LET'S MEET THE ARTISTS!
New Jersey’s 54 Ultra serves up soulful indie rock with a synthy, nostalgic twist that’s already turning heads worldwide. Fresh off sold-out shows in LA and New York, his debut EP First Works cements him as one to watch.
Texas-born troubadour Alex Amen has lived communes, boats, and mountain trails, and pours it all into Americana storytelling. Now based in LA, his heartfelt folk songs carry the weight of wild journeys and restless searching.
With soaring melodies and velvet harmonies, Clara La San crafts R&B-rooted songs that feel both timeless and future-facing. Fresh off hundreds of millions of streams and collaborations with Yves Tumor and Bicep, she’s carving out her own spellbinding world.
Award-winning Icelandic singer Bríet blends heartfelt songwriting with bold, pop-driven energy, pairing her unmistakable voice with a visionary eye for every detail of her art. From her Album of the Year triumph Kveðja, Bríet to her magnetic live shows, she’s a creative force set to bloom far beyond Iceland.
Palestinian pop visionary Bashar Murad blends electronica, pop, and politics into a dazzling statement of liberation. Known for collaborations with Hatari and a global touring streak, his shows are equal parts protest and euphoric pop spectacle.
One of Mexico’s most captivating voices, Silvana Estrada crafts soul-stirring songs that balance intimacy, poetry, and raw emotional power. With a new album on the horizon, she continues to turn life’s joys and heartbreaks into music that feels both timeless and deeply personal.
Portsmouth-based Italian/Punjabi sisters Baby Said are rewriting the rulebook on rock ‘n’ roll, armed with fiery riffs and unapologetic energy. With festival slots from Glastonbury to SXSW and love from BBC Radio 1, their debut album BS! proves they’re anything but baby steps.
With a voice described by Björk as “somewhere between a child and an old woman,” Ólöf Arnalds is pure Icelandic magic. Her upcoming album Spíra (set for release in December 2025) continues a career hailed as otherworldly, bewitching, and impossibly lovely.
Manchester MC OneDa is a firebrand voice of the UK’s DnB renaissance, fusing hip-hop, Afro, and bass-heavy energy. AIM Award winner, debut album Formula OneDa in the bag, she’s bringing pure Pussy Powered Vibes to Reykjavík.
Flesh Machine channel Berlin angst, Reykjavík grit, and a love of Bowie into dark, electrifying indie. With acclaim from Anthony Fantano to film festival wins, their debut album The Fool is set to break them wide open.
Best friends since sixteen and bonded over lipstick, CYBER (Salka Valsdóttir & Joe) fuse chaos, fun, and fearless genre-bending into their experimental electronic playground. Winners of an Icelandic Music Award and veterans of stages from Sevdaliza to Migos, they’re Reykjavík’s glitter-soaked disruptors.
Reykjavík brothers Prince of the City deliver smooth, sweet indie-pop that feels like cocoa for the ears. With a debut EP due in 2025, they’re soundtracking unrequited love, obsession, and late-night online crushes.
Reykjavík-based producer Knackered blends UK dance grooves, 2000s R&B, and everyday sound oddities into euphoric, genre-bending sets. Her debut EP fyi (set for release this november) is the next step from a scene staple turned standout.
Born in Mexico, blossomed in Iceland, Andervel creates delicate folk that bridges cultures and languages. With songs in Spanish, English, and Icelandic, their music feels like poetry carried on the wind.
Producer, singer, and multi-instrumentalist Sigrún stitches together ethereal electronics, alt-pop drama, and club-ready pulses. Her 2024 album Monster Milk is a bold new chapter from one of Iceland’s most intriguing shapeshifters.
Iceland based Polish producer ZAMILSKA brings seismic bass and industrial grit, weaving techno, noise, and tribal influences into a hypnotic storm. With co-signs from Nine Inch Nails, Dior, and Netflix (yes, really), her sound is as cinematic as it is crushing on the dance floor.
Reykjavík’s Mukka drift through lo-fi psychedelia, layering dreamy synthscapes and hazy mantras into immersive sound journeys. With releases from Study Fun Nr. 1 to 2024’s Study More Nr. 4, they’re masters of sonic daydreams.
Iceland-born, Berlin-based Máni Orrason does a little bit of everything, blending pop, indie, and intimate storytelling into music that feels both fragile and magnetic. With a career shaped by Iceland, Spain, and Berlin, he crafts songs that linger in the heart long after the last note.
