Graham Gold releases playlist for 'Esta La Musica' 355.

Graham Gold has released the playlist for this week’s edition of his long-running show Esta La Musica, airing this Saturday on Scientific Sound Asia. Scientific Sound Asia is the English-language underground electronic music station, promoter and DJ agency for the Asian region, reaching listeners across the world.

The title of Graham’s show comes from the tattoo he had etched on his right arm in Los Angeles in the late nineties. After leaving Kiss 100 and relocating to Thailand, Esta La Musica became the natural name for his new direction, a project that has since evolved into a respected global platform for House and Techno.

Graham’s foundations as a DJ were built in London, where he spent a decade holding down a six-night-a-week residency at Gulliver's in Mayfair. His journey began even earlier, when a passion for Afrocentric music led him to form the now-legendary Funky Road Show in the early seventies.

By the age of eighteen, he was playing black music across London five nights a week. This opened doors to residencies on pirate radio stations and a musical path that moved through Reggae, Soul, Disco and Jazz-Funk.

His status grew rapidly. Graham joined the Radio London Soul Night Out team and went on to host a Saturday night soul show on Capital FM, earning 'Broadcaster of the Year' in 1985. As part of Kiss FM from its earliest days, he became one of the station’s defining voices, with his shows pushing both Kiss and his own name onto the international stage. This period included eight consecutive years in the DJ Magazine Top 100 as well as recognition on Dash’s list of the “Most Popular DJs in the World of All Time.”

His career has taken him to more than 150 cities across 43 countries, performing at many of the world’s key festivals and brands, including Glastonbury, Homelands, Gatecrasher, Gods Kitchen, Passion, Slinky, Impulz, Earthdance, W.E.M.F., Summadayze and The Street Parade in Zurich. He also brought his charisma to television, presenting the clubbing show BPM on UK commercial TV and contributing on-site segments at WMC for MTV.

In the years since, Graham has remained consistently active. Now based in Asia, he continues to perform across the region while nurturing Esta La Musica, which today serves as his channel for showcasing new and emerging sounds. His recent episodes highlight cutting-edge promos from labels around the world alongside favourites from well-established producers. His current style focuses on a refined blend of Deep House, Progressive House, Melodic House and Techno, Tech House, Deep Tech, Organic House and Techno, reflecting his ongoing commitment to staying ahead of the curve while remaining true to his roots.

Graham maintains a dedicated global following and continues to bring his trademark energy to clubs, festivals and radio. Esta La Musica stands as a testament to both his longevity and his ability to evolve with the changing shape of electronic music.

DJ Grahm Gold’s Esta La Musica 355 transports listeners through John Baptiste and Amuze’s dreamy time machine on Open Records’ organic waves, a Melbourne fusion from the late 2010s that evokes endless horizons, before Russian Linesman’s belly of the whale descends into atmospheric depths via Warren and Rada’s remix, their UK-Argentine synergy shining since the duo’s 2010s global underground collabs on Loki’s experimental canvas.

Koschk’s tether pulls tight with Haievyk’s uplifting Belgian precision from Bonzai Progressive’s storied lineage, Donna Marie’s plush cushions the New Zealand melodic flow on Perfecto Black’s Paul Oakenfold-helmed imprint since 2020, and Yeah But No’s run run run charges hypnotically under Adam Port’s percussive Keinemusik touch, the German collective’s 2020 indie-to-club alchemy still pulsing fresh. Alex Breitling’s monument rises epically on Monkey League’s Cologne grooves, Olivier Giacomotto’s barbak sways with French indie flair from Eleatics’ 2020 debut.

Tim Penner’s ripples spread tribal heat on JOOF’s raw progressive soil, a Canadian sunset capture from 2020 that Hernan Cattaneo championed, while Collective States’ hyperdrive accelerates with UK acid house veterans’ drive on Krafted Underground’s 2020 minimal tech edge. Cirez D’s Valborg unleashes Swedish techno intensity on Mouseville’s Prydz-owned domain, a 2020 warehouse stormer that bridges his 2000s alias legacy.

Rony Seikaly’s flying circles soars bouncy on Stride’s deep house via Ruben Mandolini’s Italian remix, the Lebanese label’s 2020 vocal fire blending his Dubai residency vibes since the 2010s, Silicone Soul’s right on right on reignites soulful funk through Tanzmann’s 2020 update on Darkroom Dubs’ anniversary remaster, Glasgow’s 2000 classic warmer than ever. Funkagenda and Paul Thomas’ underground storms via Fuenka’s rising progressive punch on FSOE UV’s trance-rooted platform, and Marc Erberich’s high rides dreams bass-deep on Apriori’s Cologne tech from 2020.

DJ Grahm Gold’s Esta La Musica 355 masterfully arcs from organic dreams to techno storms, uniting 2020 underground icons in a progressive tapestry that captures the era’s resilient club spirit with timeless drive and melody.
