Growing up with classical music and somewhat involuntary cello lessons, Gabriel Ananda's musical world changed when he was privileged to experience a DJ set by Sven Väth in 1995. After this revelatory experience Ananda began experimenting with electronic sounds, two years later releasing his first record on the German Label Hörspielmusik followed by several 12" releases on imprints like Trapez, Sub Static and last but not least Karmarouge Records. Refreshingly different from the common techno mainstream Gabriel Ananda breaks hearing-habits using well dosed deep structured sounds. Connoisseurs of the uncommon enjoy his straight and fiddly cool beats. Definitions are overcome once techno, house and dub merge in Gabriel Ananda's productions. 'Acoustic elements give a personal note to my electronic music', he says.
