[content title="Summary" label="Overall Score"]Peggy Gou is definitely one of the most charismatic artists in the techno scene with huge pop hit under his belt and great collaboration with Lenny Kravitz. Now her new single 1+1=11 is a magnificent slice of balearic music with 90's infusions and nostalgic touches but certainly with a nod for the future. Magnificent melodies merged with deep techno kick, pounding basslines, thumping drums and superb piano and guitar riffs blended in perfection in truly cinematic direction. If you adore hypnotic lethargic sounds then this wonderful track with carry you away to your own little world. As it happens always close your eyes and let the imagination do the rest with wide open ears. Music is FREEDOM. #PureGold Love IT [/content]
