Sandler & Television
In September of 2007, Gabe Sandler purchased approximately 46.5% of the shares of the public company Reality Racing Incorporated, a holding company of reality television entertainment properties that focus on the racing industry. The company's first show, Reality Racing, premiered May 19th, 2007 on Spike TV , a division of Viacom's MTV Networks business unit. The show's first season, "Reality Racing -- The Rookie Challenge", was a vital part of Spike TV's Powerblock of programming, which also included the popular shows Bullrun and . The show was the market leader amongst male audiences 18 to 49 years of age, and achieved the highest ratings of any fully-distributed cable channel during that time period.
Sandler & Music
Gabe Sandler was introduced to electronic music in the late-1980's growing up in the Detroit, Michigan area, where innovative radio DJs like the Electrifyin' Mojo, the Wizard (Jeff Mills) and Gary Chandler took over the airwaves nightly to inspire the market with unconventional new sounds and artists. Inspired by the more electronic sounds and live-mixing styles of Mills and Chandler, and a rapidly-flourishing "alternative rock" movement in the early-1990s, Sandler produced his first track in 1992 as part of a school project. He took up DJing a year later by splicing mixtapes together, but a serendipitous discovery of a discarded record collection in a dumpster in the fall of 1993 launched him immediately into an obsessive career of vinyl DJing and live production. He is now most known for marathon sets meshing together hundreds of records, and layering influences of all genres, from gospel to country to metal to rap; all with a house, techno and electro groove. Sandler has performed all over the world, on several major Texas radio stations, and has been involved in several studio production projects in Houston, Texas and Detroit, Michigan.
As a promoter, Sandler began producing concert events in the Fall of 1993, and has organized several University-sponsored academic events focusing on the origins of DJing, hip hop and electronic music.
