Graham Gold presents the next 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 for underground electronic music audiences across Asia and internationally.


Graham’s long career connects the development of UK club radio with wider international dance music culture. His early work on London pirate stations led into Capital FM and then Kiss 100, where his name became strongly associated with Progressive House, Trance and melodic underground music.


At Kiss 100, he became one of the voices linked to a major period in British electronic music broadcasting. Away from radio, Peach gave him a recognised club platform in London, with later reunion events in London and Ibiza keeping that history active.


Before his national radio years, Graham developed his musical identity through London residencies and underground radio activity. Gulliver’s Club in Mayfair and other early settings exposed him to Soul, Disco, Reggae, Jazz-Funk and the early electronic sounds that fed into his later sets.

Now based in Thailand, Graham remains active across South East Asia’s underground electronic music circuit. His appearances in Koh Phangan, Phuket, Pattaya and Koh Samui connect regional dancefloors with the international following built through his radio shows and online mixes.


His broadcast archive and DJ sets can be followed through Mixcloud, with updates available on Facebook and Instagram. Further music activity can be found through SoundCloud and Resident Advisor.


In recent years, Graham’s productions have moved through melodic, progressive and underground club territory. The Lost City on Patent Skillz combines rolling low-end movement, detailed synth layers and melodic structure, with Tomy Wahl and DJ Lion & Just Julien adding darker remix versions.


His Beatport catalogue also includes Ballroom Records tracks such as Uncanny Parallels, Postponed and Manipulation with Jourdan Bordes. These productions show his interest in hypnotic melodic phrases, controlled arrangement and a club-focused progressive sound.


The uplifting Trance influence that helped shape Graham’s wider reputation is still present in his work. Glorified, Living In The Now and the Manuel Le Saux remix of Moving On bring that melodic side into a contemporary production setting.


Esta La Musica draws these influences into a weekly format built around Deep House, Progressive House, Melodic House and Techno, Tech House and Trance. Each show connects Graham Gold’s radio history, club background and current selections through a sound rooted in underground electronic music.


DJ Graham Gold presents Esta La Musica 405 with a selection moving through Progressive House, Minimal Tech, Tech House, Melodic House and Techno and Deep House. Helmut Dubnitzky opens with Mieze Katze on BluFin, placing the episode inside Minimal Tech through a reduced and groove-led club structure.


Tonja Holma follows with All Night on Pryda Presents, moving the show into Progressive House through its confirmed Beatport listing. Neverdogs then bring Pallars on Moan, adding a Tech House entry shaped by the duo’s established house and techno background.


Mattias Coll’s Can You Feel It? introduces House Music through its Haliaeetus release context and wider electronic dance placement. Dimmish then moves the programme back into Minimal Tech with Make It Happen on Denser, matching the Italian producer’s profile in the underground minimal and tech house scene.


Sage Flip’s Depths 2 brings the set back towards Progressive House through MK837, adding a deeper and more melodic club passage. Sidney Charles follows with Avalon on Heavy House, returning the mix to Tech House through his label’s focus on solid and innovative house music.


S.One’s The Wind That Speaks To Me appears in the Binaryh remix, shifting the episode into Melodic House and Techno through Dear Deer’s melodic club setting. Ricky Plays then introduces Deep House with Restless on Audible, giving the late section a smoother contrast.


Dafinchi and Following Light’s Whistler restores the Progressive House line through Lincor, keeping the closing movement melodic and atmospheric. Jochem Hamerling’s Speculation then returns to Melodic House and Techno, supported by his own description of a sound between progressive house and melodic techno.


Sendlak closes Esta La Musica 405 with Dark Beauty on Leading Astray, ending the show on a Progressive House selection. DJ Graham Gold’s episode links Progressive House, Minimal Tech, Tech House, Melodic House and Techno and Deep House through a compact late-night structure.
