GAIA’s debut in Australia will be legendary!
It’s the moniker that Armin van Buuren and Benno De Goeij have been using since the first ’4 Elements’ release in 2001. Reviving it in 2009 with the rapturing ‘Tuvan’ was one of the many peaks of the duo.
With GAIA, Armin honors his love for trance music, celebrating the beauty of the emotional genre with highlights such as ‘Status Excessu D’ and ‘J’ai Envie De Toi’.
With a special GAIA set scheduled for ASOT 700 Australia, be prepared for many more of Armin’s GAIA madness to come in 2015 – their debut at Ultra Music Festival was legendary, relive the set below and check out the tracks GAIA must play at ASOT 700!
Aussie Summer Trance singlets & tees are available here – perfect for ASOT 700!
[radium_embed_video title=”Complementary to the meaning of ‘Gaia’, mother earth in Greek mythology, Armin came up with ’4 Elements’ in 2000. Earth, water, sky and fire were represented in this legendary trance track, which grew out to a true classic and therefore an essential piece of music in trance’s history.” link=”http://youtu.be/ojb9BvXevVY” size=”” fullwidth=”no” lightbox=”no” thumbnail=””]
[radium_embed_video title=”With mysterious vocal effects, a ground-shaking beat and little techy-effects, this floor filler has a timeless sound. ‘Tuvan’ has been shattering across the global dancefloors ever since it appeared on Armin’s ‘A State Of Trance 2009′ album. And it’ll surely do for generations to come.” link=”http://youtu.be/2VB_uz6G6C4″ size=”” fullwidth=”no” lightbox=”no” thumbnail=””]
[radium_embed_video title=”A cutting edge sound, combining trancy influences with a classical touch and banging impact, makes ‘Aisha’ a more than worthy follow-up to ‘Tuvan’ and all time classic ‘4 Elements’. ‘Aisha’ first appeared on Armin’s ‘A State of Trance 2010’ album and became the anthem to the 2010 edition of Dutch maritime event SAIL.” link=”http://youtu.be/ECHRCVe5cX4″ size=”” fullwidth=”no” lightbox=”no” thumbnail=””]
[radium_embed_video title=”‘Status Excessu D’ has everything a brilliant theme song needs: energy, strong beats, a warm melody, a real classic feel and a break that sends shivers down your spine no matter how many times you’ve listened to it. This is ‘Status Excessu D’, the official A State of Trance 500 theme and sound of a future that’ll surely hold many more beloved A State of Trance episodes.” link=”http://youtu.be/g8pT1IAAZ9A” size=”” fullwidth=”no” lightbox=”no” thumbnail=””]
