Peplab
Wondergirl

unsigned

WE SAY

Peplab contains various member of cheesey mid- nineties Dutch group Doop, techno artist Capricorn and the hard house artist Blackburst. There's a lightness of touch to the jaunty beat, an '80s piano hook, a compelling whispered vocal, a cascading effect, a vocoder, a clapping crowd and plenty more to signify there's a hit for the taking.
