This is, in my opinion, the DEFINITION of Trance music. Look up "Trance" in the dictionary... it says "See GAIA" !! 😉

10 years later and this set still hits hard.

Listening in 2022, and this still remains the best set ever!!!

Like it was yesterday, I still remember this phenomenal music set performed by GAIA (Armin and Benno). It was magical, the nicest atmosphere this crowd created by just being there at that moment. People that assisted to this venue, do you remember the unity, love and energy that night? I know I do. Every single mix performed to the best ability a producer would do, not for nothing Ultra is ULTRA, couldn't said it any better. Looking forward to 2024. This March Miami gets ready for the party of a lifetime, once you're there, trust me and you'll be hooked on a festival of this magnitude. I introduced my adult two kids to these festivals and ever since they've gone to EDC, Ultra, Imagine........music unites people, music brings enemies sharing the same grounds, so much hate in this World and yet here we are, people waving their flags side by side. Electronic music forever. ❤

We need GAIA live as soon as possible ❤

THAT'S TRANCE!, when your hear almost rips out from your chest or you feel it up your throat because it wants you to move more. THAT'S FUCKING TRANCE when you close your eyes and you are instantly ported through the magnificent universe with images of Light and Sound without being high on anything other than the music. THAT'S FUCKING TRANCE!!!

Trance in its purest form.. You don't see that very often today! I really appreciate it!

I love how they didn't even jump around or yell into a mic like pretty much all DJs nowadays do. The hoods and lack of movement force everyone to focus and really take in the beauty of the music... Such a riveting, compelling performance, just finished listening to the set for the 6th time since it aired :3 I hope more people continue exploring past the thick layer of big-room filth that stains the image of electronic music and discover how much talent there really is out there.

Nice: I agree with your first paragraph. This is incredible music and I have no idea how they stayed still through the set. However, I strongly disagree with you about the "big-room filth".

I agree, and check out A state of Trance episode 300 part 2. Markus Schultz set and Armin's set. Trust me. Seriously. Look it up .....

There's no other thing here than the letting the music do the talking. This is the set that will be remembered as the rebirth of proper trance. No DJ showmanship, no mics, no gimmicks , just the music , the atmosphere and what I think is already a contender for set of the year. Armin set out under gaia to show his one true love for trance music and the emotional journey it takes you on. This set is that. I haven't stopped playing this. Perfect from start to finish. Gaia is his interpretation of what trance should be. It's his way of safeguarding trance as a genre, a tribute if you will to the music we all love. There's a lot of people in that crowd that have no idea as to what they are witnessing. Benno and armin as gaia Is the future. This is what ASOT is all about.

They wore hoods because they are interpreting that they are monks who worship Gaia (earth goddess in classical mythology) and they don't show emotions because, besides they are very concentrated mixing, they are trying to create a special atmosphere, kind of like they are saying "this music is the voice of Gaia, it's time to fly to heaven listening this" it's like a spiritual feeling, this is what Gaia is all about. At least this is what I think.
