Graham Gold publishes playlist for 'Esta La Musica' 387.

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, Asian 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, reflecting his lifelong connection to music, radio and dancefloor culture. He first gained international recognition through his influential broadcasts on London’s Kiss 100 FM, where his weekly programmes became closely linked to the rise of electronic music culture throughout the 1990s and early 2000s.

Alongside his radio work, Graham remains strongly associated with the legendary Peach club nights in London, helping shape the sound of progressive house and trance during one of the defining eras of UK club culture. After relocating to Southeast Asia, he launched Esta La Musica, continuing his commitment to underground electronic music while building lasting connections with audiences across Asia and beyond.

Before his global breakthrough, Graham Gold established himself within London nightlife through a decade-long residency at Gulliver’s Club in Mayfair, performing six nights each week. His passion for Afrocentric rhythms also inspired the creation of The Funky Road Show alongside Duncan Uren, a mobile disco concept that became widely recognised across London’s West End during the 1970s.

By the age of eighteen, Graham was already performing black music regularly across London while becoming active on pirate radio before later joining Capital FM. There, he hosted a weekly soul programme and received the Broadcaster of the Year award in 1985.

His later work with Kiss FM elevated his profile internationally, leading to eight consecutive appearances in DJ Magazine’s Top 100 DJs poll and establishing him as one of electronic music radio broadcasting’s most recognisable names. Alongside his radio and touring schedule, Graham continues to expand his studio catalogue across Deep House, Progressive House, Melodic House & Techno and Trance.

His collaboration with Kollen, French Horn on Moon Island Records, explores a warm Deep House direction built around flowing grooves, melodic detail and understated rhythm. The release’s inclusion on the Aeonian Vol. 2 compilation further reflects continued underground support for his productions.

His collaborative work with Samotarev on Asymmetric Recordings also remains an important part of his evolving sound. Tracks such as Rising and Blue Camels blend Progressive House structures with cinematic melodic atmospheres, while the DJ Zombi & Maydan remix of Rising moves deeper into Melodic House & Techno territory through layered textures and controlled progression.

These releases highlight Graham’s continued movement into deeper and more melodic electronic styles while maintaining strong dancefloor foundations. This direction continues through his releases on Ballroom Records.

Tracks including Uncanny Parallels and Postponed focus on hypnotic grooves, atmospheric melodies and darker melodic structures. His collaboration with Jourdan Bordes on Manipulation introduces a more driving club energy while retaining the detailed melodic character that defines much of his more recent studio output.

At the same time, Graham maintains 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 revisit the euphoric melodic approach that helped establish his international reputation, while updating the sound through more contemporary production techniques and arrangement styles.

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

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

Through Esta La Musica, Graham Gold continues to present a broad spectrum of underground electronic music, combining decades of experience with current studio projects and carefully curated selections that move fluidly between Deep House, Progressive House, Melodic House & Techno, Tech House and Trance.

Esta La Musica 387 by DJ Graham Gold opens with Hiwstre’s 8083 in the Following Light remix, introducing an atmospheric Electronica tone before Tone Depth and Tale Of Us alongside Fideles guide the mix into Melodic House and Techno territory through Terra and Vanishing. The early section establishes a deep and cinematic atmosphere.

Golan Zocher and Choopie shift the groove toward Progressive House with Sayanora in the Analog Jungs remix, while Cicchino and Laladee return the set to melodic territory with Surrender. John 00 Fleming introduces a deeper Trance influence through The Explorer, adding another layer to the underground progression.

The middle section develops through Matador’s Vulture and Andrea Oliva’s Rawman, maintaining a driving Melodic House and Techno structure. AFFKT follows with Fanfarra in the Damon Jee remix, bringing Indie Dance textures and darker rhythmic elements into the mix.

A more accessible crossover moment arrives with London Grammar’s Lose Your Head in the CamelPhat remix, balancing Dance Music and melodic club influences. Cristoph, Franky Wah and Artche restore the Progressive House direction with The World You See, maintaining a smooth and layered flow.

The closing stretch moves into tighter club grooves through Don’t Blink’s Vibration and Paolo Martini’s Electric Soul, where Dance and Tech House elements dominate. Eskuche continues this direction with Believe before Fuenka rounds off the session with Vega, closing the set with a melodic Progressive House finish.
