DJ Graham Gold publishes the playlist for 'Esta La Musica' 568.

Graham Gold has revealed the playlist for episode 568 of Esta La Musica. Broadcast on Scientific Sound Asia, the show forms part of the station’s commitment as a DJ agency, promoter, and electronic music broadcaster, connecting audiences across Asia and beyond with the finest underground sounds.

An internationally acclaimed British DJ, Graham Gold has been a defining figure in electronic music for more than forty years. Renowned for his talent, energy, and influence, he has performed worldwide, captivating audiences with his vibrant sets and distinctive musical vision.

Ranked in DJ Magazine’s Top 100 DJs for eight consecutive years, Graham is recognised as a trailblazer whose impact on the genre remains profound. His career first reached international attention through London’s legendary club night Peach, a cornerstone of the city’s nightlife, and his residency at Kiss 100 FM, which brought him to global prominence.

His sound, fusing house, progressive house, melodic techno, and deep tech, has continued to evolve while retaining its unmistakable character. Graham’s story began with a decade-long residency at Gulliver’s Club in Mayfair, where he honed his craft six nights a week.

His passion for Afrocentric grooves led to The Funky Road Show, a mobile disco that introduced diverse sounds to London’s underground. By the age of 18, he was a fixture in the city’s club culture, spinning reggae, soul, disco, and jazz-funk, before pirate radio residencies in the late 1970s and early 1980s expanded his influence further.

Mainstream recognition soon followed through his involvement with the Radio London Soul Night Out Crew, leading to a Saturday residency on Capital FM and his Broadcaster of the Year award in 1985. His Kiss 100 FM tenure confirmed him as one of the UK’s most influential DJs, while appearances at Glastonbury, Gatecrasher, God’s Kitchen, and The Street Parade in Zurich showcased his global reach.

Graham has headlined events in over 150 cities across 40 countries and sold more than 700,000 albums, including six BPI Certified Gold and four Silver releases. As a producer, he has released on numerous international labels while continually supporting new artists through Esta La Musica, the show inspired by a tattoo he received while touring the U.S. in the 1990s.

Now based in Thailand, Graham is a fixture in Bangkok, Pattaya, and Koh Phangan, where he performs regularly, including at the iconic Full Moon Party. His recent set at Retro Mountain in January 2025 highlighted his enduring creativity and connection with the dancefloor.

With Esta La Musica episode 568, Graham Gold continues to honour his legacy while pushing forward, offering carefully curated selections of house, deep house, progressive house, melodic techno, and deep tech. His dedication to music and ability to inspire audiences worldwide ensure his influence remains as strong as ever.

The show opens with I Didn’t Know My Name by Fabrice Dayan featuring Jerome Hadley, setting an emotive tone through indie dance. The mood continues with The Organism’s Delight and the Oddity remix of ID, both steeped in indie dance textures that merge hypnotic synth lines with driving grooves. Ronnie Spiteri’s Rise follows, introducing a house rhythm that balances warmth with club energy.

Progressive house emerges with Rafael Cerato featuring Aves Volar on Journey To The Stars in a remix by Timo Maas, building atmosphere with layered melodies. Anyma & Chris Avantgarde’s Quantum pushes the energy higher, marking one of several strong melodic house & techno cuts. This direction continues with Joe Fisher & Wailey’s Upstream and Blazonique’s Reborn, which blend melodic detail with precision-crafted beats.

Dance floor vibrancy arrives with Disciples’ They Don’t Know in a Pete Tong remix, injecting a classic yet modern feel. Padre Guilherme & Ebmath’s Adoramus then delivers a sweeping melodic house & techno presence with spiritual undertones. Che Jose’s Acidize brings indie dance back into focus, weaving acidic synth lines with club intensity.

The journey concludes with Jochem Hamerling’s Hardware Junction in a Milan Steenwinkel remix and Helang’s Don’t Depend, both carrying the melodic house & techno flag into the finale. These closing tracks lock into hypnotic grooves and atmospheric soundscapes, leaving listeners with a set that perfectly blends indie dance, house, progressive house, melodic house & techno, and dance into one cohesive flow.
