Blending a lush mix of atmospheric synths, delicate textures, and heart-rending melodies, “Hurting” marks another defining moment in ZUSO’s sonic evolution. The track showcases a seamless fusion of UK garage and Stutter-house influences—a testament to ZUSO’s ever-evolving musical versatility.

In his own words, ZUSO explains, “I started this idea on a rainy day in my hotel room in London. Originally, it began as a melodic house tune, and 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 up Keelan. His voice complements the smooth energy of the track perfectly and really elevated the whole piece.”

With its emotional depth and infectious rhythm, “Hurting” continues to solidify ZUSO’s place in the Australian electronic music scene and beyond.
