GusGus was initially formed in 1995 as a film/music collective. This spawned a short film and a critically acclaimed best selling album in Iceland.

After striking a deal with 4AD in 1996 they became one of the most sought after electronic music acts out of Iceland. With the release of Polydistortion (4AD/Warner) in 1997, GusGus solidified their worldwide status to sold-out shows all over the world.

GusGus has had a span of nearly two decades in which they have done nearly every style of electronic influenced music. From techno to trip-hop, from house to progressive house/trance to pop, this collective has made each style their own. 

The current line up consists of founding members: Biggi Veira and Daníel Ágúst. With their latest release Mexico, GusGus once again present the audience with magical soundscapes that go from synth-pop Obnoxiously Sexual to deep techno Mexico to progressive house Airwaves and the chart topping stomper Crossfade. The combination of the vocal artistry of Daníel Ágúst surrounded by mesmerizing electronics, haunting grooves, with subtle string and brass arrangements blending in, creates a very unique and powerful sound produced by mastermind Biggi Veira which has been leaving audiences clamoring for more.

Lies Are More Flexible due in February 2018, first single Featherlight out in January 2018.
