Peggy Gou, the Incheon-born DJ and label founder, brought her Gou Talk showcase to a sold-out Drumsheds with a day of invited selectors.
Peggy Gou, the Korean DJ and founder of the Gudu Records label, brought Gou Talk to Drumsheds in Meridian Water on Saturday 4 October 2025. The sold-out day paired her own selections with guests she chose.
Born Kim Min-ji in Incheon in 1991, she was sent to London at fourteen to learn English. She returned at eighteen to study fashion at the London College of Fashion, then moved to Berlin.
A friend taught her to DJ in 2009. Her first finished track, “Hungboo”, followed in 2014.
“It Makes You Forget (Itgehane)” won Best Track at the 2018 AIM Independent Music Awards, and she became the first Korean DJ to play Berghain. Her debut album, I Hear You, came out on XL Recordings in June 2024. She has played Coachella, Glastonbury and Printworks.
Gou Talk is her own concept, built around a long bill of house and techno selectors. The day brought it to the city where she first held a weekly slot, at The Book Club in east London.
Anz, Ewan McVicar, Marie Montexier and Dennis Free played, with a live set from KiNK. Alinka, Bella, Brain De Palma and Smokey Bubblin’ B were also on the bill.
