DJ Graham Gold unveils Esta La Musica episode 598, broadcast on Scientific Sound Asia, the international electronic music news platform, DJ agency and promoter connecting listeners across Asia and worldwide with underground electronic sounds.


A celebrated British DJ with more than four decades behind the decks, Graham Gold remains one of the most recognisable figures in electronic music. Known for his technical precision, infectious energy and deep musical knowledge, he continues to engage audiences through a sound that blends house, progressive house, melodic techno and deep tech.


His longevity reflects both adaptability and a consistent understanding of dancefloor dynamics across generations. Ranked in DJ Magazine’s Top 100 DJs for eight consecutive years, Graham’s influence on global club culture is significant.


His breakthrough came through London’s renowned Peach club nights and his long-running residency on Kiss 100 FM, where his radio shows reached international audiences and helped define an important period in electronic music broadcasting. Before achieving global recognition, Graham built his reputation across London’s underground during the 1970s and 1980s, including a decade-long residency at Gulliver’s Club in Mayfair.


His early passion for Afrocentric rhythms led to the creation of The Funky Road Show, a mobile disco concept that introduced reggae, soul, disco and jazz-funk to dancefloors across the city. During this time, he was also active on pirate radio before later joining Capital FM, where he received the Broadcaster of the Year award in 1985.

These foundations supported a career that expanded internationally, taking him to more than 150 cities across over 40 countries. His appearances have included major global events such as Glastonbury Festival, Gatecrasher, God's Kitchen and Street Parade. Alongside his touring work, he has sold more than 700,000 compilation albums, earning six Gold and four Silver BPI certifications, further underlining his impact on the global scene.


As a producer, broadcaster and tastemaker, Graham Gold continues to support both established and emerging artists through Esta La Musica. The show’s name, inspired by a tattoo he received during a tour in the United States in the 1990s, reflects a long-standing connection to music, rhythm and club culture. His broadcasts maintain a balance between classic influences and contemporary selections, reinforcing his relevance within the modern landscape.


Now based in Thailand, Graham remains closely connected to the regional electronic music scene, performing regularly in cities such as Bangkok, Pattaya and Koh Phangan. His appearance at Retro Mountain in early 2025 reaffirmed his ongoing relationship with audiences across Asia, demonstrating a continued presence that bridges established legacy with current underground activity.


Matan Caspi’s Life Is A Paradox begins the episode with a measured Progressive House framework before Essen K introduces Organic House through Oranea. The Kay-D remix of Frand and Esh’s Psico Noise returns the selection to Progressive House with a firmer rhythmic structure.


Dez follows with Closure, while Michael A’s Subtract develops the middle section with a restrained melodic focus. INNER.ofc and Nico Muñoz, Fordal and Morphday extend that Progressive House sequence through Mindset, the Dowden remix of Glader and Morph.


Alcatraz’s Giv Me Luv receives a Sebastien Leger remix that brings Organic House back into the mix before Stanny Abram and Mikel Wonic shift towards Tech House with Balearic Sunset. Lume Haus then moves into Melodic House and Techno through Solid Line, adding a more pronounced melodic layer.


Kryder’s Ewissa introduces a Dance / Pop variation before Xoro and James Hurr move into Trance with Reload. Rinzen’s extended remix of Deadmau5’s Not Exactly closes an episode built primarily around Progressive House, with Organic House, melodic material and a late Trance shift adding contrast.


Don’t miss this amazing live show on Saturday, June 13th, 2026, from 8 PM to 10 PM Indochina Time (ICT), with a replay available on Wednesday from 8 AM to 10 AM (ICT).
