At the helm of the Trance movement since his first forays into the genre, Ben Gold has always been a main supplier of the infectious melodies the genre is known and loved for. Today, he delivers another one through ‘Kingdoms’, which not only marks an outstanding production from the hand of the London-based DJ and producer, but also sees him debut on Armin van Buuren’s Armind imprint.
Demonstrating his skill as an anthem creator as well as his knack for creating soaring and unforgettable melodies, ‘Kingdoms’ give the Ben Gold fans exactly what they want. Premiered by Armin van Buuren himself during Aly & Fila’s celebratory FSOE 500 event and named as the Tune Of The Week in the 838th episode of Armin van Buuren’s A State Of Trance radio show, it shows his loyal subjects why they fell in love with his music in the first place and vows that more is still to come for all who pledged their loyalty to the Trance empire.
A tastemaker on various imprints (from Gareth Emery’s Garuda to Armin van Buuren’s A State Of Trance and his own #Goldrush Recordings), Ben Gold has been one of Trance’s main men since 2008 saw him deliver his first few blistering singles. Now, the Trance icon has graced stages on festivals such as A State Of Trance, Creamfields, EDC and more, created the anthem for the massive A State Of Trance 750 events and collaborated with the likes of Christina Novelli, Gareth Emery, Omnia, Standerwick and more. This new single proves that Ben Gold is still worthy of his spot on the Trance throne.

[content title="Summary" label="Overall Score"]It's not easy for an artist to get a release on Armin's very own label Armind but Ben Gold deserves this honour 100%. His track Kingdoms is trance at it should sound today with big fat thumping drums, banging full on basslines, warm emotional electronic synthy riffs and huge euphoric synthy stabs that ensure domination to the maximum. The build up is intense and suspenseful landing on a climax that is powerstorming and headbanging with colorful epic synthy melodies and gated voices to deliver the ultimate a state of trance moment that will be tough to forget. #PureGold Love IT[/content]
