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.
