MUNINN

maq 22’s latest EP, MUNINN, emerges as a daring statement in contemporary experimental music, a body of work that reshapes sonic form with striking precision. Across six tracks, the project blurs genre boundaries, weaving together the sharp edges of hyperpop, the relentless energy of electronic rap, and the looming weight of dystopian soundscapes. Rather than collapsing under the intensity of its elements, MUNINN achieves a fluidity that feels organic, noise, rhythm, and voice merging into something both volatile and strangely cohesive. The result is not just an EP but a bold exercise in sonic architecture.

Central to this vision is the creative partnership between maq 22 and producer Tiresss, whose chemistry infuses each track with a sense of vitality and tension. Their approach transforms beats into shifting landscapes for maq’s vocal dexterity to inhabit and challenge. Nowhere is this more evident than on “Europa,” a shimmering collaboration with Hellnah and Pastelfuneral that contemplates hidden life while unveiling new dimensions of sound. The EP unfolds as a labyrinthine journey through fear, longing, memory, and desire—an uncompromising exploration of the self. As maq 22 reflects, “MUNINN is a dystopian and visceral exploration of my inner world, delving into themes of existentialism, love, and the battles of the mind.”
