Two producers from a small Swedish town with the unpretentious goal to make music for your house party, or maybe just as a nice background to your daily commute or gaming sessions. It doesn’t sound quite like club music, they explain, although they do draw inspiration from the EDM scene (think Marshmello, Avicii or Martin Garrix).
The beloved formula of the dynamic duo, from Mario & Luigi to Axwell & Ingrosso, resonated with Matobi. It wasn’t a calculated career strategy, but rather a consequence of their shared views on life: “We were both kind of whimsical back in the day. By sharing kind of a similar way of thinking that stands out from what is seen as "normal", we had a hard time being accepted in school.”
During their school years, Tobias got interested in playing guitar, while Mattias tried the piano. They met through a common friend and started their musical journey soon after: “We were heavily influenced by Avicii, producing music in the same genre. Then when we reached a certain point we started to experiment with other sounds, rhythms, and ways of arranging our tracks to develop our music.”
The result is a very Swedish down-to-earth approach to songwriting and production, all while not being afraid to do some playful exploration beyond what you would expect of club-influenced music.
Matobi got signed to Rexius Records in 2019 and released their upbeat 2019 single "Time's Up" soon after. The song featured pop hit-maker Sanna Martinez as a topliner.
