Graham Goldhas announced the tracklist for this edition of Esta La Musica onScientific Sound Asia, originally aired on Saturday 1 February 2020. Scientific Sound Asia operates as an English-language Asian electronic musicradio station,DJ agency, promoter andmusic newsoutlet.
Esta La Musica takes its name from a tattoo Graham received on his right arm while performing in Los Angeles in the late 1990s. After leaving Kiss 100 and relocating to Southeast Asia, he used the phrase for a radio platform focused on Techno, House Music and related electronic styles.
Graham’s career moves through several distinct phases of British club and radio culture. Before his international profile grew through Kiss 100 and Peach, he had already built a strong reputation through residencies, specialist programming and years of regular DJ work in London.
His early musical background began in West London, where his interest in Afrocentric music led him to co-found The Funky Road Show as a teenager. By the age of 18, he was playing Black music five nights a week, working across Reggae, Soul, Disco and Jazz Funk before his later move into electronic music.
From 1980 to 1990, Graham held a six-nights-a-week residency at Gulliver’s Club in Mayfair. That decade of club work gave him a deep understanding of dancefloors and helped build the foundation for his later broadcasting and international bookings.
During the 1980s, he also worked across London pirate radio before joining the Radio London Soul Night Out team. His Saturday-night Soul programme on Capital FM earned him the station’s Broadcaster of the Year award in 1985.
Graham was involved with Kiss FM London from its early period, and his later Kiss 100 broadcasts became central to his international profile. The Peach club brand added a major London platform to that radio work, connecting his name with club audiences beyond the UK.
He spent eight consecutive years in DJ Magazine’s Top 100 DJs poll and was also listed by Dash among its most popular DJs in the world of all time. His wider career has taken him through clubs, festivals, radio networks and electronic music communities across Asia and internationally.
Now based in Thailand, Graham continues to perform regularly while keeping Esta La Musica active as a weekly show. The programme presents House and Techno with promos from labels and artists across Deep House, Progressive House, Melodic House and Techno, Tech House, Deep Tech, Organic House and Techno.
