Vaginaboys - Airwaves

It was just spring that Vaginaboys burst onto the scene from out of nowhere. All of the sudden, their breakout hit “Elskan af því bara” (“Baby Just Because”) started spreading across Icelandic social media circles at an alarming rate. No one had a clue who they were, but everyone fell in love all the same, their unique brand of ice-cold, sexy 808 auto-tuned R’n’B resonating in hip-hop and indie circles alike. The ‘boys made their stage show opening up for Sin Fang in May, and they’ve barely let up since, releasing a steady trickle of new material through their Soundcloud, performing shows all over town, all the while successfully managing to keep their true identities under wraps.

Sturla Atlas - Airwaves

Since, he has played at many festivals and shows all over Iceland, experimenting with various genres and projects. As well as having remixes released for some of Icelands top electronica artists, including Skurken and most recently Tonik Ensamble, his debut EP was released on Möller Records in early 2013. Since then Snooze Infinity’s sound and style has matured and evolved further and is now most easily recognized by his chilled ambient atmospheres and glitchy soundscapes often combined with groovy and bass heavy beats.

Bistro Boy - Airwaves

BistroBoy´s music has been described as smooth and 80´s rooted with an electronic twist. Bistro Boy released his EP Sólheimar in 2012, LP album Journey in December 2013 and Rivers & Poems with Japanese ambient/drone artists Nobuto Suda in 2015.

Daveeth - Airwaves

Daveeth is the artist name of Davíð Hólm Júlíusson. The music can mostly be characterized as braindance and acid but takes twist and turns to visit other influences. For live shows he takes the role of the conductor of acidic machinery with sweaty button pushing and knob twiddling.

Their Young Ones EP, on new Warner Bros imprint Meno Records, consolidated the excitement surrounding the twin brothers with an astonishing 4 song set of vigorous, percussive, liquid funk, genuflecting towards greats like ESG, Dinosaur L and LCD Soundsystem while also carving out its very own path through the modern landscape. Formation are set to release a new EP later this year following their first Summer festival season and a string of European dates with Foals.

Emblah - Airwaves

FM Belfast - Airwaves

The President of Iceland, Mr. Ólafur Ragnar Grímsson, often speaks of the special nature of the Icelandic people. In his mind, the most treasured commodity among Icelanders is their “Viking” spirit—their passion and enthusiasm for conquering new ground and reaping the benefits of their adventurous and courageous natures. This is obviously a load of nonsense and has absolutely nothing to do with FM Belfast. FM Belfast just want to be your friend. Because FM Belfast are not Vikings. They do not pillage and plunder. Instead, they give, and they care. With simple, delicately crafted melodies, unpredictable beats and humorous lyrics, FM Belfast bring smiles to their audience’s faces, and life to their every extremity—whether it be in the car, in the kitchen or on the dancefloor. But there’s more. In their live performances, FM Belfast somehow manage to elevate their music to new heights. They manage to mediate a certain weltanschauung; manage to share their joie de vivre. Seeing an FM Belfast concert is almost a religous experience, save for the religion. Unlike organized religion, though, their music isn’t conditional—it is simply inviting. It offers a genuine sense of belonging. Everyone feels it, as they dance and chant and release more sweat than Jane Fonda’s disciples ever could. FM Belfast was originally formed by couple Lóa Hjálmtýsdóttir and Árni Hlöðversson in late 2005. They wanted to record a song, one which they could give to their friends as a Christmas present. Says a lot, doesn’t it? Not surprisingly, the Iceland Airwaves music festival proved to be a catalyst in the band’s story—as Lóa and Árni needed extra people for their live act in 2006. These extra people have been numerous, although the core members have included Árni Vilhjálmsson (Motherfuckers in the House), Örvar Þóreyjarson Smárason (Múm). Andri Snær Magnason, three-time recipient of the Icelandic Literary Prize, says he has to attend a FM Belfast concert at least once every six months, according to doctor’s orders. It is worth mentioning that Andri Snær is not a doctor, but his father is a doctor; his grandfather is a doctor; his sister is no less than a neurosurgeon! Should we, the common, soot-stained masses, doubt the professional medical advice of an entire family? Thankfully we don’t have to. Because FM Belfast takes its role in the public’s health very seriously. Because the members of the band are just like you and me—they are a part of us. They pay off their mortgages, take their kids to day care and in the evening boil potatoes. They don’t always have enough to fill the gas tank or perhaps don’t even have a car to begin with. They’ve even been known to play basketball in tattered sneakers. The band’s struggle for survival, and that of the Icelandic nation as a whole, is wearisome and tedious. But in the end, there is good news, because FM Belfast knows the antidote—the recipe for making the struggle a happy one and for patching the holes in tattered sneakers. Because as the poet said: “Smile and the world smiles back.”

DJ Yamaho - Airwaves

She has remained in high demand ever since (and not just in Iceland) having also played in Ibiza, Barcelona and many European clubs and venues.

She has also recently begun to produce her own music, following the same lines of dance and quality.
