Spreading the love for music
Glorious celebration of the 650th episode of A State Of Trance in Miami and fantastic live performance by Gaia.
March 30 was held a grand show of A State Of Trance 650 New Horizons in Miami. At the music festival were the most famous DJs in the world. Epic line up was filled with recognizable names: Jochen Miller, Orjan Nilsen, Andrew Rayel, Myon & Shane 54, Cosmic Gate, Aly&Fila b2b JohnO’Callaghan, New World Punx, Paul van Dyk. And long-awaited live set of Gaia.
Moscow, Yekaterinburg, Almaty, Utrecht, Santiago De Chile, Buenos Aires, Kuala Lumpur, Jakarta — it is name of cities, where were massive parties of the 650th episode celebration. Legends of electronic dance music and young talents blew up dancefloors with their stunning live sets. And now — Miami.
Most to fans of trance music that night remembered the first ever live performance by Gaia. It is an alias of Armin van Buuren. He began to write his tracks under this name in 2000. A new Gaia’s track is a special moment for all of fans around the world, because it does not happen often. Usually Armin immediately write about it on Twitter:
That night in Miami he performed together with his studio partner Benno de Goeij from Rank 1.
I think it’s not even a project. Gaia is a special sound of music. I would say it is cosmic sounds. It’s an endless flow of feelings, soul flight into space. The final destination — a state of euphoria.
So, for the fans it was a huge surprise. They raised their hands up and enjoyed the music. I recently wrote about other Armin’s show, so I realize what was going on there at that night.
I read a lot of reviews about this special live set on Twitter. Fans compare Armin and Benno with assassins. It is amazing! However, you can see how it was, seeing a full set.
When I listen to Gaia, I feel the greatness and beauty of trance music. And if you want to learn more about this style of music, first I suggest you start with this or this.
I was writing this article when I learned about a great news. The official page of project “Gaia” appeared on Twitter! It’s name The Voice of Gaia. Perhaps, there will be new performances in the future or even an album. I am so excited!
