We have been doing extensive market research to see how we can make Toggi as famous as Justin Bieber without having to comb his hair backwards (Ok, we tried that, but he just looked silly).Clusters of supercomputers have been crunching our data for reliable predictions and based on this very scientific research, we have gathered the following data:
You are here, and you are reading this. You like good music that you can get for free. You have heard 2,31 Toggi songs. Songs with The Boys Choir of Breiðholt in them are likely to become wildly popular. There is an 83,75% chance that you are going to like this song. If you don't, there is a 1,44% probability that you like Celine Dion and/or Kenny G.

Well, here is a well deserved news roundup for you from the land of good music, beautiful women, rotten shark and our slightly overeager pet volcano Eyjafjallajökull.
YES, WE WON! Arnar's great rendition of an Icelandic classic played it's part in securing the award for Best TV Commercial at the Icelandic Advertising Awards. You can check out all the details about said commercial .:here:. Arnar has been locked in the studio composing the music for his first full length feature film. Rest assured you will have more news of that here later.
YES THEY WON! As we mentioned .:here:. earlier Eberg got 3 nominations for the Icelandic Music Awards. 'Dreamin' by Feldberg won Song Of The Year. Follow Feldberg on Facebook, there is a lot going on there, and you don't want to miss it.
TOGGI NEWS Toggi has finished writing all lyrics to the new album, and we are overdubbing guitars and working in production as we write this. There should be a new single within weeks, this next one will be upbeat and fun, summer is here after all. Well technically, at least here in Iceland. And what do you know? The new single will be free of charge, right here, just as you like it.
NEW STUDIO & BIG CHANGES AHEAD This summer we move our operation to a bigger studio, which is being built now. Furthermore it looks as this summer and the following autumn will be a period of changes in many other exciting ways as well.
Addi 800, a long time collaborator and mixing engineer extraordinaire is building a state of the art studio right next to our (as of yet unnamed!) studio. This can only result in great things, and we look forward to have him as a neighbor.
There will be changes in our line-up, new artists are being signed, and others are changing directions. We will also be extending our services to accommodate the wishes of our clients even better. Lots of them wanted post-production and sound design as well as music, and they will get it, as we open our new facilities.
Last but not least, this site, which has had more success than we ever hoped for, will receive a facelift from our favorite webdesigner. Music buyers, directors and ad agencies will now have access to our full library of available music to their projects, and we hope to look and smell better on the web than we already do. Details of these changes will all be revealed here in good time.
WE LIKE YOUR CONTACT Guys, stay in contact, we love your feedback, we are active on Twitter, have a Fan Page on Facebook for day to day statuses and updates, and a Group on Facebook (where you receive an update to your inbox every time we give away fresh free music)
The photo you see above is a collage of words on this site, made using the brilliant wordle.net. We love it, apart from the fact that boring old MySpace seems to get a better spot than it deserves. Oh well.
It goes without saying that if you like the song you should not keep it to yourself. That would be selfish. Please use all social media tools available to you to spread the gospel.

As we mentioned .:here:. earlier, Olafur's latest work under the moniker of Stafrænn Hákon is ready for aural consumption. It is called 'Sanitas', released by Darla Records in the US and Happy Prince in Asia.
Now we also have a release date for Iceland by one of our favorite labels, Kimi Records. Or at least a release month. Estimates say 23rd of April, but don't blame us if you catch a cold waiting in a queue outside your record shop of choice. It's an estimate.
Well. We've ranted about how much we like Sanitas. We've put up streams of 2 of the songs .:here:.. Now it's high time to give you your own copy of Temporality to enjoy wherever and whenever you see fit.
Please share this link if you like the music. If this gets you all warm and fuzzy inside and excited about buying the album, that's fine as well. If you are in Iceland we just told you how. If you live on the internets, click here for an online purchase.
Remember to pay digital respect to the official homepage and the Facebook Fan page, but don't go to the MySpace site, because MySpace sucks. A lot. And check back here. More free music very soon.
Tonight the Icelandic music business celebrates the music achievements of 2009 on television with live music, awards and impressive hairdos. Yep, it's time for The 2010 Icelandic Music Awards.
You might remember that this time last yearToggiand Bjarki snatched the 'Best Song' award, but tonight we are keeping all available body parts crossed for Einar Tönsberg, orEberg. And we have a good reason to, as he is nominated for 3 important awards.
Feldberg's'Don't be a stranger' is nominated for Pop album of the Year, 'Dreamin' is nominated for Song of the Year, and Einar himself is nominated as Composer of the Year for his work with Feldberg and Eberg. Not too shabby.
