Gabriel Ananda

Gabriel Ananda is an electronic music artist and DJ from Cologne, Germany. He is known for his diversity of sound in which he melds a mixture of techno, house, electro, and Dub music into his DJ sets and musical productions.

Ananda was weaned on classical music before listening to rock bands such as Nirvana as a teenager, as well as minimalist electronic artists like Steve Reich. His musical career path was set after a young Gabriel saw (a now much documented) Sven Vath DJ set in 1995. Two years after that, Ananda released his first 12" single for German label Horspielmusik. He has gone on to release over twenty DJ singles, many on Karmarouge Records, as well as other famed minimal and techno labels like Trapez, Treibstoff Recordings, and Ladomat 2000.
