One of them was to become the first South Korean DJ to play Berlin’s techno institution Berghain - a goal she accomplished only months later. Another item on that list was to record an installment of !K7’s DJ-Kicks series. “It is the gold standard of DJ mixes”, she says. “Some of my favorite selectors have contributed to it.” Now, Peggy Gou can cross that off her list too as she proudly presents the 69th edition of the mix series.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eThe Berliner by choice started working on the mix last year. It was a busy time for the 28-year old: she had just landed her first Mixmag cover and her single ‘It Makes You Forget (Itgehane)’ was gathering awards and critical praise. Every month, she was playing 20 clubs around the world. And yet, the aim for her mix was ambitious: instead of attempting to capture the energy of her DJ sets, her goal was to create a portrait of her very own musical journey. An 18-track listening session that takes you straight to Peggy Gou’s living room where she puts on the formative tunes from her collection. With no genre boundaries, she moves between disco, house, techno and electro. With no tempo limits, the mix ranges from 90 to 150 BPM. And with no age restrictions, the oldest tracks in the mix are from 1983.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eThe same level of attention was brought to the impressive cover art, in which the documented animal lover references both Korean iconography and the endangered status of the creature from the country’s foundational mythology, the tiger:\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e“I had the concept for this cover in my mind for a long time, as the first Korean female 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 human to shoot with a real tiger, both myself and the photographer Jonas Lindstroem used a library image to make a composite. The tiger ‘disappears’ as you turn to the inner sleeve photo, to highlight that these beautiful animals are already extinct in my home country and in danger of disappearing completely from our world.”\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Tenampa Record Shop","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44242816270499,"sku":"","price":750.0,"currency_code":"MXN","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0583\/1239\/2867\/files\/image_e10fdec0-26d6-4ab3-a9a0-1f62623b7118.jpg?v=1712023957","url":"https:\/\/tenampa.mx\/en\/products\/dj-kicks-peggy-gou-2lp-k7","provider":"Tenampa","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
