ZUSO: Rising Star in Atmospheric House Music
ZUSO, led by Australian producer Gabriel Cuenca, is making waves in the realm of atmospheric house music, attracting a growing global audience. In October 2023, Gabriel collaborated with the Sydney-based collective LOVE CLVB to release his single ‘Hold Me.’ The track quickly gained recognition, resonating with music lovers and industry tastemakers around the world.
New Release: ‘In The Dark’
As he approaches the new year, Gabriel has just released his latest track, the serene atmospheric piece titled ‘In The Dark.’ Featuring the enchanting vocals of Californian artist KORA, this song showcases ZUSO’s remarkable production skills and unique style, seamlessly fusing downtempo elements with an energetic liquid drum and bass rhythm.
“I wanted to give this song a bit of a dark tone whilst also making it still fun and hooky. It’s written from the perspective of being left in the unknown, whether that’s in a relationship or with someone that’s special to you. It draws upon those emotions with a somewhat gloomy but optimistic feel. I wanted to make it fun whilst also painting that picture and feel, the fast tempo drums and breakbeats make it more uplifting and contrasts quite nicely with that theme. Overall, it was a fun song to write, big ups to Kora as well who sings the lead vocal, her voice really brought the song to life and adds such a hooky layer to the song. Hope you all enjoy it.” ~ ZUSO
