Winter Kills
The Winter Kills project is comprised of award winning producer/artist/DJ Josh Gabriel, and vocalist Meredith Call. They began to collaborate in 2008 and quickly realized that Gabriel’s emotional music created the perfect place for Call’s haunting vocal performances.
Josh Gabriel lives, breathes, and loves music and has been at it for 25 years. Well prepared and trained, Josh Gabriel rose to international fame as part of the Gabriel & Dresden duo, winning seven industry awards for production, songwriting and DJ’ing, as well as achieving numerous sky-high chart positions. Magical productions, unforgettable collaborations and number one remixes were part of Gabriel’s daily life.
When Gabriel teamed up with singer/songwriter Meredith Call, the musical chemistry was solid and they decided to embark on a journey to write an entire album together. Over a year in the making, the debut Winter Kills album has been a true labor of love. Featuring Call’s stunning vocals, the twelve tracks that comprise their record run the gamut from 80s-inflected rock to ethereal trance, with stopovers in ambient pop and techno-inflected house.
Winter Kills’s first single, ‘Deep Down,’ delivers a myriad of deep bass and a maze of intricate melodic spins, ensuring that Meredith’s vocals and cleverly constructed lyrics put a spell on any music lover’s ears and mind. ‘Deep Down’ added an extra emotional tone to Armin van Buuren’s A State of Trance 2009 compilation, featured on the first CD. ‘Deep Down’ is another groundbreaking production to be added to the Josh Gabriel realm of music.
The second single, ‘My Friend’, is already shimmering in the minds of fans with its edgy video and early radio support from the world’s top DJs. Needless to say, its release is the talk of the EDM community. Most recently, Winter Kills paired up with none other than Armin Van Buuren to bring us the sonorous aria “Take a Moment” for his brand new artist album, “Mirage.”
The Winter Kills debut artist album is scheduled for release in January, 2011.
