Electronica Reykjavik is the story of a revolution in music. The electronic and house music of the late 80’s and early 90’s not only made a generation, but affected a whole other generation of musicians. A scene of mostly underground and avant-garde Icelandic electronic artists emerged, many of which are portrayed in the film. Be prepared for the deepest rhythms of nature and – above all – a very sexy party. The film gives rare insight into the early days of Icelandic dance music as it features footage from clubs long gone and hairstyles better forgotten as well as performances from artists such as Anonymous, Biogen, GusGus, Ghostigital and many more:
