..A few years ago trance became so cheesy and it made it difficult for me because people playing underground trance got lumped in with that commercial trance. So the music went deeper and darker, then it went so deep and so dark that it went up its own ass and started killing the dance floor. Attendances started dropping. Now, I think the music is heading back towards a more powerful, stronger trance sound, an underground sound with bite. Something for the body and the mind,

Written by Tara (15th April, 2025)
It’s been just over 15 years since I last interviewed musical pioneer Banco de Gaia on HarderFaster and in that time the world has changed considerably. What has remained constant however is his consistently brilliant musical productions, illustrated by last year’s fantastic album Trauma, as well as his high-energy live sets.
After warming up for Toby at last September’s Trauma album launch party in London and being blown away by his set, I knew it was definitely time to find what else has been going on in his world. With gigs coming up in Exeter (Friday 25 April), Leicester (Friday 9 May), Birmingham (Saturday 10 May) and Manchester (Friday 16 May) and bookings confirmed for this summer's Sacred Earth Gathering, Glastonbury Festival, Free-Earth Festival (Greece) and the mighty Ozora Festival (Hungary), he’s certainly not showing any signs of slowing down yet!
