Ben Gold

Ben Gold is one of the most consistently working British uplifting producers of the past fifteen years. He came up through the Armada Music ecosystem in the late 2000s and broke through with a string of high-profile releases on A State of Trance, including "Distortion" (2010) and "Atlantis" (2012). His 2014 vocal collaboration with Christina Novelli, "All or Nothing", became one of the era's defining vocal-uplifting tracks and remains a peak-time staple at ASOT events. In 2014 he founded Goldrush Recordings, an Armada sub-label focused on melodic uplifting and vocal-led trance. The accompanying #GoldrushRadio show, currently past episode 600, has run continuously since launch and serves as the editorial home for the label's roster. Releases like "Hide Your Heart" with Eric Lumiere (2015), "The Difference Between Us" (2019), and the long-form Where Life Takes Us album (2017) have spread him across the full uplifting spectrum. Originally from London, Gold relocated to Amsterdam in the mid-2010s — a move that placed him at the centre of the Armada / A State of Trance studio ecosystem and accelerated his collaboration network. He has worked extensively with vocalists Christina Novelli, Eric Lumiere, Allen Watts, and Standerwick, and his role as a regular Armada Captures live performer has kept him on the festival circuit. His Spotify presence sits at roughly 270K monthly listeners, making him one of the more commercially visible uplifting-tier artists outside the absolute superstar bracket. For listeners following the post-2014 vocal-uplifting tradition, Ben Gold is one of its most reliable contributors.
