Hey, thanks for doing this. You guys have been one of my long-term favorite acts. Not a lot of EDM groups that make music people fall in love to and you guys have always been great about giving back to fans.

I will probably have a few questions if possible, but my first is regarding the structure some of the aesthetics your music / dynamic has. It has always seemed to me that your project is very much like two parts of a whole. When you were apart, listening to you separately was exactly like listening to one half of G&D. I think this comes from each of your background's and how you came up in the scene to some extend, Dave coming from playing clubs and Josh being more formally trained. Even the name "Gabriel & Dresden" has conveyed a sense of almost binary aesthetics. Gabriel has always made me think of the archangel an Dresden of the firebombing of the German city. Can you speak a little to how willfully structured this is, or how organic this all is? Is it just a circumstance of how it came together or is there something intentional and conscious behind this?

What do you think about music informatics and machine learning systems? Do you think they have a big future in EDM or do you think the grooves will be generated primarily from human feelings for the foreseeable future?

-What is your favorite G&D essential mix?

-What are some of your favorite books?

-If you had to go back and redo your careers, but it could not be in the music industry, what would you choose and why? Choose assuming you would be successful in this field.
