Graham Gold publishes playlist for 'Esta La Musica' 379.

Graham Gold has unveiled the playlist for the latest 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 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, radio and dancefloor culture. He first rose to international prominence through his influential broadcasts on London’s Kiss 100 FM, where his weekly shows became a defining part of the station’s electronic music identity during the rise of global dance culture.

Alongside his radio success, Graham became closely 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 Esta La Musica, continuing his focus on underground electronic music while building strong connections with audiences across Asia and beyond.

Before becoming an internationally recognised DJ, Graham Gold established himself through London’s nightlife scene with a decade-long residency at Gulliver’s Club in Mayfair, performing six nights a week. His early passion for Afrocentric music also inspired the creation of The Funky Road Show alongside Duncan Uren, a mobile disco brand that became widely recognised throughout London’s West End during the 1970s.

By the age of eighteen, Graham was already performing black music regularly across the UK capital, later becoming active on pirate radio before joining Capital FM, where he hosted a weekly soul programme and received the Broadcaster of the Year award in 1985. His work with Kiss FM later 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 most recognisable names in electronic music broadcasting.

At the time of this episode, Graham remained active in the studio with releases spanning Deep House, Progressive House, Melodic House & Techno and Trance. His collaboration with Kollen, French Horn on Moon Island Records, highlighted a warmer Deep House direction built around melodic textures and groove-led rhythms. The track’s inclusion on the Aeonian Vol. 2 compilation further reflected continued support within the underground scene.

His collaborative work with Samotarev also continued gaining attention through releases on Asymmetric Recordings. Rising and Blue Camels explored Progressive House and melodic club structures, while the DJ Zombi & Maydan remix of Rising leaned further into Melodic House & Techno with cinematic atmosphere and controlled progression. These productions reflected Graham’s continued evolution beyond the trance sound most associated with his earlier years.

At the same time, he maintained strong ties to uplifting trance through releases on Discover Records. Tracks such as Glorified, Living In The Now and the Manuel Le Saux remix of Moving On revisited the melodic and euphoric elements that helped define his international reputation during the peak trance era, while updating them with more contemporary production techniques.

Through Esta La Musica, Graham Gold continued to present a broad spectrum of underground electronic sounds, combining decades of experience with ongoing studio work and carefully curated selections that moved fluidly between Deep House, Progressive House, Melodic House & Techno, Tech House and Trance.

The set opens with Parsifal and Dorian Craft’s Horizons in the Rony Seikaly remix, establishing a melodic and atmospheric tone. Deomid follows with Bubble, introducing an Indie Dance groove before Township Rebellion deepens the melodic direction through Mosaik.

Audioglider shifts the energy with Neptunes Metronome, bringing an Electro House edge before Yotto’s Observer restores the flowing Melodic House and Techno structure. Josef K introduces a deeper groove with Stream Of Arposciousness, adding a warm Deep House layer to the mix.

Afro influences emerge through Kintar, Medusa Odyssey and Bahramji’s Cumbe in the Cuzco remix, while Mirida’s Colors continues the melodic progression with a darker edge. Marc Depulse and Rafael Cerato, alongside Dino Lenny, maintain the Indie Dance energy through Capulet and You Little Punk.

The middle section develops through Darkside Vinyl and Balata’s Kolo, blending Afro House rhythms with underground textures. Cristoph’s SFB pushes the set back toward melodic territory, maintaining a steady club-focused flow.

A change in atmosphere arrives with Cordetta’s Wonderland, introducing Hypnotic Trance elements before Kakoon’s Chakra returns the mix to Melodic House and Techno. The session closes with Lewis’ Answering Machine in the Tim Taste remix, bringing a peak-time techno finish.

Across the full mix, DJ Graham Gold blends melodic, Afro and Indie Dance influences into a cohesive underground journey with steady progression and varied textures throughout.
