66 Degrees of Sound
Welcome to 66 Degrees of Sound, a show by The Reykjavík Grapevine bringing you all the latest music releases in Iceland. The Reykjavík Grapevine is an English language magazine published 18 times a year, focusing on all things Iceland-related. Launched in 2003, the independent magazine has long been a leading voice in Icelandic culture.
In this show made for music lovers and Icelandophiles, Grapevine journalists Rex Beckett and Jóhannes Bjarkason discuss and play some of the latest new music releases in Iceland.
The show releases three episodes per week. Artist Spotlight on Tuesdays, where the hosts are joined by a musician; Hot Happenings on Thursdays, where some of the most exciting events in Reykjavík are covered; and Saturday Morning Mix on Saturdays, featuring a curated playlist for your weekend's delight.
This show is produced by the Reykjavík Grapevine.

Oh no we messed up! "We" being Rex's internet in their new place, as moving and technology didn't go hand in hand. Wish we could blame mercury-in-gatorade for it but it wasn't even there.
So last week's Saturday Morning Mix comes to you on a Monday afternoon instead, because better late than never. It's also going to have to tide you over until next week, as illness has struck and we won't be able to get a cycle out this week. The hits keep coming and they don't stop coming, as they say.
Luckily this playlist is all-star all around, with sweet new tunes from Viktor Orri Árnason & Álfheiður Erla Guðmundsdóttir, SiGRÚN, Matching Drapes, CYBER, and ANSI. We sure do love an ALL CAPS artist name, eh.
Tune back in with us next Tuesday May 7th for another Artist Spotlight and catch our new issue of the Grapevine hitting the streets on Friday May 3rd!
