Today marks 10 years since this fantastic collaboration of some of the biggest names in music was revealed to the world. ‘Gold Skies’ brought together the already well established and experienced Sander Van Doorn with two huge new emerging names in Martin Garrix and DVBBS. This mesh of talent created a truly beautiful song that stood out in a year of other big electronic music anthems such as ‘Tsunami (Jump)’ by DVBBS and Borgeous, ‘Gecko (Overdrive)’ by Oliver Heldens and many more.
‘Gold Skies’ remains one of Sander Van Doorn’s most successful tracks and also continued to drive Martin Garrix and DVBBS forwards in their rise to the top of the electronic music world. Both of them would follow up ‘Gold Skies’ with iconic anthems in ‘Pyramids’ from DVBBS and ‘Turn Up The Speakers’ from Martin Garrix. ‘Gold Skies’ has remained a fan favourite especially amidst Martin Garrix fans with it still being a song regularly played during his live shows whether it be the whole song or just the wonderful vocals of Aleesia.
This song fast became one of the biggest summer anthems of 2014 and 10 years on from that, with festival season ramping up, will be a song still welcomed with cheers by fans. ‘Gold Skies’ absolutely played a big role in getting all the artists involved to the level that they’re at today and marks a fantastic coming to together of legends of music. This song not only made the artists icons of music but became an icon in itself that year in year out gets millions of people belting out “We will forever be faded under gold skies.”
