Graham Gold releases eclectic playlist for Esta La Musica 342

Graham Goldhas unveiled the playlist for a new edition of Esta La Musica onScientific Sound Asia. Scientific Sound Asia operates as an English-language Asian electronic musicradio station,DJ agency, promoter andmusic newsoutlet, serving audiences across Asia and internationally.

Esta La Musica takes its name from a tattoo Graham received on his right arm while DJing in Los Angeles in 1999. After leaving Kiss 100 and relocating to Southeast Asia, he used the phrase for a radio show centred on House, Techno, Melodic House and Progressive sounds.

Graham’s foundations as a DJ were built in London, where he held a decade-long residency at Gulliver’s Club in Mayfair. Playing six nights a week through much of the 1980s gave him direct experience with club audiences before his profile expanded through national radio and international touring.

His earlier route into music began in West London, where he co-founded The Funky Road Show as a teenager. Built around Afrocentric music, the mobile disco gave him an early platform before he moved through Reggae, Soul, Disco and Jazz Funk across London clubs and radio.

During the 1980s, Graham worked across pirate radio before joining the Radio London Soul Night Out team. He later hosted a Saturday-night Soul programme on Capital FM, receiving the station’s Broadcaster of the Year award in 1985.

Graham’s global profile grew through Kiss 100, where his weekly broadcasts reached listeners well beyond the United Kingdom. Alongside the Peach club brand, those shows helped establish him as one of the best-known British DJs of his generation.

He spent eight consecutive years in DJ Magazine’s Top 100 DJs poll, including five years in the Top 40 and two years at number 22. That recognition linked his radio work, club programming and international bookings during a major period of growth for electronic music.

Alongside DJing and broadcasting, Graham has released and curated mix albums that sold more than 700,000 copies. Those releases earned six BPI Gold and four Silver certifications, adding a significant recorded catalogue to his club and radio history.

He has also been involved with label activity through Koolworld, Peach and Good As. Good As released Mat Darey’s Liberation, which reached the UK Top 20 and connected Graham’s wider music-industry work with the commercial side of club music.

Now based in Asia, Graham continues to perform internationally while keeping Esta La Musica active as a regular platform. The show presents music from labels and artists across Deep House, Progressive House, Melodic House and Techno, Tech House, Deep Tech, Organic House and Techno.

Further updates, mixes and releases can be followed through hisFacebook,Instagram,Mixcloud,SoundCloud,BeatportandResident Advisor. Esta La Musica connects his current electronic music direction with a long career across radio, club culture, labels and international DJ performance.
