Graham Gold publishes playlist for 'Esta La Musica' 384.

Graham Gold has revealed 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 throughout the region and internationally.

The title Esta La Musica comes from a tattoo Graham received during a visit to Los Angeles in the late 1990s, symbolising his lifelong dedication to music, broadcasting and club culture. He first gained worldwide recognition through his influential shows on London’s Kiss 100 FM, where his weekly radio broadcasts became closely linked to the rapid rise of electronic music culture during the 1990s and early 2000s.

Alongside his radio career, Graham Gold became one of the defining figures behind the iconic Peach club nights in London, helping shape the progressive house and trance movement of that era. After relocating to Southeast Asia, he launched Esta La Musica, continuing his commitment to underground electronic music while developing strong connections with audiences across Asia and beyond.

Before achieving international success, Graham established himself within London’s nightlife circuit through a decade-long residency at Gulliver’s Club in Mayfair, performing six nights each week. His passion for Afrocentric rhythms also led to the creation of The Funky Road Show alongside Duncan Uren, a mobile disco concept 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 London, later becoming active on pirate radio before joining Capital FM. There, he hosted a weekly soul programme and received the Broadcaster of the Year award in 1985. His later involvement with Kiss FM elevated his profile internationally, resulting in eight consecutive appearances in DJ Magazine’s Top 100 DJs poll and cementing his reputation as one of electronic music broadcasting’s most recognisable names.

During this period, Graham also 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, showcased a warmer Deep House direction built around melodic textures, flowing grooves and understated rhythms. The track’s appearance on the Aeonian Vol. 2 compilation reflected the continued support his productions received within the underground scene.

His partnership with Samotarev on Asymmetric Recordings also gained further attention through releases such as Rising and Blue Camels. These productions explored melodic Progressive House structures and atmospheric club arrangements, while the DJ Zombi & Maydan remix of Rising pushed further into Melodic House & Techno territory with cinematic layers and gradual progression. Together, these releases highlighted Graham’s continued musical development beyond the trance sound most commonly associated with his earlier years.

At the same time, he maintained a strong connection to uplifting trance through releases on Discover Records. Tracks including Glorified, Living In The Now and the Manuel Le Saux remix of Moving On revisited the melodic and euphoric elements that defined his international breakthrough period, while updating them with a more contemporary production approach.

Peach remains one of the most influential club brands connected to Graham Gold’s career, originally helping define London’s trance and progressive house culture through legendary nights at Camden Palace during the 1990s. More recently, the brand has returned through reunion events in London and Ibiza, including sold-out gatherings at Ministry of Sound and Fabric, reconnecting long-time followers with the original Peach atmosphere while introducing the brand to newer audiences.

Now living in Thailand, Graham continues to maintain a strong presence within the country’s electronic music scene through regular appearances in Koh Phangan, Koh Samui, Phuket and Pattaya. Recent performances have included Retro Mountain, Waterfall Festival, Jungle Experience, Elephant Beach Club and Full Moon Party events, alongside beach and sunset sessions that reflect his enduring connection to underground dance culture across Southeast Asia.

Through Esta La Musica, Graham Gold continues to present a broad spectrum of underground electronic music, combining decades of experience with ongoing studio work and carefully selected programming that moves naturally between Deep House, Progressive House, Melodic House & Techno, Tech House and Trance.

Esta La Musica 384 opens with Tomy Wahl’s Hedra, establishing a melodic atmosphere before Circle Of Life and Choopie alongside Shmuel Flash guide the mix into Progressive House territory through Karadjordje and Chilling Moments. Tash-Shrii continues this direction with Kashmir, maintaining a smooth and flowing progression.

Dmtry Molosh deepens the atmosphere through Orchard in the Kasper Koman remix before Artbat, and Dino Lenny introduces a darker Melodic House and Techno edge with Fading. Boris Brejcha follows with Purple Noise in the Moritz Hofbauer remix, increasing intensity through a peak-time techno groove.

The middle section develops with Six (Hu) and Graham Gold’s own production, The Lost City, where melodic textures and driving rhythms remain central. Gordey Tsukanov restores the Progressive House flow with Significance, keeping the underground tone consistent.

A deeper shift arrives through David Scuba and Lubelski’s Broke, introducing a stripped-back Minimal and Deep Tech groove. Rob Gritton, alongside Mylee Wu, then adds a Tech House edge with Heartbreak 2021, creating variation before the closing stretch.

The session concludes with Graham Gold’s Uncanny Parallels, reinforcing the melodic direction before Dark Pulse’s Run in the Lemon8 and Zoyzi remix rounds off the mix with a Progressive House finish. Across the full set, the episode balances melodic, progressive and underground club sounds with a cohesive late-night atmosphere throughout.
