During Ultra Miami last year, the mysterious duo Gaia performed for the very first time, finally giving a face to the elusive name. Well, not exactly… The hooded duo project have performed several times now in the their trademark, obscured outfits, keeping the mystery alive as to who, exactly the two performers are on stage.
Ever the champions of what is lovingly referred to as the “classic” trance sound, Gaia are not afraid to push the tempo, employing slowly evolving textures and slight modulations to fully evoke the feeling of trance as it was originally meant to be: a state of mind. Making classic records since 2000, Gaia was indeed ‘In Principio’ — at the forefront of the trance movement. Now they are back to where it all began, with a new release that will undoubtedly appeal to diehard fans and newcomers alike.
Dimitri Kechagias review: Armind music is the legendary trance record label owned by Armin van Buuren and now its time for the brand new release by Gaia. I will never forget their live performance at the Armada Night during ADE 2014. The set was brilliant and the whole idea to keep the performers covered and their dj set truly mysterious and inspirational made that difference in spiritual level that night. Now the stunning Gaia project is back with the massive In Principio which is trance at is best and most importantly modern, adventurous, edgy and always at the leading side of trance. Straight forward production that manage to be perfect for mainstage and pure proglifting trance sets. Tough bouncy drums, energetic punchy basslines, superb drums and great percussion along with mysterious epic style synthy themes that create a sense of excitement. The breakdown tells definitely a mythical story and absorb your interest rather that letting the dancefloor to go for a drink until the beat drops. In trance the breakdown is equally important like the main uplifting section and that record goes right at the heart with a bang. Crazy monster distorted rave style synthy hook and epic strings makes this track a classic symphonic uplifting trance experience that will be one of the summer trance anthems without doubts. #PureGold Love It
