Peggy Gou: I Hear You review – sparkling 90s-inspired dance
Irrepressible tracks abound on the hugely popular Korean DJ-producer’s debut album
As often in the dance industry, success precedes suspicion: Gou’s first break came when a promoter saw her photo rather than heard her DJ; she’s into fashion as much as music; her songs often rehash club classics. Back to One and 1+1=11 could be vintage Strictly Rhythm tracks, while slivers of mellow techno, piano house and even Renegade Soundwave pop up, as well as that earworm interpolation of 9pm (Till I Come) during huge crossover hit(It Goes Like) Nanana. Gou deftly creates irrepressible music equally suited to tiny basements, Bluetooth speakers or Berghain’s Panorama bar, the Berlin nightspot where she gained so much of her clubbing education.
