Gaia is a music group started initially as an alias of Armin van Buuren, which is known for the songs like "Tuvan", "Stellar" and "Empire of Hearts".^[1] The current members of Gaia are Armin van Buuren and Benno de Goeij, hence when a Gaia set is performed live, Armin and Benno both take the stage together. Armin has a running joke where he refers to Gaia as 'his friends' in order to not associate himself with the project.^[2]

A future Gaia album is in the works as stated by Armin van Buuren in a Q&A session with fans on Facebook.
