Peggy Gou

Seamlessly mixing house, acid and techno tunes, this Berlin-based DJ and producer is one of the hottest names on the scene right now. Some of her accomplishments? Being the first South Korean DJ to play at Berlins iconic Berghain club, having her music on heavy rotation around the world, and becoming a TAG Heuer ambassador

You recently won the AIM Award for Independent Track of the Year for your track “It Makes You Forget (Itgehane)”. How did that feel?

To be honest, my agent and I were screaming in the taxi on the way back to our hotel. I went: “Excuse me, sir, can we scream?” The driver said: “No.” “What about two minutes?” “Two minutes is too long.” “Two seconds?” And we just screamed. I came back to the hotel and I was crying because I was very emotional about that night. I worked hard for it. There were a lot of things that I had to prove so I felt like that award was basically telling me: “Well done.”

That track and “Han Jan” from your Once EP both feature your vocals. Is that a new direction that you’re heading towards?

Yes! Itgehane is the song that that brought my career to another level. As a producer, you want to find your signature sound, and I think that EP kind of told me that this is what I have to do.
