Gudmundur Ingi Gudmundsson, born 1970, has been making music for almost 20 years under the synonym Murya. Until recently he has been working, polishing and mastering his musical technique in the shadows of his own basement.  In the year 2009 his first release saw the day of light as the track Grey Daze got noticed by the highly-respected Ultimae Records through Myspace and featured on their compilation entitled Imaginary Friends. In more recent times he has been polishing his debut album, Crystalline Substances, which will be due for release on Möller Records early 2012. Now in 2014 we will be expecting an avalanche of synthpop frenzy from his pseudonym Buspin Jieber (no affiliation to that Canadian guy)

JIRI - #eaf4fc (Kid Sune Remix)

Twin Pines is the debut release of Forvitinn on the Raftonar output. He offers us a good variety of electronic poems – from the melancholic tale of a polar bear in capture in Mad Polar Bear, the thumping „4 to the floor“ of Third with a hint of melancholy, the club-banging remix of Third in the hands of the Icelandic tech-house wonder Terrordisco, the uplifting mind-boggling indie-pop of You Fought Soldier and the painfully beautiful modern classical piece of Even. Altogether this EP is a beautiful example of the complexity of Forvitinn‘s musical approach – offering something so delicate and sincere.
  
The Berlin-based Forvitinn is an enigmatic and daring artist. Aside from experimenting with music, he has made a reputable career as a painter, sculpturer as well as contributing to various video art and media art performances. He has done collaborations, for example with the respected choreographer Constanza Macras and the cellist Gyda Valtýrsdóttir (former member of the folktronica ensemble Múm) –as well with the Icelandic electronica veteran Ruxpin.

Forvitinn - Even

Released 8th of September 2016

Terrordisco has been one of the leading forces in the Icelandic club scene for many years. The former FM Belfast percussionist made his name as one of the most inventive DJs in Reykjavik, while his edits of Icelandic tracks from the psychedelic and new-wave eras have cult status on Icelandic dancefloors. Despite being famous for his talent behind the decks, he’s stepping forward as a producer, showcasing an ability honed through years of collaborations and remixes, with his debut EP entitled Fyrst. 
The beat-driven Fyrst showcases his recent productions, with inspirations from sources such as The Field, Art of Noise and Percussions. 
This five track EP spans a wide range of emotions – from the calmly muscular mechanical groove of Terragon Sunset, to the gratifying afro-house beat of Broad Hill Shuffle and all the way to a painfully fragile and beautiful chillout vibes of Hekla – named after the Icelandic volcano, which despite its tranquil and beautiful exterior can erupt at any moment with devastating results.
Raftonar is the Icelandic record label known for high-quality electronic music, early releases of future superstars and purveyors of the quietly seminal. Fyrst is the 12th release on the label.
