BIIANCO Building GAIA, Building A World
BIIANCO is not interested in fitting into the mold. From their earliest days on stage to their current place in the intricate dance conversation, they have built a career on refusing to play it safe. For them, music isn’t just a soundtrack to the rave; it’s a platform for identity, resistance, and connection, a way of showing up fully, with flaws, fire, and all.
That drive has crystallized in GAIA, the party they launched this year with a sold-out debut at Corsica Studios. More than a rave, GAIA feels like a manifesto: FLINTA-forward lineups, accessibility built into every detail, and a family-style approach to curation where artists are chosen as much for their integrity as for their ability to light up the dancefloor. It’s loud, unapologetic, and deeply intentional, a reflection of BIIANCO’s own journey as a queer, femme, neurodivergent, and partially blind artist navigating the global scene.
But GAIA is only one side of the story. Behind the booth, BIIANCO putheys just as hard, blurring the line between DJ set and live show with looping, hardware improvisation, and relentless energy. Add to that their obsession with engineering, their roots in classical music, and their determination to use dance culture as a community-building force, and you get the kind of artist ADE exists to celebrate: uncompromising, inventive, and building the future in real time.
If the global rave circuit has sometimes felt predictable, GAIA is BIIANCO’s answer to tearing up the script. Launched with a sold-out night at Corsica Studios and already scaling to Colour Factory and Los Angeles, GAIA is more than just another party series. It’s a blueprint for what the next chapter of
high-energy club culture could look like: risk-ta- king lineups, radical inclusivity, and a sense of belonging that you can feel from the moment you step inside.
“GAIA came out of so many late-night conversa- tions with close friends,
raving together, where we’d talk about what was missing in the scene. I wanted to build a night that wasn’t just another club booking, but a real space focused on four things: the most exciting talent in high-energy, hard dance music; FLIN- TA-forward lineups that go beyond tokenism; a sense of inclusivity that you can actually feel the moment you walk in; and real accessibility for those who are usually left out of nightlife experien- ces.”
“The name GAIA felt right because it’s about creating a world, not just an event, that nurtures and uplifts. Gaia was the original Greek represen- tation of Mother Earth. The party itself is rooted in joy, connection, and sonic chaos, but also in responsibility to the community. I don’t just want people to dance. I want them to feel like they be- long.”
usually after playing or
That vision isn’t abstract; it’s built into every layer of the night. BIIANCO’s own lived experience as a queer, femme, disabled artist makes accessibility a non-negotiable.
“As many people know, I became visually disabled after an accident a few years ago, and since then, accessibility in rave spaces has gone from something I never thought about to something that directly shapes how I move through the world. So building a space that’s intentionally inclusive and accommodating wasn’t just a nice-to-have, it was non-negotiable.”
It also appears in the bookings. GAIA lineups prioritize artists whose communities mirror its ethos, creating a space where belonging is more than a slogan.
“All of my most formative rave experiences have taken place in queer, community-focused envi- ronments. That’s the blueprint for GAIA. It shows up in who I book, artists whose fanbases and creative energy reflect the exact community I want to build this with. And because I’m queer, femme, and disabled, my fanbase naturally shares those same values, so in a way, this is just an extension of the world we already move in.”
