Peggy Gou is one of electronic music's biggest celebrities. Her catchy productions, high-intensity DJ sets and personal style have propelled her to the upper echelons of stardom—a journey that's brought an equal number of fans and critics. "There are a lot of assumptions about me," she tells moderator Souhayla Ou-Oumar during a live RA Exchange at last year's Amsterdam Dance Event. 

Over the course of the 50-minute conversation, which includes a Q&A with the audience, the label owner, producer, DJ and fashion designer spills the beans on her decision-making process, how she deals with haters and maintaining authenticity. Emphasising the power of saying no, the Korea-born artist explains how she executes her creative philosophy by being selective on projects. "I have a great team who follow my vision but basically, I'm a control freak." She says she's never had a manager and does all social media herself because "I don't like it when people tell me what to do."

To hear more about how Gou finds inspiration, why South Korea is a place of healing for her and the importance of listening to the body, listen to the conversation in full.

Motivated by new energy and healthy routines, i created this work-out mix for Nike! 
Built like a work-out, the mix warms up slowly, gets sweaty with the hits and cools down in the end :)

PLAY GOU Workout MIX

DJ, producer, remixer and record collector, Eltron (@eltron-domtrojga) has been a staple figure on the Polish underground music scene for well over a decade, much loved for his passionate, no-nonsense approach to the craft.
His signature sets –  at times as long as 6-8 hours – often cut across genres and eras, displaying the breadth of his musical roots, which lay in soul, disco, dub and psychedelia as much as in house, techno and electro.
A long-time Unsound Festival affiliate and resident, he had participated in the 2008 edition of Red Bull Music Academy. 1/2 of the duo Seltron 400 (alongside SLG). Eltron releases music on Pets Recordings/STEP, Transatlantyk/TVPC, MOST, S1 Warsaw, U Know Me, UNDERTHESEA and Uncanny Valley, and is currently running his own imprint Dom Trojga.

A new guestmix is up on SoundCloud every month, check the full archive here >> www.bit.ly/TiellaSound-Archive.

hanne helene @ATE

hanne-helene started djing back in 2013, being deeply fascinated by music scene in early 80’s, disco from New York, house from Chicago and Detroit techno. In her mixes, you will find a lot of deep house, tech-house and nu-disco sounds, but very often, she is going across the borders of house, which you can hear in sets fully mixed with new beats, rap, hip-hop and electronic music rooted in Los Angeles or London. Vinyl collector. Formerly, member of “I’m So Addicted” crew and resident dj at Młynska12 in her hometown city of Poznań, Poland.
As one of her friends (@https://soundcloud.com/djkurkuma) once said: “Her mixes are stylish, precise and elegant. It's a sound you would expect from a DJ who cites music, architecture and fashion as her biggest fascinations.”
