Absorbing the world pulsing from within.
Grooves slide like liquid, wonky glides fizz and dissolve into somewhere else - Laid-back, a little dirty and full of sly detail. Feel it soak, filter and return.

Peng Peng – That's how it sounds when a dance floor is hit by a double strike of sudden pressure. When this happens, the lower sound spectrum boosts from the speakers like a seismic force of nature, creating a vibe that is dark and dirty. Whereas the higher sound spectrum is like a weightless counterpart, full of subtle melodies and trippy rhythm fragments. Peng Peng – Music that hits your head, that hits your feet, and that goes straight to your heart.

There's a good reason why the groove of Peng Peng is so dynamic and ever-evolving. It's the result of an ongoing duel between two creative minds, shooting ideas and inspiration at one another. Both of them are already well known in the world of electronic dance music. There's Dolph, a long-year Hip Hop and Slow Electronica producer who eventually started a successful career on the 4-to-the-floor circuit. And there's Meerkats, an expert on dance floor dynamics thanks to his extensive experience as a DJ and party-goer. Nowadays based in Berlin the two of them share a deep passion for black humour, for minor chords, and for badass car subwoofers. The perfect basis for friendship – and for a music project that stands out. One moment it's a casual House groove, the next moment it turns into delirious ecstasy. Then again there's serious hypnotism going on somewhere between minimalist rhythms and monumental bass lines, and a few minutes later the listener is surrounded by explosive Funk. The most consequent elements in the sound of Peng Peng are inventiveness and ongoing modulation – and that's why it is just made for extensive liveacts.

----------------------------
Go with the flow... and listen to your gut feeling while doing so! Dolph pays heed to this wisdom, both in life and in music.
His productions reveal an original sound that’s unique to him - one that stems from many influences, and yet doesn’t follow any of its rules - only his gut. His production career has roots in Hip Hop and Electronica - but his passion for melancholia of all kinds has driven him to produce music that reflects his musical evolution over time. With a knack for twisting rhythms and sound structures around one another, he shows a noticeable disregard towards style conventions - choosing to craft his own personal taste in beats that are gradually becoming more linear. An irresistible catchiness pulsates amongst rich bass lines and distinct melodies, intertwining energetic grooves with percussions in soundscapes that are electronic yet experimental, subtle and slow. No matter the tempo he’s moving in, it’s easy to recognize his music, which usually oscillates between a playful happy vibe and dreamy melancholia.
His productions have been released on labels such as Akumandra, Amselcom and the label that supported him from the very beginning -  Acker Records.
