maq 22’s MUNINN stands as a masterclass in sonic architecture, sculpting noise, rhythm, and voice into something daringly new. The EP’s six tracks don’t sit neatly within genre labels—they stretch them, splinter them, and ultimately dissolve them. Hyperpop’s jagged textures, electronic rap’s pulsating drive, and the weight of dystopian atmospherics all collide, yet the result feels fluid rather than fractured.
At the core of this cohesion lies the synergy between maq 22 and producer Tiresss. Their chemistry is palpable; beats feel designed not only as backdrops but as living organisms for maq’s vocals to spar with. On “Europa”, with its otherworldly shimmer courtesy of Hellnah and Pastelfuneral, the collaboration expands into something transcendent: a meditation on hidden life that doubles as a sonic revelation.
Listening to MUNINN is like stepping into a labyrinth. Each turn presents new textures, new lyrical confrontations—fear, longing, desire, the ghosts of memory. It is bold, restless, and unapologetically forward-thinking. With this project, maq 22 doesn’t just follow a genre’s trajectory—he redraws it.
Speaking on the release, maq 22 comments, “MUNINN is a dystopian and visceral exploration of my inner world, delving into themes of existentialism, love, and the battles of the mind.”
