Graham Goldreleased the playlist for Esta La Musica 311 onScientific Sound Asia. Scientific Sound Asia operates as an Asian electronic musicradio station,DJ agency, promoter andmusic newsoutlet, connecting audiences across South East Asia and internationally.
The show takes its name from a tattoo Graham received on his right upper arm while DJing in Los Angeles in 1999. After leaving Kiss 100 and moving to South East Asia, he used the phrase for Esta La Musica as a new outlet for his Techno and House Music selections.
Graham first gained strong local recognition through his decade-long residency at Gulliver’s Club in Mayfair, where he played six nights a week from 1980 to 1990. Before that, his early passion for Afrocentric music led him to co-found The Funky Road Show, a mobile disco that became active in West London during the early 1970s.
By the age of 18, Graham was already playing Black music five nights a week across London. His selections during that period drew from Reggae, Soul, Disco and Jazz Funk, giving him a broad foundation before his later move into electronic music.
During the 1980s, Graham worked across several London pirate radio stations and became part of the Radio London Soul Night Out team. He later hosted a Saturday-night Soul programme on Capital FM, receiving the station’s Broadcaster of the Year award in 1985.
Graham was present during the early development of Kiss FM London, where his broadcasts helped bring his work to a wider audience. His Kiss 100 shows and Peach club nights became central to his international profile within club culture and specialist radio.
He spent eight consecutive years in the DJ Magazine Top 100 DJs poll. At the time of the original profile, Dash also listed him among its most popular DJs in the world of all time.
Graham continues to perform across Asia and internationally while keeping Esta La Musica active as a weekly radio platform. The show presents House and Techno with music from labels and artists across Deep House, Progressive House, Melodic House and Techno, Tech House, Deep Tech, Organic House and Techno.
