Know Your Artist: Ben Gold

How old is Ben Gold? Well, he has to be pretty mature to be producing the dance – tastic tracks he brings out like ‘Fall With Me’, ‘Amplified’ and ‘Mesocyclone’. But he’s only 26. Ben Gold has many years of experience under his belt, but he started out at the awkward age of 15, taught himself how to spin itout, and within a year he had been signedonto Trance Nation, which is a pretty big damn deal.
The dance music industry began to take notice, with leading albums such as the biggest selling European compilation “Dream Dance” grabbing up his work to feature with some of the most established and respected producers from across the field. It’s absolutely clear that he’s on his way to the top, getting widespread acclaim from stalwarts such as Paul Oakenfold who signed him to the Perfecto imprint and the UK leg of his Album tour, and I quote – “Ben Gold is a talented young producer and definitely one to watch out for in the future”.

Call Paul Oakenfold a soothsayer, because in 2012 Ben Gold was signed onto Gareth Emery’s Garuda and now he’s well on his way to joining the creamy layer of the dance music spectrum. Producing beautiful tracks in the trance genre, Golds’ music is being featured on Armin Van Buurens ‘Tune Of The Week’, Above and Beyond’s ‘Tune of the Week’ and frequently featured in Mixmag as their ‘Tune Of The Month’. With consistent radio play on broadcast stations such as BBC Radio 1 and features on ASOT, and Tiestos Club Life, Ben Gold is certainly going worldwide.

He’s quickly becoming a staple favorite at festivals with his elevating performances and uplifting trance tunes, and you can definitely tell by how hectic and global his tour schedule is! After spending most of 2009 composing, producing and engineering tracks for other big names, Ben Gold launched his own ‘Be:Gold’, and delivered “Starstruck and Sunstroke” which became huge with Armin, Tiesto & Gareth Emery. Gold’s remix of ‘Andy Moor & Ashley Walbridge – Faces’ gave him the respect he really deserved among trance lovers which led Armin to quote “He is really on fire right now.”
His is now everywhere, from Miami to LA, Australia to Ibiza, with main room appearances at events such as Bal en Blanc in Montreal, the famous ASOT celebration parties, Global Gathering, Creamfields and he’s just become the newly crowned resident of The Gallery held at the biggest club in the World, Ministry of Sound.

It’s safe to say that Ben Gold is going places, and pretty soon he’s going to be hitting your city in India. Be sure to check him out because his tracks really can rival productions by some of the biggest names in the industry. So let’s give a shout out to the unstoppable Ben Gold, because he’s truly got the Midas touch.
