One of the brightest talents in recent memory brings the sound of K-house to Contact

The rise of Peggy Gou has been impossible to ignore for anyone following global dance music culture. The South Korean artist first came to light via a head-turning release on Rekids, The Art Of War Part 1, but she had already been honing her craft as a DJ in London via a residency at The Book Club. Having also studied fashion while developing her musical career, her career now represents a two-pronged celebration of style – both the widely adored sheen of her infectious house music (which she self-styles as K-house) and her own clothing line, KIRIN. Collaborations with Nike and Louis Vuitton have further cemented Gou’s presence in the fashion world.
“It Makes You Forget (Itgehane)” was the hit that broke Gou through to the masses, but she’s taken that success in her stride and continued to forge ahead with her own sound, developing her voice as a singer on “Once” and building up her own Gudu Records. Her recently released entry in the fabled DJ Kicks series showcased the breadth of her taste as a DJ, spanning electronica and 90s techno as much as modern bass music but all bound by a warm, ear-catching sense for melody. That’s the style you can expect to hear when she makes a highly anticipated appearance on the Studio X floor.
