76 marks a notable departure from van Buuren's signature trance sound, delving into the downtempo and trip-hop territories often explored by his side project, Gaia. This album showcases a more experimental and relaxed side of the artist, moving away from the high-energy dance floor anthems he was primarily known for at the time.
- The album was released on June 1, 2003, by Armada Music.
- While van Buuren is primarily known for trance, 76 explores genres such as trip-hop and downtempo.
- The release predates the formation of van Buuren's Gaia project, though it shares sonic similarities.
