New and longtime fans of electronic music typically know Armin van Buuren. Benno de Goeij is known by many old school electronic music fans from the late ’90s, then again as Rank 1 in the early 2000s. He has arguably been the keystone of Dutch trance’s beginnings and even became “popular” again as Kamaya Painters with Tiesto. Together, Armin van Buuren and Benno de Goeij infuse to form GAIA, and their next project will surpass all previous expectations.
“Moons of Jupiter” is beyond trance, it has no creative limits.

Every creative outlet was tapped when this album was made. No stone left unturned. No vibe left unexplored.
Here’s a statement from both van Buuren and de Goeij.
Armin van Buuren: “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 de Goeij: “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.”
The entire album is out now.
