ReykjavíkFrakkastígur 16 ORGANIC BAKERY 30The Reykjavík GrapevineIssue 9 — 2016 THE GLACIER MAFIA is at it again! GÍSLI PÁLMI has released a new single that is sure to become one of the songs of the summer, so get ready to hear “Roro” blasted up and down Laugavegur. You can find the song, and its music video on YouTube. Fresh off being one of the most hyped acts at Secret Solstice, “Roro” is a sign that Gísli and the Glacier Mafia are here to stay. LORD PUSSWHIP and SVARTI LAXNESS, two well-respected figures in Iceland’s hip-hop scene, have joined forces again to release “Á Móti Streymi.” The song combines Svarti Laxness’s crafty lyrics with Lord Pusswhip’s smooth and psychadelic beats. Here’s hoping to more collaborations in the future! Iceland’s favourite pop star has released a new summer banger. GLOWIE, who rose to prominence last summer with the release of her single “No More,” is at it again with “No Lie.” Get used to this earworm, and keep your eyes peeled for a music video directed by Saga Sig that will be released in the near future. Anyone who’s danced to Egill Spegill’s set at Prikið knows he is one of Reyk- javík’s favourite DJs. Despite his young age, he’s been a regular on the city's par- ty scene since high school and knows all the tricks for keeping the crowd jump- ing until late in the night. Make sure to find him working his magic at Prikið this month. When did you start DJing? I started DJing in 2012 when I was in secondary school. My first gig was at a school fashion show. After that, I started playing at all kinds of school events and in the start of summer 2013, I did my first gig downtown, DJing at Faktorý. Then in 2014, I started DJing regularly in various venues and bars downtown and I’ve been doing so every weekend since. What styles do you play? I try to play new and fresh hip-hop, mostly trap and RnB. What's your favourite Reykjavík venue to play? Prikið, Prikið, Prikið. Nothing com- pares to Prikið. I started DJing there in 2014 and I’ve had a monthly gig there, playing with Young Nazareth* for the last year. Those nights are my favou- rites. *Shoutsout to Yung Naza What kind of gear do you use when playing? I use a Macbook air computer and a Traktor S2 controller using the Traktor program. It never fails. I also use oth- er equipment from Traktor to switch things up, including Traktor Z2 and Traktor X1. If you were an audio effect, which one would you be? Delay, I’m not very punctual. What kind of crowd is the best crowd in your opinion? People that are willing to dance are my favourite. What are your five essential tracks of the moment? “Enginn Mórall” by Aron Can, “Roro” by Gísli Pálmi, “Karafrétta” by Herra Hne- tusmjör, “For Free” by DJ Khaled featur- ing Drake and ‘’Uber Everywhere’’ by MadeinTYO featuring Travi$ Scott.
