Greetings! So that you may enjoy your visit to Intros soundscape even more here are some background info & facts. Raised in western Reykjavik, Intro couldnt help but beeing swept away by a sudden surge in Icelandic hip hop music and culture around the mid-90s. Finding his place behind the decks he soon became one of Icelands finest turntablists, rocking parties, battles and competitions, earning him local titles as well as final positions in some international DJ battles (Vestax Extravaganza Semi Finals in Stockholm 2001 & Vestax Extravaganza World finals 2002 in London,NOW ON DVD!!!). But in early 2000 his enthusiastic approach towards turntablism was put on hold by a new found passion: BEATS! Thats right, BEATS!!! After many late night sessions with good friend and Crazy ass producer ,EARMAX, Intro knew where he truly belonged. Only by diving into the world of sampling and cratediggin’ could he start to harvest his musical potential.

Around the same time Intro and five other young Reykjavik artists came together in EARMAXs studio to record a few tracks for Mr.Slims Analog EP. Most of them had either been in groups that split up, or were looking for people to work with, so it was just a perfect fit and the crew Forgotten Lores (www.myspace.com/forgottenlores) was founded. Since the release of their critically acclaimed debut album in 2003, featuring Intro on the boards & decks alongside Diddi Felix and DJ Bruff, hes been producing for various artists, including the Human Substance project with MC Rain of TMC and the much-awaited-soon-to-drop album Arkir with fellow FL member and vocalist Byrkir. A graduate from the SAE school of audio engineering in Amsterdam, Now stop reading and enjoy the beats. peace!
