Graham Gold has unveiled the playlist for another edition of 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 operating as a music news outlet and connecting audiences across the region and internationally.
Named after a tattoo Graham received in Los Angeles during the late 1990s, Esta La Musica reflects his long-standing connection to club culture and electronic music. His international breakthrough came through his influential broadcasts on London’s Kiss 100 FM, where his weekly shows helped shape a generation of dance music listeners during the rise of global electronic culture.
Alongside his radio success, Graham Gold became closely associated with London’s iconic Peach club nights, playing an important role in the development of progressive house and trance throughout the 1990s and early 2000s. Following his relocation to Southeast Asia, he launched Esta La Musica, continuing to champion underground electronic music while building a dedicated audience across Asia and beyond.
Before becoming a recognised figure within electronic music, Graham built his reputation through London’s nightlife with a decade-long residency at Gulliver’s Club in Mayfair, performing six nights a week. His early musical background was rooted in Afrocentric sounds, soul, disco and jazz-funk, influences that later shaped the broad musical identity heard throughout his DJ sets and productions.

This period also saw him active on pirate radio 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 elevated him to worldwide recognition, leading to eight consecutive appearances in DJ Magazine’s Top 100 DJs poll and establishing him as one of the era’s most recognisable electronic music broadcasters.
At the time of this broadcast, Graham was continuing to balance online radio work with a steady stream of studio releases. His collaboration with Kollen, French Horn, remained active through Moon Island Records and its inclusion on the Aeonian Vol. 2 compilation, reflecting his ongoing exploration of groove-led Deep House with melodic warmth and understated progression.
His partnership with Samotarev also continued gaining momentum through the DJ Zombi & Maydan remix of Rising on Asymmetric Recordings. The release moved further into Melodic House & Techno territory, combining cinematic atmosphere, progressive flow and emotional melodic structure.
Alongside these deeper productions, Graham maintained a connection to the trance sound that helped define much of his earlier career. Releases such as Glorified and the Manuel Le Saux remix of Moving On on Discover Records continued to reflect uplifting melodic trance influences while adapting them to contemporary production standards.
Through Esta La Musica, Graham Gold continued to bridge multiple generations and styles of electronic music, combining Deep House, Progressive House, Melodic House & Techno and Trance within a format shaped by decades of international club and radio experience.
The set opens with Alfa State and Mystic District’s Chinook, introducing an Organic House atmosphere before Diego Miranda moves into Melodic House and Techno with Rame. Pablo Fierro follows with Reincarnation, bringing Afro House rhythms into the early section and establishing a warm, groove-led flow.
Avar Garden and Super Flu continue this direction with Oopart and Effetikon, balancing melodic and Afro influences while maintaining a steady underground energy. Branchie shifts the mix toward Tech House with Beyond in the Jeremy Bass remix, adding a tighter club groove.
The middle section develops through Darin Epsilon and Kenan Savrun, where Lusatia and Meliora move between melodic house and Progressive House textures. North South Project, alongside Sebastian Busto deepen the progression with Black Shadows and December, maintaining a smooth melodic structure.
D-Nox and Baya with Lenn V reinforce the Progressive House direction through Silence, while DJ Hepri introduces an Indie Dance element with Radical Audio-Visual Experience. Eddie Bitz continues the melodic progression with Mesmerica, keeping the flow consistent.
A shift in intensity arrives with Alberto Ruiz’s Inside in the Pierre Blanche remix, bringing a Peak Time Techno edge into the set. Tomy Wahl closes the session with Search Inside, returning to an Indie Dance groove and rounding off a balanced underground journey across multiple electronic styles.
