Peace to Mateo is the moniker of Michigan music producer Matt Black. The debut self-titled *Peace to Mateo (2015)* album is an eclectic tonal collage that showcases Black’s early affinity for fast-twitch sample chops, battle breaks, and sci-fi theatrics.
The follow up album *Some Strange Reason (2018)* shifted downtempo, eschewed samples, and defined Black’s sound as cinematic instrumental hip-hop.
Drawing heavily from Trip-Hop and Dub, the hypnotic rhythms found on *Some Strange Reason* echo into Black’s most recent album *Slow Trip Home (2024),* and infused with a touch of Psych-Rock.
*Slow Trip Home* was seleased on Naturally Digital, an imprint under the Young Heavy Souls label, in May 2024. It features a narrative through line inspired the Twilight Zone episode “The Midnight Sun,” which led to the creation of single by the same name. **The album makes heavy use of Casio’s MG-510 MIDI guitar. The instrument served the dual function of electric guitar and midi controller, leading to a unique writing process that differs from Black’s earlier albums.
