Graham Gold publishes playlist for 'Esta La Musica' 375.

Graham Gold has unveiled the playlist for his weekly programme Esta La Musica on Scientific Sound Asia. The platform operates as an Asian electronic music radio station, DJ agency and promoter, while also publishing music news and connecting audiences across the region and internationally.

The show takes its name from a tattoo Graham received in Los Angeles during the late 1990s, reflecting a lifelong connection to music and club culture. He first rose to international prominence through his influential broadcasts on London’s Kiss 100 FM, where his weekly shows became an important part of the station’s identity during the rise of global electronic dance music culture.

Alongside his radio work, Graham became widely associated with the legendary Peach club nights in London, helping shape the sound of progressive house and trance throughout the 1990s and early 2000s. Following his move to Southeast Asia, he launched a techno radio show Esta La Musica, continuing his focus on underground electronic music while developing a strong connection with audiences across the region.

Before his rise within electronic music, Graham established himself through London’s club circuit with a decade-long residency at Gulliver’s Club in Mayfair, performing six nights a week. His early passion for Afrocentric music also led to the creation of The Funky Road Show alongside Duncan Uren, a mobile disco that became well known across London’s West End during the 1970s.

By the age of eighteen, Graham was already performing black music regularly throughout London, leading to appearances on pirate radio stations and later Capital FM, where he hosted a weekly soul programme and received the Broadcaster of the Year award in 1985. His later work with Kiss FM cemented his international reputation, contributing to eight consecutive appearances in DJ Magazine’s Top 100 DJs poll.

At the time of this episode, Graham was also actively developing his own productions and collaborations across Progressive House, Deep House, Melodic House & Techno and Trance. Releases such as Cat With 2 Lives and Staying Home on Krafted Underground reflected his deeper progressive direction, while collaborations with Samotarev on Rising and Blue Camels for Asymmetric Recordings combined melodic structure with atmospheric progressive grooves.

His output during this period also revisited his trance roots. Tracks including Living In The Now, Glorified and the Manuel Le Saux remix of Moving On on Discover Records reinforced his long-standing connection to uplifting and melodic trance music, while French Horn with Kollen on Moon Island Records explored a warmer Deep House approach. These releases reflected the broad stylistic range that continued to shape both his productions and DJ sets during this era.

Through Esta La Musica, Graham continued to bridge multiple strands of underground electronic music, moving between Progressive House, Deep House, Melodic House & Techno, Tech House and Trance with the experience of a DJ whose career spans several generations of dance music culture.

The set opens with Ali Maher and Dylan Deck’s Past Motion in the Ed Steele remix, setting a deep Progressive House tone before Tim French continues the flow through Short Stuff in the Nila remix. Lopezhouse introduces an Indie Dance groove with Sunburst, adding warmth and movement early in the mix.

Ruben Karapetyan’s Gignesthai in the Emi Galvan remix returns the session toward Progressive House, while Jiggler’s Tesla introduces a melodic edge through Melodic House and Techno influences. Kommodo follows with Monstera, bringing a darker and more direct Techno atmosphere.

A shift in texture arrives with Slam Duck’s Weightless, introducing Deep Trance elements that expand the sonic palette. Einmusik and Stereo Express restore the Progressive House groove with Endurance, maintaining a smooth and layered progression.

The middle section continues with Dylan Deck and Christian Monique’s Oriente Express, where the Rafael Osmo remix reinforces the melodic Progressive structure. James Harcourt follows with Animal, maintaining a steady underground flow.

Energy increases through Peter Dundov and Gregor Tresher’s Ghostmashine, introducing a Peak Time Techno edge. Misfit’s Crescendoll continues this direction, adding driving rhythms and intensity to the later stages of the set.

The closing stretch is guided by Eli Spiral’s The Synergy Effect, bringing the session back toward Progressive House and rounding off a cohesive underground journey that balances melodic progression with deeper Techno influences.
