Rising Australian electronic producer ZUSO (aka Gabriel Cuenca) makes a powerful return this week with the release of his deeply moving new single, Hurting , featuring the evocative vocals of Melbourne – based artist Keelan Mak .
Blending a lush mix of atmospheric synths, delicate textures, and heart – rending melodies, Hurting marks another defining moment in ZUSO’s sonic evolu tion. The track showcases a seamless fusion of UK garage and Stutter – house influences — a testament to ZUSO’s ever – evolving musical versatility.
“I started this idea on a rainy day in my hotel room in London. Originally, it began as a melodic house tune, a nd I was experimenting with vocal chops to fit the groove. Eventually, it shifted into this UKG/stutter – house vibe. I kept refining it on the flight home and wrapped it up when I landed back in Sydney. I knew it needed something extra — that’s when I hit u p Keelan. His voice complements the smooth energy of the track perfectly and really elevated the whole piece.” ~ ZUSO
With its emotional depth and infectious rhythm, Hurting continues to solidify ZUSO’s place in the Australian electronic music scene and beyond.
