ZUSO, spearheaded by Australian producer Gabriel Cuenca, is carving out an exciting niche in atmospheric house music that has begun to earn it a global fanbase. In October 2023, Gabriel teamed up with Sydney-based collective LOVE CLVB for the release of his single 'Hold Me'. The song quickly garnered widespread praise and captured the ears of music enthusiasts and tastemakers around the world.
As he heads into the new year, Gabriel recently unveiled his latest work, the calm and atmospheric piece titled 'In The Dark'. Featuring the ethereal vocal talents of Californian artist KORA, the song is another testament to ZUSO's exceptional production prowess and distinctive style, expertly combining downtempo elements with a liquid, punchy drum and bass beat.
“I wanted to give this song a bit of a dark tone and at the same time make it fun and engaging. It is written from the perspective of being left in the unknown, whether in a relationship or with someone who is special to you. It draws on those emotions with a somewhat somber but optimistic feel. I wanted to make it fun and at the same time paint that image and that feeling, the fast tempo drums and breakbeats make it more inspiring and contrast quite well with that theme. Overall it was a fun song to write, kudos to Kora too who sings the lead vocals, her voice really brought the song to life and adds such a hooky layer to it. I hope everyone enjoys.” ~ ZUSO
