Swedish electronic producer Jonas Rathsman was kind enough to carve a little time out of his busy schedule to answer a few quick-fire questions and give us a peak at some of his favorite tracks of the moment. Rathsman recently threw it down at Sound Nightclub alongside Ben Pearce before he darted off to the desert for his Sunday set at Splash House, and of course, before he hits up Bali.
