Inzwischen ist es offiziell: Gabriel & Dresden haben sich getrennt.
Dave hat das vor ein paar Stunden in seinem Myspaceblog gepostet:
rumors, truths, hellohello friends and fans
some of you may have noticed that i have not checked into myspace at all this year. it has been quite a few troubling months for me and frankly i just didn’t know what to say here, but now i can talk freely and participate in the community and so please accept this blog as my grand hello.
yes, the rumor is true. Gabriel & Dresden and parted ways for the time being. Over the past year, Josh and i have been moving apart as artists and we decided rather than milk it and be moderately happy together that we separate and examine ourselves as individual artists for a while. Our final date was the beatport pool party in miami on march 30th. For those who were there, i want to thank each and every one of you for showing Josh and I the love and support that you did. A lot of the set was songs that we have individually been working on interspersed with a few fan favorites. I will remember that hour and 15 minutes forever because i certainly felt the love with all the hands in the air and the well-wishes.
After WMC i went into the hospital to have shoulder surgery. I had a torn rotator cuff and after years of constant dislocations to my shoulder, i wanted to get that out of the way so that i can be 100% when i hit the road in mid-may as a solo artist.
I have also been very busy in the studio with my own music. I made a track with my good friend chris cox back in february called "Hole Wide" - it samples a relatively obscure song from the 80’s band tears for fears "advice for the young at heart" and it’s the kind of feel-good house i have always wanted to make but never did. Some of you may have caught it on pete tong’s essential selection show yesterday. if you didn’t check out the bbc.co.uk/radio1 site and have a listen to the show. he played it right before the essential new tune.
it will take a few more weeks for me to recover fully from my operation and then i will announce my tour plans.
and for the 1000’s of people who have reuested to be my friend, please be patient, i will add all of you.
godspeed,
dave
