Costume Party
The Only Halloween
Party Worth It
Gaukurinn is hosting the annual Halloween
Iceland party this year, and it is THE Halloween
event to go to. DJ Mobus will be providing you
with all the beats, tunes and drops to dance the
night away in your heavy costume (not the best
choice). Do note, this is a costume party, and
you’ll need to be in one to even get admission.
The award ceremony is held after midnight,
and provided you’re not too fitshaced by then,
you can dance all night long. And no, regular
muggle clothes with a “Hi, my name is God”
sticker doesn’t count as a costume. We think.

Concert
Cold Bands, Warm
Hearts
Drop by this extra icy festival showcase featur-
ing live artists Stereo Hypnosis, Futuregra-
pher, Mike Hunt, and Murya alongside DJs
Beatmakin Troopa and Árni Vector, all of
who played at the Extreme Chill Festival ear-
lier this year. The combination of nippy beats,
inventive sounds, and hypnotic overtones is
sure to make for a memorable, shiver-inducing
set. Come close your eyes and let this collection
of dream-synth electronica lull you into the best
sort of stupor. On top of bringing a warm jacket
to the showcase, it’s recommended that you try
not to get arrested this time. RTC

Concert Series
Don’t Miss A Beat
Youth cultural centre Hitt Húsið has just re-
started their 4/4 concert series, which focuses
on giving musicians aged 16-25 the chance to
promote their music, as well as get experience
performing in front of a live crowd. The first
show features 17-year-old singer-songwriter
Magnús Thorlacius; 24-year-old Columbian-
Icelandic Ivan Mendez, who performs acoustic
indie-folk music with a band; 17-year-old Erna
Mist; and 24-year-old Luke. Then on October
17, there’s another show with indie kids Aragrúi
and Stígur. Don’t miss this series; it’s very likely
the future of Icelandic music. GB
