Hey, Peggy, how has your 2022 been so far?

I don’t know how to relax so I’ve been planning and thinking a lot about upcoming projects. Right now, I’m back in Berlin working in the studio, but I was just in Dubai and Manchester and am about to go to Korea to see family. 2022 has been great so far. I have a great feeling about it.

The theme of this issue is empathy. How has playing music to different audiences around the world informed your understanding of people? 

I think it’s a really important topic these days, you need to have empathy to do what I do. Whenever I DJ anywhere in the world, I feel responsible for people having a great time because things like music, parties or festivals are what people associate positive memories with. I’m not a big fan of when DJs don’t connect with the crowd, I think you need to feel what the audience feels to play better. I do believe that I’m a very empathetic person, which is why sometimes I get insecure about playing the wrong track or ruining the moment. When I first started playing, I was focusing on the people that were not dancing. Then I realized that my mentality was wrong and I should be focusing on the people who were dancing and wanting to connect with my music. So now my only focus is the people who want to feel and interact with my music and positive energy.
