Started by Armin van Buuren alone back in 2000 and revived in 2009 together with Benno De Goeij, Gaia has become a regular part of Armin’s Trance side next to his more various styled outcome as Deejay and Producer. After Live debuts as Gaia back in Gaia there were many rumors about an artist album. Now 10 years after Benno and Armin revived Gaia, the album has finally become reality. Described by Armin as one of his most personal artist albums, “Moons Of Jupiter” is the only long player of Armin released in 2019.
Armin about the album: “Throughout the years, we created a variety of synths, beats and loops that were more underground and not always useable for my sound and genre. We always had so much fun exploring different genres and charting different loops and sounds that we felt it was time to combine this under the name GAIA.”
Benno adds: “We’ve really stepped out of our comfort zone, exploring both minimalistic as well as complex sounds, creating track arrangements live on stage rather than in the studio. We even created our own hardware, giving us all the freedom to take people on the journey to the Moons Of Jupiter.”
With their first-ever album Armin & Benno show that music doesn’t have any boundaries. It’s made for those who have learned to listen between the lines, which shines through in their unique live shows as they take listeners on a journey out of this world and into a new one. So go ahead and explore the universe that GAIA so thoughtfully created. Chances are you’ll find out that everything is connected beautifully one way or another.
Armin van Buuren & Benno De Goeij’s first Gaia artist album “Moons Of Jupiter” is out on June 21st 2019!
