Producer, composer, multi-instrumentalist, and Blue Dot Music label owner Nicholas Gunn's atmospheric instrumental compositions combine earthy and ambient electronic textures. He reached the Top Ten of Billboard's New Age Albums chart for the first time with 1994's The Sacred Fire on his way to becoming a mainstay on the new age charts, including Top Ten albums such as 1995's The Music of the Grand Canyon (which charted for 55 weeks), 2007's Encanto (with guitarist Johannes Linstead), and 2012's Thirty-One Nights. That year, he also produced a cover of Sonique's trance hit "It Feels So Good" for (We Are) Nexus that became a Top 20 dance hit. Gunn delivered his 21st studio album, Sound Condition, in 2021. Some of his subsequent work included trance collaborations with the likes of York and Sam Martin ("Higher") and Armin van Buuren and Aly & Fila (penning "For All Time").
