Iceland’s Lagaffe Tales label will soon release a new four-track various artist sampler, titled Tale of Tales: Chapter 02.

Lagaffe Tales was founded in 2012 “at a time when a new generation of artists started to emerge into the small local house scene in Reykjavik,” explains one of the label founders, Viktor Birgisson. “There was a need for a structure around all this new music and we decided to take the step to make the label.”

Tale of Tales: Chapter 02 comes after a tremendous 2016 which saw the imprint drop two house-orientated 12″s, namely David & Hjalti’s RVK Moods and Moff & Tarkin’s Big Mango Bangers. With the new “sampler” due, Viktor and Jónbjörn sourced help from the few that made the label what it is today, including Felix Leifur (David & Hjalti), Coeo, and Moony Me.

According to the label, the four-tracker “is permeated in jazz, drunken drums, dream state synths and all embedded in a tight meld of perfected mixing.”

The identity of the Lagaffe Tales artwork is all designed by Jónbjörn.
