Max Brown x Movement: Your City Playlist
As you stroll through the streets of Vienna, Berlin, Düsseldorf, Milan, or Amsterdam, you can listen to songs inspired by the places you see or by the artists that call these cities home. Even some of our most seasoned music fans might discover a new favourite (or two) to add to their playlists.
Here’s just a glimpse of the selection you can find on Spotify from our Max Brown x Movement city playlists.
VIENNA
Vienna is known as the classical music capital, but its music scene goes far beyond that. From ’80s icon Falco to Austrian pop influencer Reinhard Fendrich, the city embraces both old and new sounds. Acts like Buntspecht, Bilderbuch, and Wanda add to Austria’s eclectic music scene, while Sofie Royer, Mayberg, and BIBIZA can be found headlining at festivals across the country. Listen here.
BERLIN
Berlin’s music scene is as diverse as its residents. From David Bowie’s ‘Heroes,’ about the fall of the Berlin Wall, to the iconic Nina Hagen, known as the godmother of German punk – there’s something for everyone. Today, the techno scene pulsates throughout the city, led by producers like Moderat, the Kalkbrenner siblings, Paul and Fritz, or the Keinemusik Label Crew. And within that scene, electronic beats by M.A.N.D.Y and Booka Shade also shape Berlin’s city soundtrack today. Listen here.
DÜSSELDORF
You would be remiss to skip Düsseldorf on your music journey. From Krautrock icons Neu! to electronic pioneers Kraftwerk and hits from the Neue Deutsche Welle, the city has music legends spanning all decades. There’s so much more to discover from this German city. Listen here.
MILAN
Milan has been a center for music and culture for centuries. From the classical sounds of La Scala opera house to the best Italo Disco from the ’70s and ’80s, the city offers a blend of tradition and international appeal. Explore the iconic Teatro alla Scala and the fusion of disco, funk, and Latin that defined an era with artists like Pino D’Angiò and Raffaella Carrà. Listen here.
AMSTERDAM
In Amsterdam, you’ll find a mix of rising R&B, soul, electronic, and new age pop. Explore artists like RIMON, a Dutch-Eritrean with emotive songwriting, and Jarreau Vandal, a DJ echoing his parents’ dance legacy. For avant-garde listeners, check out Sevdaliza, a former basketball player turned musician, and BEA1991, an eclectic audio-visual artist. Each artist adds a unique touch to Amsterdam’s vibrant soundscape. Listen here.
