The French producers Yannis Kamarinos and Jean Michel Blanchet formed the trance and ambient act Jaïa in 1995.
First Jaïa album "Blue Energy" (Cross/East West/Nova Tekk), was released in 1998, and re-released in 2000 as a double CD with a 6 tracks bonus CD under the name of "Blue Energy/Blue Synergy" (Dakini/Yellow Feather, Japan).
Jaïa released several 12 inches too, as well as numerous tracks on various labels compilations, such as Island/Universal, Iboga, Wagram, Milan, Nova Tekk, T.I.P. World, or Flying Rhino ones. Since 2000 Yannis has worked alone under the Jaïa name. Today Jaïa's music is a crossover between progressive trance, progressive house, psy morning trance and electro. Jaïa is also still producing ambient and downtempo tracks.
