DJ Margeir is the Golden Calf making sacrifices on the sonic altar for the lost hordes. His infamy is forged from ironclad production, blistering DJ sets and a twisted sense of humour that keeps his disciples coming back religiously.
Margeir who founded Sonar festival in Reykjavik, was one half of Gluteus Maximus and a founding father of Radio Bongo, from the mighty Kompakt stable – alongside friend and collaborator President Bongo of GusGus fame.
As a club DJ, Margeir has circled the globe, laying down the gospel since the early ‘90. DJ Margeir and his Symphony Orchestra, conducted by Samuel Samuelsson and featuring members of the Icelandic Symphony Orchestra, takes audiences on an aural adventure they’re not likely to forget.
Margeir’s Blue Lagoon baptisms are legendary, his water-borne party sets ferrying crowds to an otherworldly land of musical plenty. The first of his acclaimed Blue Lagoon Soundtracks went gold.
The stunning Put A Bullet is an initial collaboration with artist EARTH of GusGus fame. The unmistakable touch of EARTH’s melodic and lyrical genius is perfectly executed by Iceland’s rising star MATTHILDUR, who features on the track. Already an award-winning musician, MATTHILDUR lends soulful beauty and sophisticated depth to the destined collaboration, which some have called an “instant classic.”
Testify.
