As a child he has a dream, a dream to be a musician.
In the mystical realm of pulsating beats and cosmic melodies, there emerged a trance prodigy destined for greatness – none other than Ben van Gosh. Born into a family where music flowed through their veins, Ben’s journey from a child dreamer to a trance wizard is a tale as groovy as the basslines in his tracks.
In the Gosh household, melodies weren’t just hummed; they were blown into existence by Ben’s vater, who wielded a hair comb like a maestro’s wand. The air would resonate with tunes that seemed to serenade the very molecules of existence. Meanwhile, Ben’s mother was a rhythm sorceress, conjuring beats with nothing more than wood cooking spoons on the kitchen table. The family home was a cacophony of joyous sounds, a trance haven in the making.
In the year 2020, armed with a Mac Book from the groovy era of 1976, Ben van Gosh embarked on a sonic adventure. His first two trance enchantments, “Feel Free” and “Expoplanet,” were unleashed upon the world through the portals of Interflow Records. The trance community, unable to resist the magnetic pull of his beats, quickly anointed him as the new kid on the celestial block.
Not content with just conquering the airwaves, Ben launched the legendary “Kitchen Trance Club” radio podcast. It was a musical feast for the ears, where beats and recipes collided in a cosmic culinary symphony. Rumor has it that listeners couldn’t decide if they were dancing or cooking up a storm in their kitchens.
But the pièce de résistance came with “A New Hope,” a trance anthem inspired by the timeless saga of “The NeverEnding Story.” The track didn’t just hit the German Dance Charts; it bulldozed its way to the number one spot, leaving listeners in a state of euphoric trance.
Remix requests poured in like confetti, with Ben sprinkling his magic on tracks by the likes of Mauro Picotto, Kosmonova, Pulsedriver, BEAM, Yoshi&Razner, Magnettor, TranceEye, Alex Mazel, and a legion of others. His remixes were like musical alchemy, turning ordinary tunes into gold.
He released his songs on the magical labels like: ZYX Music, ZYX Trance, Blackhole Recordings, In Trance We Trust, Nocturnal Knights Music, Grotesque Records, Interplay Records, Future Sequence, State Soundscape and many others.
And so, the legend of Ben van Gosh unfolded, a tale of beats, dreams, and kitchen table percussion. As his music echoed through time and space, the trance community couldn’t help but be swept away on a cosmic dancefloor, grooving to the tunes of a hair-comb wielding, wood-spoon drumming, trance maestro extraordinaire.
Anyway, I am looking forward to the next trance magician: Ben van Gosh
