Peggy Gou

No idea why I read that FB post, but it sounds like a case of ESH (Everyone Sucks Here).

wang is getting dogpiled on twitter (obviously) and and as much as i like him i had to admit i laughed at this

why does Daniel Wang's house look like he robbed the local ethnological museum? pic.twitter.com/Pc7WwZGjKE

German DJs and their living rooms

(although all the pictures have gone now)

Classic thread

I remember that thread very fondly lol

Sven Vath's scary carpet

lmao easily my best post of all time, only trick i missed was calling it spaghetti instead of minimal pasta

Sven Vath's scary carpet

my favourite Half Man Half Biscuit song!

lol

That's a great post, stirmonster. Couldn't agree more

I'm not sure why the so called underground of dance music gets upset by all this kind of (alleged) behaviour. I feel they should expect nothing from mainstream dance culture, ignore it and come to the realisation it is a separate world based entirely on being as famous / popular as possible no matter what that might take. Also, the sooner the "underground" stops aspiring to embrace the tropes of mainstream dance culture the better. So-called undergrounds are much, much better off when they devote less energy to trying to make the mainstream change and stop perceiving the mainstream as some sort of mirror image.

This 100 times, and it also applies in many other genres as well as media realms. Poetry and literature in particular would do well to dispense with the ridiculous idea that self-publishing, for example, is somehow "lesser than," which is one that has creeped into even the more strident, experimental realms of US poetry in recent years. It's disappointing and it sucks.

thoroughly otm x2

Old Wang Yells at Gou-dj.

Good piece here: https://annabelross.medium.com/the-gou-the-bad-and-the-ugly-what-the-peggy-gou-furore-says-about-electronic-musics-pandemic-of-c63094a9be3c

the postscript makes the point better than the rest, imo

Agreed.

new song, getting saint etienne vibes

wonder what Daniel Wang, thinks of that.....

maybe the audience on the other side of the camera are having the time of their lives but i find it hard to imagine this was an enjoyble experience for her.

one thing about this kind of video clip troll stuff is that it brings out all the old miserable gits with their "clubs are all shit now" vibes. they are not. 99.9% of clubs are nothing like this.

I know this makes me sound like I'm 100 years old but gtfo with all those cell phones

i can't be bothered to have an opinion on this. however i will note that it is actually the closest she's gotten to the sort of thing daniel wang might be into. might be what hamildan was getting at ...

also i was pretty alarmed because at first it seemed that she was covered with bruises, like a mishandled potato. but on second thought i think those are how tattoos look through a sheer, filmy bodysuit that she's wearing under her outfit. it kinda looks like what an olympic ice dancer might wear!

agree tbh. i don't want to watch the video but just want to register here that i play the soulwax remix of "i go" all the time.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ssKWFlclNFg

it's a... pastiche?

Is that a 9Pm sample?

maybe just a reference

it's at least a reference

👍

i'm into it!

verse is a bit like sexyback in a french affair deadpan

the pitch bend brings a pavlovian joy

Didn't expect her to be having Top 5 chart hits!

it's basically ATB's "9pm (Til I Come)" for 2023 though. I'm actually more surprised at how long it's taken for these kind of festival headline acts to have chart success - I thought it would be Patrick Topping or Bicep who would have beat her to a massive crossover hit.

pretty good dj if you like techno, electro and house in the classicist tradition.

I like this Michael Wycoff-sampling remix:

i don’t think this holds a candle to any of the singles on thw Jam City record, which also reprises this sound in certain ways.

daniel wang has to hold this L

I will say I wanted to dislike this at first because the best all-time ATB 9pm rip is Vitas' "Тело" ("Body") which you can see performed at the Kremlin:

but I came around on it. it feels very 'A&R'd' to me but the end result works ... not sure I can put it on the level of itgahene but its a W

There's a video now

I’m lost with all the mentions of Daniel Wang in here. Have no idea who he is or what’s the connection to Peggy Gou. Care to enlighten me?

Oh wait I found an article… shrug

absolutely did not see this collaboration coming
