Spanglish Boom-Bap Trio Grupo HNE drop debut LP and new single!
After a short break, The prolific DJ Heron returns with a new episode of his web-series House Of Heron! Presented by Gridlock Production House the twelve part series invites top Miami, Florida emcees into Heron’s studio to do a blindfold record pull from his collection which he then cooks an original beat from and the emcee spits to resulting in a new single. This time around the guests are DJ Exes (emcee) and Nando (multi-instrumentalist)who are in the trio Grupo HNE with Heron.
Pulling a Billy Joel and Dr. John LP the cook-up in the episode resulted in the single “Golden Tone” a soulful and crackin’ dose of Spanglish boom-bap.
Coincidentally Grupo HNE is dropping their debut album today as well. This follows a string of singles and videos already released that appear on the album (links below).

Two years ago, Naomi Aguilera walked onto my radar with EGO, an infectious soulful pop debut that made it impossible not to move. Fast forward to her debut EP Mosaïques, and it was clear she wasn’t just passing through. Personal, colorful, rooted in her Spanish heritage & Brussels upbringing, it even earned her a spot as Apple Music Benelux’s Up Next artist!
Now she’s back with BB ILY, marking the start of a new era. The bilingual single — French and English — is built around one of the most universal human experiences: that special connection that doesn’t need translation. Where EGO invited you to forget your ex on the dancefloor, BB ILY pulls you somewhere more intimate: with sultry beats courtesy of Turana, it’s a dance where gestures, whispers, sighs and the sound of a voice matters more than the words that come out of it… It’s sensual, a little mystical, and entirely her own.
First taste of Naomi Aguilera’s upcoming project Ojalá, due in 2027, it feels effortlessly catchy. This is the kind of track that casts its spell quietly, with interesting and unexpected rhythmic shifts in the verses, and a delicious chorus that lodges itself in your head before you even notice. By the time you do, it’s too late. But you won’t find me complaining about it!
