With a career spanning over four decades, he has played a pivotal role in shaping the electronic music scene, from his early days in London’s club culture to his global recognition as a trance and progressive house icon.
Graham first made his mark in the 1980s, gaining widespread popularity as the drive time presenter on JFM radio and resident DJ at 6 nights a week at Mayfair's Gullivers Club.

His Peach club nights at London’s Camden Palace (later KOKO) became the stuff of legend, attracting top-tier DJs and devoted clubbers alike. Throughout the ‘90s and early 2000s, Graham became a key figure on the international DJ circuit, playing at major festivals and superclubs worldwide, including Glastonbury, Ultra Music Festival, BCM, Amnesia etc.
His electrifying sets and deep passion for music earned him a place in DJ Magazine’s Top 100 DJs five years in a row. As a producer, Graham Gold has released tracks on a number of highly respected labels, delivering cutting-edge sounds in trance and progressive house.
His move to Koh Phangan in Thailand, dubbed S.E. Asia’s Ibiza, led to a change in music style where he now embraces techno, deep house, and all the genres around progressive and melodic house. After decades in the industry, he remains a very influential figure, while continuing to tour and release music.
