rudee aka Josh Gallahan

Since 2008 the stage name Josh Gallahan alias Rudi Dittmann has been heard all over the planet.

From his hometown Bochum where the studied audio producer made his first steps towards his musical career in the late 90s, he has been tipped as "hottest producer 2011" by ATB in the DJ Mag magazine and entered top 30 of "The DJ List".

Being very well known for his variety of productions and remixes for artists like Andy Moor, Markus Schulz, Alex M.O.R.P.H., Talla2XLC and Kurd Maverick, 2002 he started a still lasting working relationship with no other than ATB. This not only influenced the last five ATB albums, but also allowed Josh to explore and broaden his horizon, both personally and musically. This relationship also wakes up his passion for DJing and gives him the possibility to travel all around the globe with ATB on his tours and booking.

“I still love to work as producer in the background, but to be on stage is the greatest feeling. I'm simply addicted to feel the energy of the crowd.”

2008 he finally released his long anticipated solo single “1st strike” on the well known label “A State of Trance”, and got massive support by guys like Armin van Buuren, Markus Schulz, Paul Oakenfold to name a few. 

After his successful first single Josh’s next stroke of genius was „Shades of love“, featuring the vocals of none other than the internationally well know singer Jennifer Karr.

In 2010 Josh Gallahan once again showed his compassion for electronic dance music by working on many songs as a producer and contributing songs as songwriter for ATBs top 10 album “Future Memories”. One of the most popular tracks of the album is ATB pres. Josh Gallahan „Luminescence“. 

2011 started furiously with his single "Sunday Afternoon" and the next ATB Top 10 album "Distant Earth" including tracks like ATB & Josh Gallahan "Chapter One". Under his synonym Anova, Josh also released on the second CD of Distant Earth his ambient track “Sternenwanderer”, which shows with emotional melodies his more quite side and proved his enormous musical portfolio as producer.

Another highlights of 2011 are definitely his remixes for Axwell’s worldwide clubhit “Heart is King” as well as for ATB’s “Killing me inside”. Two fantastic tracks which accompanied him beneath other on gigs at Cocoon Club, Germany; Marquee Club, USA; Club Premier, Mexico; Kiss FM Birthday, Ukraine; ATB in Concert, Poland; Ton aus Strom, Germany; Electrocity, Poland; Club Kremlin, Romania.
