Ádám Huszár "Retroid " was born in 1983 in Hatvan, Hungary and he is living in a town called Gyöngyös. He had been attracted by music from his childhood. He started to tune up in 1998 on his first computer. First of all he likes musics which can give some kind of individual feeling, has got special atmosphere and interresting voices. He prefers ambient, breaks, electro with progressive sounding. He mostly use progressive elements in his musics and he often use broken beats. In 1998 he started the music producting with ambient and electro, but he has disregard from these genere. Later he turned to progressive breaks and house.

The hard work lead to success: his tracks are welcomed and supported by various djs. He also involved in various remix contests and the results show, that he is not just a talented producer, but in some cases the best: he won two remix contests so far. He produces music all the time and looks for contacts from the progressive scene.

ROBBIE

Robbie was born at Club Korona, Hungary, around 1995, when the former Robert Kecskes was exposed to the total culture shock made by the nu born electronic scene in Hungary. These years Korona was the point of origin for spreading electronic music and clubbing scene in Hungary, and it was the place where Robbie caught the electronic music bug, and came into the Hungarian club scene, first behind the decks.

At that time, the most preeminent figures of the international scene, such as Sasha, Digweed, Dave Seaman, Lee Burridge, Layo and Buschwacka or Anthony Pappa, all regularly popped up at Korona. Robbie was lucky enough to be a part of this experience which has played a big part in shaping him into what he is today: a floor rocking dj whose music includes progressive house, progressive breaks and some electro.

GABRIEL A DAWN

The first 2 years he played funky and RnB! After that he was asked to play in some clubs and started to play a new style of house.... Every month he played in the Hungarian big club E-KLUB and in the 2 years that followed he traveled around the half of Hungary. The word got around in Hungary and one owner who had the biggest club in Budapest asked him if he would like to play in his new club! Of course he thought it was a good idea and that.s how he got a new friday residency in FACE MUSIC-CLUB. Also this was a learning experience for him and he learned some technical mixing and started playing with 3 turntables. Since he has a solid background in computers it was also time to spend time on producing and soon the first productions would see the light of day. The word got around and he travelled all around Hungary performing. Gigs in the neighbouring countries could also be added to the list After two years because of personal reasons he had to take a two year rest-period...

In 2004 the virus kicked in again and he goes with a new style, namely progressive and electro!

Several times mixes from his hand were played on national radio-stations. Because he played all over Hungary he knows a lot of people, they found out that he does remixes from all kinds of songs so he was asked to make some remixes for other DJ.s.

Remixes from his hand are: Genesis . I can.t dance(Gabriel A Dawn re-edit two) David Guetta . The world is mine(Gabriel A Dawn prog re-edit two) Madonna . Frozen(Gabriel A Dawn downlift remix

In 2005 he played at a party in Romania where he met DJ Peric.They became friends since they share the same interest for the music. Since Bond is always looking for new challenges his eye caught the existence of Ableton. He.s setting up a live-act. Peric & GAD(Gabriel A Dawn) . NewSome is an production from their hand. 2006 was the time to come up with a new name, because the name DJ Bond was too much related to his old style, so now it.s Gabriel A Dawn.

A lot of work still needs to be done but the Ableton-set will soon be a fact.
