Thorgerdur is an Icelandic DJ and producer mainly based in Oslo, with second bases both in Iceland, Berlin and Amsterdam. With background as a classically trained pianist and a singer-songwriter, she began playing vinyl late 2014, had her first gig in 2015, and has since then proven herself as a great selector with a unique ability to curate groovy and engaging sets. She loves to travel through different kinds of styles, exploring how they together create an effortless flow, focusing on the vibe rather than any specific style or genre. She regularly plays her eclectic and unpredictable sets in both Oslo’s and Iceland’s most respected venues.
If you were lucky, you might have previously caught her playing one of her excitingly eclectic and surprising sets that are often daring and full of flare, at places like Bravó or Kaffibarinn in Iceland, which is the where she originally fell in love with electronic music, only few years before she moved to Oslo in 2013 and got introduced to the Oslo-underground scene, which is where she started DJing herself.
