Die fünfte Ausgabe der "Made In Iceland"-Compilation ist jüngst erschienen — und zwar nicht nur physisch, sondern auch gratis im Stream. Während Sigur Rós und Björk noch immer als Aushängeschilder der Insel rund um die nördlichste Hauptstadt der Welt dienen, hat Island in letzter Zeit einige der spannendsten Newcomer herausgebracht. Bands wie Retro Stefson , FM Belfast , GusGus und Helgi Jonsson erfreuen sich mittlerweile auch außerhalb des Landes recht großer Beliebtheit. "Made In Iceland V" hält neben diesen auch noch Dreampop-Songs à la Sóley, über tanzbare Electro-Hits von Sykur bis hin zu den Bluesmelodien von Lay Low und einige Geheimtipps bereit ...

Sienkiewicz captivates with the ingenuity of his tracks and his ability to straddle the two worlds of post-internet #trendpieces and the Detroit-embeddedness of the city's techno legacy. Fittingly his most recent (& first “proper”) release is on 100% Silk , a label noted here and in other parts for its successful negotiation of a new-new-media post-everything culture with the weight of dance music history. His 100% Silk tape Frozen Solid is a windswept, murky take on deep house that spans distant and icy piano-house, and seasick higher-energy club transfusions. The mix he's produced for us is predictably sprawling but holds together with a cohesively chilly and isolated vibe. Spanning 4am r&b; tracks thru to the clubby heights of UK Funky and back down to smooth Garage grooves, you're gonna want to get across this one. Frozen Solid ...

Two of our favorite Norwegians, Carl Louis and Martin Danielle, come out with their single "Within You." Their most recent release "FiveAM" featured excellent synths and was unbelievably uplifting.
