SOMEWHERE IN TIME...

In 1997 Bart Gabriel (music journalist, manager and producer) formed the Bard Music, which was renamed to Dragonight Agency in early 2000. Between 2000 and 2008, Dragonight Agency worked with more than 50 bands and artists being responsible for their exclusive or additional management, booking or promotion, and promoted, organized, and co-organized several open air festivals, club shows, tours as well as the official promo campaigns of the album releases. In early 2007, Dragonight Agency became division of the Alphard Sound Technology Enterprise, and Bart Gabriel - after working several years as a freelance music journalist for magazines from Poland (Metal Hammer), Japan (Daemonic Majesty) and Holland (Headache) - started the Hard Rocker magazine, which is currently 1 of 3 biggest Metal/Rock magazines in Poland, and which is available on license in Czech Republic and Slovakia.

I have known and worked with Mr. Gabriel for over 5 years now, and I can attest to the fact that he is deeply passionate about all things concerning Music, Business, and the creative Arts & the creative process. His dedication to his work shines clearly through in all that he chooses to undertake. The Bart Gabriel that I know is determined, resourceful, creative and fiercely devoted to the choices he makes and the Projects he commits to. Bart carries the courage of his convictions, and has the tenacity and power of the will to see them through. In working with Bart, I have always found him to have an endless source of energy, enthusiasm, and an interesting alternative point of view..."

David DeFeis (Virgin Steele band, United States)

"...My assessment about Bart is that he is not afraid of putting down energy in projects, he is reliable, works fast and gets the job done!..."

Andy La Rocque (King Diamond / Sonic Train Studios, Sweden)

"...I know Bart Gabriel as a very correct business partner, who always lives up to what he promises. He was always of help contacting bands and throughout all the LP projects we did, he kept the motor running and pushed the involved partners to exceed expactions. Bart always replied timely and the contact is, and always has been, very polite. It would be my pleasure to do future projects together with Bart, and I wish him good luck and success for his future..."

Steffen Boehm (High Roller Records, Germany)

"...Bart seems kinda like an extraterrestrial in the business. Dealing with some of the biggest names around, he will work in the same way and with the same passion with young and/or not so famous bands. All is for the passion of the music, and nothing else. This man breaths and eats music. Another important point is that he won't take hours to say that you might be wrong here or there, what can be very helpfull for bands, which sometimes don't have honest external professional point of view to make them go one step further. It's a real pleasure working with him, as he's totally open minded, and has very good ideas to show bands the way. He's got the experience & the background to make things moving on..."

Jens Borner (Lonewolf band, France)
