Graham Gold, previously featured in DJ Magazine's Top 100 list, has unveiled the playlist for episode 533 of 'Esta La Musica'. Scientific Sound Asia operates as an Asian DJ agency, promoter, and electronic dance music genre station, appealing to audiences both locally and globally.
Graham Gold, a renowned British DJ, is celebrated globally for his musical prowess. For over forty years, he has consistently amazed club-goers, engaged audiences, and maintained regular performances around the world, establishing his status as a leading figure in today's music scene.
Although Graham has had many successful projects throughout his career, he is best known globally for his club night 'Peach' in London and his regular show on the famous Kiss 100 FM in the city. He started his weekly podcast after leaving Kiss 100 FM and getting a tattoo during his tour of the United States in the late nineties.
Named after the tattoo on his arm, 'Esta La Musica' swiftly became a beloved choice for electronic music enthusiasts worldwide, earning acclaim among music lovers across the globe. The program takes its audience on a journey through diverse sub-genres such as tech house, progressive house, and techno, offering captivating and thrilling sounds that keep listeners eagerly anticipating each new episode.
In the early days of his DJ career, he maintained a ten-year residency at Gulliver's Club in Mayfair, London, performing six nights a week. His enthusiasm for Afrocentric music and his DJing skills led him to team up with his friend Duncan Uren to establish 'The Funky Road Show,' a mobile disco located in London's West End.

By the age of 18, Graham was already DJing black music at several nightclubs in London. As the 1980s neared, he landed several DJ residencies on pirate radio stations, where he featured a blend of genres including Reggae, Soul, Disco, and Jazz Funk.
After receiving numerous positive reviews and experiencing sold-out performances, he joined the Radio London Soul Night Out Crew and started hosting a weekly Saturday night show on Capital FM in London. In 1985, he was honoured with the Broadcaster of the Year award. Although he was already well-regarded in the U.K., his tenure at Kiss 100 FM in London catapulted him to international fame.
He is acknowledged as the primary catalyst for the station's success, earning widespread recognition by being highlighted in the spotlight of the DJ Magazine Top 100 for eight straight years. Graham's remarkable talent has enabled him to showcase his skills in 150 cities across 40 countries worldwide.
By partnering with leading brands and performing at prestigious festivals such as Glastonbury, Gatecrasher, God's Kitchen, and The Street Parade in Zurich, Switzerland, he has built a substantial international fan base. Graham's abilities as a DJ have drawn a worldwide audience, highlighting his talent at numerous events around the world.
With music released on several prestigious international labels, he has sold more than 700,000 albums across various editions, including 6 BPI Certified Gold and 4 Silver albums. After his European tour, Graham returned to Thailand, setting up bases in Bangkok, Pattaya, and the stunning Koh Phangan, where he has been entertaining audiences at the famous Full Moon Party.
The famous DJ is beginning to gain recognition in the area and is anticipated to introduce a new energy to the electronic music scene in Southeast Asia. Graham's weekly radio program highlights high-quality House and Techno music, covering a range of sub-genres such as Deep House, Melodic Techno, Progressive House, Melodic House, Techno, and Deep Tech, featuring promotional tracks from record labels and producers.
The mix begins with David Ramano’s The Journey of Love on When Stars Align, an elegant Progressive House cut filled with warm pads and subtle tension. Anton Make’s Catollopa in the HAFT Remix pushes the sound further, blending Progressive House with Organic House elements and a lush melodic build. Cocho & Emilie Rachel’s Sign on Days Like Nights continues the journey, pairing hypnotic beats with emotive vocals, while Deep Dish’s Say Hello in a Peak Remix on Armada revives a timeless classic, refreshed for a modern crowd.
Lauren Mia’s Halcyon on Armada Electronic Elements injects Melodic House & Techno textures with soaring synths, while Goom Gum’s Staccato on Watergate reinforces the driving energy with intricate layering and hypnotic repetition. Jesabel’s Rhythm Finder and J Ribbon’s Emanating, both released on Consequence of Society, keep the Progressive House pulse steady with tight grooves and atmospheric flourishes. BT’s legendary Flaming June appears in Ricardo Egarado’s remix, offering a Progressive Trance peak-time rework of one of dance music’s most iconic tracks.
The set develops with Adam Sellouk & Paradoks’ Internal on Impressum, a crossover of Progressive House and Melodic House & Techno, weaving tension into its layered structure. Alka’s Mindwaves on Exx Muzik introduces a techier edge with a Tech House drive, before Depeche Mode’s Enjoy The Silence reimagined in a Deep in the Love re-edit, shifting back to Progressive House territory. Daft Punk’s Around The World appears in Daari’s unofficial remix, bridging House and Indie Dance for a playful, groove-heavy detour.
The final stretch leans heavily into big-room melodic power. Vintage Culture, Fancy Inc., and Meca’s Electricity on Not Too Fancy charges forward with Melodic House & Techno energy, before Rayo’s This Is Power on Vassnova lifts the Progressive House aesthetic to an anthemic high. The episode closes with Moonphazes’ Amsterdam on Errorr, a Progressive House track brimming with emotion, tying the journey together with a balance of drive and depth.
