Banco de Gaia is an English electronic music project, formed in 1989 by Toby Marks (born 1964,[citation needed] South London, England).
The music of Banco de Gaia is mostly categorized as ambient dub and downtempo. Marks works to cross genres, often using Arabic and Middle Eastern samples against a bass heavy reggae, rock, or trance rhythm to produce deeply textured tracks that progress layer upon layer.
