Graham Gold has made public the playlist for this edition of Esta La Musica on Scientific Sound Asia, originally aired on Saturday 30 May 2020. Scientific Sound Asia operates as an English-language Asian electronic music radio station, promoter, DJ agency and music news outlet.
Esta La Musica takes its name from a tattoo Graham received while DJing in Los Angeles in the late 1990s. After leaving Kiss 100 and relocating to Southeast Asia, he used the phrase for a weekly show focused on Techno, House Music and related electronic styles.
Graham’s early London club years included a ten-year residency at Gulliver’s Club in Mayfair. Playing six nights a week gave him a strong foundation in reading dancefloors before his profile expanded through radio, club brands and international bookings.
His route into music began as a teenager in West London, where his interest in Afrocentric music led him to co-found The Funky Road Show. The mobile disco became a recognised name in the area and gave him an early platform for regular DJ work.

By the age of 18, Graham was playing Black music five nights a week across the capital. His selections moved through Reggae, Soul, Disco and Jazz Funk, giving him a broad musical base before his later work in House, Trance and Techno.
During the 1980s, Graham worked across several London pirate radio stations and later joined the Radio London Soul Night Out team. His Saturday-night Soul programme on Capital FM earned him the station’s Broadcaster of the Year award in 1985.
Graham was involved with Kiss FM London from its early period, and his later Kiss 100 broadcasts became a major part of his international profile. The Peach club brand added another important London platform, linking his radio work with club audiences and touring opportunities.
He spent eight consecutive years in DJ Magazine’s Top 100 DJs poll and was later listed by Dash among its most popular DJs in the world of all time. That recognition sits alongside a career that has moved through specialist radio, club residencies, festival stages and South East Asian electronic music activity.
Graham continues to perform across Asia and internationally while keeping Esta La Musica active as a weekly platform. The show presents House and Techno with promos 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 his Facebook, Instagram, Mixcloud, SoundCloud, Beatport and Resident Advisor. This May 2020 edition documents his radio work through a programme shaped by club history, broadcasting and current electronic music selection.
