Peggy Gou wears many hats: she’s a DJ, producer, Gudu Records label head and, of late, a cultural phenomenon. She’s never been one for a heavy release schedule, but when Gou is ready to drop a track, it’s a moment in the electronic music calendar. This year, however, she took things further, releasing the lead single for her up-coming debut album bang in the middle of festival season. Because of ‘(It Goes Like) Nanana’, Gou is now known to a wider audience. Taking inspiration from ATB’s 1998 hit ‘9PM (Till I Come)’, it caught the current wave of nostalgia at its peak, tapping into ‘90s and early ‘00s anthems that defined a whole dance era. To celebrate the single release, Gou organised a flashmob in London’s Soho, giving fans just two hours to head to central London — they packed out the square in no time.

Le Shuuk

From: Stuttgart, Germany

DJ style:“Hard dance / electro / hardstyle / techno / EDM.”

Best known for: “The tracks ‘Sandmann’, ‘Toast Hawaii’ and ‘Konje’, as well as being a resident and face of WORLD CLUB DOME Festival.”

A mainstay of the electronic scene for almost 20 years now, Stuttgart native Le Shuuk is no stranger to the rigours of touring. In the last 12 months, he decided to overhaul his lifestyle, committing to exercising regularly and abstaining from drinking during his shows. As a result, the DJ and producer, who is a favourite of the German festival circuit, says that he is having more fun on stage than ever. He credits these changes with allowing him to connect on a deeper level with his audiences, as well as redefine his career goals and look with renewed focus to the future.

The new healthy habits clearly agree with him. As well as recently performing at festivals and clubs across Europe, and holding his own Le Shuuk & Friends parties in his home city, he continues to build on the momentum of tracks like 2020’s peak-rave, German language tune ‘Sandmann’ and 2021’s hypnotic ‘Goodbye’ (featuring Xillions). This year he had another star turn with the explosive ‘Konje’, a collaboration with B-Stylezz that combined modern techno and EDM with the traditional elements of Bulgarian folk songs, with the track receiving big support from the likes of Armin van Buuren, Amelie Lens, and Joyhauser.
