When Peggy Gou
released her debut EP 'Art of War' in 2016, she made a list of career goals.
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 - she moves across disco,
house, techno and electro. No tempo limits - the mix ranges from 90 to 150 BPM.
And no age restriction - the earliest tunes on the mix are from 1983.
