Biografie
Aquila are Jonas & Thomas, born and raised in a small town near Ghent in Belgium. Due to shared interests they soon found each other and in 2001 they set up the 'Mental Gymnastics' organisation. Organising numerous psychedelic parties enabled them to work their way into the Belgian psytrance scene. Their most infamous realisations include a legendary Astral Projection party.
In the meantime Jonas (DJ Bonas) was testing out his mixing skills and the two of them got interested in the production side of the music. Eager to learn more about these possibilities they took part in an electronic music production course organised by the SAE institute in Rotterdam, Holland. Many hours of home production and the acquiring of the right hard- and software followed.
Early 2006 they met with the Dacru guys when they organised the Orientation Vol.1 release party together. The attention was startled for their music as well, leading to their participation in the next releases of the Orientation series. After which they joined the label. Following many releases with Dacru Records and various labels, they released their debut full album 'Gain Control' in April of 2009. The album quickly lead to bookings in Japan, Russia and Fusion festival in Germany, while many other countries around Europe had already been visited. More recent releases include digital EP's like 'Weekend Travellers' and 'Weird Existence', with tracks picked up by the likes of Astrix. The party is guaranteed with Aquila!
