PEGGY GOU has evolved into the music industry's hippest DJ over the past few years, scoring high profile DJ spots like the BOILER ROOM and every major festival there is on the circuit and even designing her own fashion line. A curious, interesting, and talented creative, she has developed a versatile DJ and production style.

Besides that, her deep tech house sets caught the attention of big names in the music industry and seemingly overnight the name Peggy Gou was on everybody's lips.
