From IMX:
It's difficult to think of Iceland without thinking of superlative music. From Bjork and The Sugarcubes, Sigur Ros, Gus Gus, Emiliana Torarini, Mum and Mugison to name a few, this small and remote North Atlantic nation has punched well above its weight over the last two decades.
If anything, the island's incessant soundtrack is growing ever more dynamic, as artists and bands, inspired by the continual international success of their peers, continue to create original, world class music.
IMX is an exciting new part privately and part governmentally funded initiative which aims to bring together the disparate strands of Iceland's eclectic scene under one roof. By increasing access to information about artists, collaborating with companies to promote Icelandic music abroad and organizing marketing strategies, festival and event participation, IMX will increase the visibility of Icelandic music in the international sphere, and provide an essential one-stop resource for all.
