Our trip of a lifetime is coming to a close and on our final day I find myself reflecting on the things that made it so great and the impact it's had on me and our Northern Lights competition winners, Oliver Tank and Rainbow Chan.

Of course, there's the music. Some fantastic international favourites including SBTRKT (in Sydney October 22 for the FBi Presents MUSICA Event), Tune-Yards (in Sydney early 2012 for a show presented by FBi), Owen Pallet, Active Child, Consortium Musicium (the improvisational jam band featuring Sean Lennon and Greg Saunier from Deerhoof) and many, many more. But the highlight has been the quality and diversity of Iceland's own music scene. Check out the videos and audio links below for FBi's picks from the local 'Airwaves Class of 2011'.
