Hard to remember by now, but the Berlin-based Korean Peggy Gou had been surprisingly quiet since first bursting onto the scene back in 2016. Here are the beginnings of her rise to global stardom, having graduated from Technicolour to parent label Ninja Tune. Many will remember the standout "It Makes You Forget (Itgehane)", a percussively ambidextrous beast based around a bouncy, off-skilter, snare-heavy rhythm track. It has been much discussed online after Gou included it her recent Resident Advisor podcast. On the B-side you'll find tracks representative of her developing style, which draws together elements of European deep house, electro, early '90s U.S house, the e rubbery disco eccentricity of Maurice Fulton and the instinctive polyrhythms more often found in traditional African music.
