Gaia

Gaia is the renowned electronic dance music alias created by Dutch DJ and producer Armin van Buuren, often in collaboration with fellow producer Benno de Goeij. Since its inception in 2009, Gaia has become synonymous with a signature sound that blends elements of classic trance with cutting-edge production techniques. Characterized by hypnotic melodies, driving basslines, and ethereal atmospheres, Gaia’s releases quickly became anthems for trance purists and club crowds alike.

Tracks like "Tuvan," "Empire of Hearts," and "Saint Vitus" exemplify the project's ability to capture both the euphoria and depth of the genre. Preferring artistic anonymity, Gaia performances often focus on the music rather than individual personas, with live appearances known for powerful, immersive sets that fuse new material with beloved staples. As a project, Gaia stands as a testament to the enduring influence of trance and the creative partnership between its two masterminds, continuing to captivate audiences around the globe.
