Italian producer, beatmaker, and bassist Moonbrew returns with his latest EP, A Map of the Human, a masterclass in blending electronica, hip-hop, and jazz into a sound uniquely his own. With this five-track project, Moonbrew delves into the complexities of the human condition, crafting a sonic journey that is as introspective as it is rhythmically compelling.
Each track on the EP explores a distinct facet of human nature: the joy of “Blissfulness”, the beauty of “A World Within a Blossom”, the anxiety of “Life Runs Fast”, the brutality of “Where Shadows Fell”, and the connection of “For Real, Forever”. From lush synthesiser textures and organic basslines to intricate percussion and Moonbrew’s own vocal touches, the EP demonstrates a meticulous attention to detail and a fearless approach to sonic experimentation.
Despite the sophistication of the production, the record maintains an emotional core that resonates deeply. Moonbrew’s intention is clear: this is not just music for listening, but music for reflection. As he notes, “The EP represents a symbolic map of the human experience, placing the human being at the centre, embracing both our wonders and our shadows.” Each track offers a different perspective, a layer of contemplation paired with movement, balancing dreamlike atmospheres with infectious grooves.
Building on the success of his 2019 debut Jazz Hop, which established him as a forward-thinking artist in electronic and jazz fusion circles, Moonbrew continues to expand his creative universe. Surpassing two million streams on Spotify and collaborating with respected labels like Four Files and Vinyl Digital, he proves that technical mastery and emotional depth can coexist seamlessly.
A Map of the Human is a bold statement from an artist unafraid to explore both the light and the shadow within us all. With its cinematic textures, experimental beats, and deeply human themes, Moonbrew offers listeners a map not only of his musical vision but of the shared journey of being human itself.
