Toolroom Knights

2007 · Diamond · Миксы

The American duo Gabriel & Dresden seems to have achieved everything one can only dream of - constant tours in all countries and continents, topping the Billboard chart, even being recognized as 'Best American DJs' is on their resume. Besides various accolades, the project has a large number of very successful remixes, a full album 'Gabriel & Dresden', which has been recognized by many Western media as the best album of 2006 and has already seen a couple of reissues. Their second mix, released in the 'Toolroom Knights' series on the beautiful English house label Toolroom, is being prepared by Gabriel & Dresden according to all the rules of modern DJ art. They spent a long time selecting the best tracks and then spent a long time in the studio trying to match the tracks to one another - to finally create not a banal DJ mix, but a complete authorial work, fully justifying their numerous awards and accolades. The mix includes many new works by the duo, new collaborations with Toolroom, and also many works from such artists as James Holden (by the way, in an exclusive version), Junior Boys, Claude VonStroke, The Knife, The Egg, Ozgur Can, Dubfire, and many others. In short, the tracklist resembles a beautiful diamond tiara, shining with all its radiant light. And to describe the mix better than 'diamond' would be difficult.
