By the age of 18, he had become a mainstay in London’s club scene, spinning a mix of reggae, soul, disco, and jazz-funk, laying the groundwork for his future successes. As pirate radio gained popularity in the late 1970s and early 1980s, Graham secured several residencies, further enhancing his influence on the underground music scene.

Esta La Musica 566 opens with Jon Towell’s Running Man in the remix by Larrosa, Nico Sparvieri & Sack, an atmospheric progressive house piece. Dubfire’s Roadkill, reimagined by Meduza & Essentia, follows with a fusion of progressive and melodic techno drive. Rafael Cerato & Aves Volar’s Journey To The Stars continues the cosmic progressive theme before Marco Carola & Loco Dice’s High Rolla switches into rolling tech house grooves.

The set grows more underground with Mati Astroza’s Over The Top and Max Dean, Luke Dean & Locky’s Can’t Decide, both injecting punchy basslines and stripped-back rhythms. Easttown’s En Route sustains the hypnotic momentum, while Marvin Sykes’ Liquid Soul adds a vocal-led progressive house lift. Stone Van Brooken’s Self Conflict bridges into melodic house & techno, blending emotional synths with rhythmic edge.

The energy intensifies with Wailey’s remix of Che Jose’s Takutu and Joe Fisher & Wailey’s Upstream, two raw, hypnotic techno cuts. Buogo’s Ouro Preto brings percussive tech house pressure, setting the stage for Melgazzo’s The Key in Wehbba’s remix, which explodes with peak-time techno energy.

Closing on a high, Alan Fitzpatrick, Frank Farrell & Rion S deliver Addict, a rave-inspired techno anthem, before Armin van Buuren & Adam Beyer’s Techno Trance merges trance euphoria with driving techno weight. Esta La Musica 566 captures Graham Gold’s mastery of flow, uniting tech house, progressive house, melodic house & techno, and peak-time techno into a powerful two-hour session.
