One of them was to become the first : :' South Korean DJ to play Berlin's techno institution Berghain, ': ,: an objective she achieved only a few months later. Another item :, : on that list was to record an instalment of !K7's DJ-Kicks : :' series. "It's the premier class of DJ mixes," she says. "Some ': ,: of my favourite selectors have contributed to it." Now Peggy Gou :, : can tick that off her list too as she proudly presents the 69th : :' edition of the mix series. ': ,: :, : The Berliner-by-choice started working on the mix last year. It : :' was a busy time for the 28-year-old: she'd just scored her ': ,: first Mixmag cover and her single 'It Makes You Forget :, : (Itgehane)' was receiving awards and critical acclaim. Each : :' month she would DJ in 20 nightclubs all over the world. And ': ,: yet, the goal for her mix was ambitious: instead of trying to :, : capture the energy of her DJ sets, she aimed to create a : :' portrayal of her own musical journey. An 18-track listening ': ,: session that takes you straight into Peggy Gou's living room :, : where she plays you the formative tunes from her collection. No : :' genre boundaries û she moves across disco, house, techno and ': ,: electro. No tempo limits û the mix ranges from 90 to 150 BPM. :, : And no age restriction û the earliest tunes on the mix are from : :' 1983. ': ,: :, : The same level of attention was brought to the arresting cover : :' artwork, in which the well-documented animal lover references ': ,: both Korean iconography and the endangered status of the :, : creature of the country's foundational mythology, the tiger: : :' ': ,: "I had the concept of this cover in my mind for a long time - as :, : the first Korean woman to contribute to the DJ-Kicks series I : :' wanted to do something from my heritage, so I chose the tiger, ': ,: which is very important in Korean traditions and a metaphor for :, : my personality," says Peggy. "As it is not humane to shoot with : :' a real tiger, I and the photographer Jonas Lindstroem used a ': ,: library image to make a composite. The tiger 'disappears' when :, : you turn to the inside-cover photo, to highlight that these : :' beautiful animals are already extinct in my home country and in ': ,: danger of disappearing from our world entirely". :, : : :' The journey through her record shelves kicks off with ': ,: 'Fluresence', the 1993 classic by British ambient stalwart :, : Spacetime Continuum, before Peggy throws in the first of the : :' mix's three exclusives, 'Hungboo'. "It's the first track I ever ': ,: made," she says of the mellow tune that features birdsong, :, : muffled koto chords, phrase singing and heavy dub bass. : :' Considering its long gestation û she started working on it in ': ,: London and finished it in Berlin û the tune is an impressive :, : testament to her growth as an artist and how she has strived to : :' find her own musical voice. ': ,: :, : Further down the track list you find tunes by her biggest : :' influences such as Aphex Twin ('Drukqs' standout 'Vordhosbn') ': ,: and Andrew Weatherall (his 1990 remix of Sly and Lovechild's :, : 'The World According To Sly and Lovechild'), as well as tracks : :' by rising artists such as Deniro or JRMS. The latter's ': ,: contribution is a secret weapon from Peggy's recent DJ sets :, : which will eventually see full release through her brand new : :' imprint Gudu Records. ': ,: :, : The other exclusives come from Milanese duo Hiver, who deliver : :' the hypnotically pulsating banger ('Pert'), and Parisian house ': ,: auteur I:Cube, who shared a hard-drive of unreleased tunes with :, : Peggy when he remixed 'It Makes You Forget (Itgehane)'. "After : :' he allowed me to use a track for my mix, he lost all the ': ,: files", she says. "I had to send him back his own track and he :, : renamed it from 'Unreleased' to 'Cassette Jam 1993'." : :' ': ,: With I:Cube's hazy, sample-laden house track fading out, Peggy :, : Gou takes the needle off the record and the 73-minute listening : :' session comes to an end. A listening session that highlights ': ,: her distinct taste and deep interest in music and shows that her :, : journey has just begun. : :' ': : ' '.. ..' .. . :........... . . . . ............: . . ______________ ______________ \ / \ / \ / Shout out to all our homies from: \ / \ / \ / \ / iPC BOSS HiT2000 1way UKi i8 RNS \ / \ / RAGEMP3 MANDY DV8 pLAN9 BUTT \ / \ / \ / \/ ____ ____ \/ \ / F A N G \ / \/ 2 0 1 9 \/
