Hard Rock Cafe and Inferno Productions will be hosting the first Street Party New Years Countdown. We have the privelage of bringing arguably the biggest DJ to ever come to Chiang Mai Graham Gold. He has a career spanning over 3 decades.
6 x B.P.I. (British Phonographic Institute) Gold certified artist. His recent releases on Krafted, Bequem, Moon Island, Jungle Funk, SJE and Endemic have firmly confirmed his transition from a former world famous trance DJ, to an acknowledged tech house and techno DJ/Producer. It should be remembered Graham was playing house music way back in 1987, long before trance came along-he has just returned to his roots.

A former Discover World artist, Graham has played every major club and many festivals such as Glastonbury, Summadazye and Homelands in 150 cities across 40 countries,

Now living in Koh Phangan, Thailand-many say it’s S.E Asia’s Ibiza-he plays at many of the islands parties and he produces his weekly radio show, Esta La Musica which airs on various portals worldwide and gets over a quarter of a million listeners weekly. It always enters the Top 10 on Mixcloud’s Progressive House-Deep House -Tech House chart where he has approaching 8000 followers.

His daily radio show airs on Inspire Radio 1 -105.75FM in Bangkok, on Chareon Cable and at http://www.inspirebangkok.com/ He also programmes the stations The Big Weekend In-15 hours of Electronica which includes shows from Todd Terry, Roger Sanchez, Robbie Rivera, Sister Bliss, Paul van Dyk, Defected, Ferry Corsten. Claptone and more.

Graham previously ran the Koolworld, Peach and Good:As record labels where he took numerous tracks from the underground and turned them into commercial successes. One of his biggest singings was Mat Darey’s ‘Liberation”’ which Graham had found on a demo CD Mat had given him. He sent it to Ferry Corsten to remix and it made the UK Top 20 giving Mat his first ever chart success. With this ear for music Graham now co-runs Koh Phangan’s Moon Island Records

Graham was a ground-breaking DJ on London’s Kiss 100FM which also produced Friday Night Kiss - networked country wide as well of course heard globally online, and was the UK’s most listened to dance music programme, ahead of Pete Tong’s Essential Selection. He was also a sought after TV presenter and hosted the clubbing TV show ‘BPM’ which aired on the UK’s number one commercial channel.

He has sold over 700,000 compilation albums and previously spent 8 consecutive years in the DJ Magazine Top 100 with 2 YEARS AS THE 22ND BEST DJ IN THE WORLD. As recently as 2013, he was number 83 in The Most Popular DJ’s Of All Time Chart and His tracks were played by the likes of Paul van Dyk and Armin van Buuren and his company, Good :As managed the UK & Ibiza diaries of Armin, Tiesto and Ferry Corsten from 1998-2001

Graham has been a DJ his whole life and lived through disco, soul, jazz funk and was there at the beginning of the house music phenomenon. In 1985-1986 after years on London’s Pirate radio stations he presented the soul show on London’s Capital FM ahead of his move to Kiss 100FM.

His real ‘craft learning years’ were at Gullivers in London’s Mayfair from 1980-1989 where he played 6 nights a week, 7 a hours a night to the capitals movers and shakers. It’s no wonder clubbers and the whole industry call him a legend!
