Banco De Gaia, primarily known as the stage name of British musician Toby Marks, has been a seminal figure in the world of electronic music since the early 1990s. Marks skillfully blends elements of world music with ambient soundscapes, dub, and electronica, creating a sound that is both ethereal and grounded, transcending cultural and musical boundaries. The project's name, inspired by the term 'Bank of Gaia,' reflects Marks' interests in environmental issues and global unity, often echoed in his music's themes and samples.

Over the years, Banco De Gaia has continued to evolve and explore new musical territories. Recent releases, such as "My Little Country" and "Altered Realities Vol. 2," showcase the enduring ability to adapt and innovate within the rapidly changing landscape of electronic music. The diversity of his work is evident, ranging from the intense beats of "Obsidian (Remixes Pt. One)" to the introspective moods of "Kintsugi" and "Floatless." Marks' extensive discography, including the historical exploration in "Rewritten Histories, Vol. 4: 2013 - 2017" and the mythic storytelling of "The Princess and the Sky Goat," illustrates an artist dedicated to crafting sonic journeys that resonate with fans across generations. With a career spanning over three decades, Banco De Gaia's contributions to the electronic music world remain innovative and profoundly influential.
