Curated by: Mattis

Swedish rap artist Mattis is known for releasing his lyrics before the actual songs, giving fans a “read-the-book-before-you-watch-the-movie” twist on music. Under his own label, Mvh, he not only releases music but also organizes live events and runs the magazine Mvh Magasin. We even had the pleasure of co-hosting an Mvh event with Mattis in our Malmö store earlier this year.

Mattis' Curated by playlist is a personal selection of the songs he's been playing on repeat lately—an eclectic mix of salsa, jazz, rap, and everything in between. It includes something new, something old, and something blue (ofc).
