MATTY MEANS BUSINESS unveils a club energy on new release “The Only Ice”

Honk Magazine Default

MATTY MEANS BUSINESS’s latest release “The Only Ice”  is a bold song that mixes high-energy club appeal with a subject that needs to be heard. The track sounds exactly like what you’d expect from a hype-driven record, it has a steady beat, plenty of energy, and a sound that gets people moving. But there is something more planned underneath that.

That difference is what makes the song work, Matty blends the message and the music rather than separating them. This lets the beat carry the weight of the topic while remaining easy to understand. It feels like a deliberate balance, the sound draws people in, and then they have something to think about.

“The Only Ice” shows that club music doesn’t have to be separate from real life. It can show it, question it, and still keep people moving. Matty Means Business’s new song is more than just a track, it’s a statement set to music that is meant to be heard beyond the dance floor.

Gus Ormo finds a gentle balance of sound on latest release “Claroscuro (APAPE)”

Gus Ormo

Gus Ormo‘s latest release, “Claroscuro (APAPE),” is an instrumental piece built from a carefully selected set of sounds. Clean shakers, piano, bass, trumpet, flutes, acoustic guitars, drums, lead guitar, and tambs make up the track. The vocal element is absent from the foreground; the instruments themselves establish the piece’s character.

The arrangement shows the contrast of its different textures. Bass and piano provide the grounding, with trumpet and flutes supplying the melodic color. Congas, drums, and shakers provide percussion, while the acoustic and lead guitars enrich the instrumental palette. These elements are incorporated into the song’s somber mood, but it remains mostly soft and emotion-driven.

What appeals to “Claroscuro (APAPE)” is its dedication to an instrumental expression that is soft on the heart. It’s not the words that convey the mood; it’s the instruments. Gus Ormo combines strings of rhythm, melody, and texture to produce a piece that sounds deliberately restrained, and each section contributes to the overall musical picture.

Gus Ormo brings warmth and tenderness on latest release “Latidos”

Gus Ormo

Gus Ormo’s latest release, “Latidos,” is an instrumental, so it must rely on its musicianship to carry the emotional weight. Instead of a vocal to guide the listener, the arrangement features clean shakers, piano, bass, trumpet, flutes, acoustic guitars, drums, lead guitar, and tambs. The combination is a well-layered musical setting, with a somber character and a soft approach to the heart.

The piano and guitars add important touches to the arrangement, the trumpet and flutes add more color. Percussion, congas, drums, and clean shakers add movement but don’t detract from the gentle nature of the track. The bass anchors the song, while the lead and acoustic guitars provide an additional layer to the instrumental mix.

What sets “Latidos” apart is the quiet emotional intent. Instead of singing of its feeling, the piece creates a solemn and tender atmosphere with its collection of instruments. Still, Gus Ormo’s method stresses the connection between the instruments. It is an instrumental piece that should touch the heart with softness and not in excess.
