“Living the Selinunte Archaeological Park at night is a unique emotion, the atmosphere you breathe looks like ancient Greece ambience, a historical background with a setting full of good music that accompanies a journey through time”.
Francesco Scalia, CEO of SRC Rent Car
Music meets legality once again in one of the symbolic places of Sicily. On August 12-2023, the Selinunte Archaeological Park acts as a theater for the “Music and Legality” project designed by Valeria Grasso, the witness of justice who, after her complaints and her fight against the mafia, now she lives under guard, an initiative that has alreasy achieved 9 editions.
After the great success in 2022, which involved over 10,000 young people, a second appointment has been organized in Selinunte, within the largest archaeological park in Europe, located in Castelvetrano, in the province of Trapani. The choice of Selinunte as a location was not accidental because, along with the indisputable beauty of the ancient park, today it represents a strip of land sensitive initiatives that spread legality. On stage, performances by international artists such as Octave One and national artist like Vltra and Daniele Travali alternated, but the great guest star, in this case, was one of the most popular female DJ in the world: Peggy Gou.
Peggy Gou (Kim Min-ji) was born on the 3rd of July 1991 in Incheon in Korea. Professionally a deejay, record producer and stylist, she approached the world of music when she was 8 years old. She started taking piano lessons, but later she preferred to study fashion. She enrolled at the College of Fashion in London and became a correspondent for the Korean edition of Harper’s Bazaar magazine.
After some time, Peggy Gou moved to Berlin and became interested in music again. This time she has not focused on the classic genre, but has turned her attention to the world of clubs, especially to techno and house sounds. In 2016 this passion pushed her to become a deejay and, in a few months, she became the main protagonist of the Berlin nightclub Berghain.
Also in 2016, Peggy Gou released her first EPs and within a few years she became one of the best deejays in the world. She has performed in various festivals of international importance such as: Coachella, Primavera Sound, Tomorrowland, Sònar and Glastonbury.
Peggy Gou is also an activist. She is constantly engaged in the fight against sexism and fights for gender equality.
Also this year, we supported Unlocked Music Festival 2023, from the advertising campaign to promote the event to the big evening at the Selinunte Archaeological Park, we were there.
We want to extend our sincere congratulations to Unlocked, the organization of the festival, the administration, the police, the security and all the staff for making possible such an impressive event, rich in content with a high ethical value.
Music once again was able to attract thousands of young people who shared a moment of aggregation guided by a single principle: legality.
We are sure to be present also during future editions, because we hope that a remarkable project will continue to enhance our territory and the companies that constantly choose to continue working and investing in our fantastic island: Sicily.
