Graham Gold returns with another edition of 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 underground electronic music audiences across Asia and internationally.


With a career spanning more than four decades, Graham Gold is one of the most established names in electronic music broadcasting and club culture. His background runs from London pirate radio and Capital FM through to Kiss 100, where he became closely associated with Progressive House, Trance and underground dance music.


During his time at Kiss 100, Graham helped shape the sound of Progressive House and Trance radio throughout the 1990s and early 2000s. His Peach club nights also placed him at the centre of London’s club scene, with later reunion events in London and Ibiza keeping the brand connected to its long-standing audience.


Before gaining wider recognition, Graham built his reputation across London nightlife through residencies including Gulliver’s Club in Mayfair and regular appearances on pirate radio stations across the capital. Those early years exposed him to Soul, Disco, Reggae, Jazz-Funk and emerging electronic sounds, influences that still appear across his DJ sets and studio work.

Now based in Thailand, Graham is closely connected to South East Asia’s underground electronic music scene. His appearances across Koh Phangan, Phuket, Pattaya and Koh Samui link beach gatherings, club nights and festival settings with the international audience he reaches through radio and online platforms.


His mixes and radio archive can be followed through Mixcloud, while updates are available through Facebook and Instagram. Further music and DJ activity can also be found through his SoundCloud and Resident Advisor profiles.


Graham’s recent studio work has leaned into melodic and progressive underground club music. The Lost City on Patent Skillz brings together rolling basslines, detailed synth layers and melodic house structures, with remixes by Tomy Wahl and DJ Lion & Just Julien adding darker, groove-focused versions.


His production catalogue on Beatport also includes Ballroom Records releases such as Uncanny Parallels, Postponed and Manipulation with Jourdan Bordes. These tracks place hypnotic melodic arrangements alongside Progressive House, Melodic House and Techno influences while keeping a clear underground club focus.


At the same time, Graham stays connected to the uplifting Trance sound that helped build his international profile. Tracks such as Glorified, Living In The Now and the Manuel Le Saux remix of Moving On show another side of his catalogue, combining euphoric melodic ideas with modern production.


Through Esta La Musica, Graham Gold presents Deep House, Progressive House, Melodic House and Techno, Tech House and Trance with the experience of a long-running broadcaster and club DJ. Each edition connects his musical history with current underground electronic music, giving the show a broad but focused identity.


DJ Graham Gold presents Esta La Musica 399 with a selection moving through Tech House, Progressive House, Melodic House and Techno, Deep House and Minimal Tech. Sailor & I open with The Life That Kills You in the Ruede Hagelstein remix, placing the show inside Melodic House and Techno through its Metaphysical and Beatport genre context.


Peter Dundov’s Intiwatana follows on Sudbeat, moving the programme into Progressive House through the label’s melodic and progressive identity. Joone and Victor C then continue that direction with Distance (5AM), adding a deeper and more atmospheric early passage.


Luke Alessi and Stereo MC’s bring Matter into the mix on Mobilee, returning the set to Melodic House and Techno with a confirmed Beatport listing. Swales then shifts into Deep House with The Night in the Josh Butler remix, giving the opening section a warmer club groove.


Lutzenhouse’s Bad Boy Berlin moves the programme towards Tech House, tightening the rhythm after the deeper opening. The Checkup’s I’ll Let You In in the Wyatt Marshall remix and Vales’ You Turn Me On then keep the middle section rolling through stripped, groove-led club material.


Ricardo Delgado’s Icebreaker appears in the Graham Gold remix, bringing the show back towards Progressive House with a melodic and tension-led structure. Graham Gold’s own Jazz Funk follows in the Martin Sharp remix, adding a Funky House turn through Jeepers and its jazz-influenced club feel.


Sidney Charles’ Basic Instinct introduces Minimal Tech through its Eastenderz release and Beatport listing. Ivan Pica then returns to Tech House with Everybody, bringing Freakin 909 into the late middle of the episode.


Samuele Scelfo and Rulers continue the Tech House section with X-Ray on Snatch!, supported by its documented genre listing. Tomy Wahl and Darkside Vinyl then shift the mix back towards Melodic House and Techno with Plastic Face in the Amir Telem remix, drawing from Mau House’s melodic, deep and progressive release context.


Andrew Fontana closes Esta La Musica 399 with Break in the Matteo Vitanza remix, ending the show on a Tech House selection. DJ Graham Gold’s episode links Progressive House, Melodic House and Techno, Deep House, Funky House and Minimal Tech through a club-focused sequence with a steady rise in rhythm.
