be shy
Come on in the water's fine
Neon lights
City lights
We just found what they couldn't find
You don't know
What it is
All you know is you can fucking feel it
That's the water
You didn't know
Cause this whole time you was breathing
Feel the water
Feel it now
Swimming back smoking on some seaweed
Underwater
Underwater
Underwater
Take a dive
Don't be shy
Come on in the water's fine
Neon lights
City lights
Underwater
I'm going under water baby come with me
Living under water swimming with the fish
Under water island
Under water living
Under water drinking
Under water falling
Driving through the high way in the night
Driving under water in the night
Driving through the rip tide tonight
Making all the waves come out tonight
The song "Underwater" by Gabriel & Dresden featuring Jan Burton is about the feeling of being submerged in water and the freedom that comes with it. The lyrics describe a world where everything can be done underwater, from living and drinking to driving and falling. It is an invitation to the listener to come and join the singer in this new world, experiencing the thrill of catching a wave before falling in love, and the excitement of driving through the rip tide at night.
The chorus of the song is particularly significant as it invites the listener to overcome their fears and take the plunge, diving into the water without fear or hesitation. The repetition of the phrase "underwater" throughout the song reinforces the theme of immersion and the sense of being in a different reality.
The song can be interpreted in different ways - on one hand, it can be seen purely as a celebration of the freedom and beauty of the underwater world; on the other hand, it can be interpreted as a metaphor for the feeling of being at peace with oneself and the world, and finding empowerment in letting go of fears and embracing the unknown.
