Introducing Zuke: the electronic project from producer & synth-wizard, Ed Zuccollo. Described as “an exploratory journey into the physicality of deep bass, with a taste for the cinematic”, Zuke’s genre-fluid, instrumental productions have been extensively road tested on festival sound systems throughout the country.

Over the last 20 years, Ed Zuccollo has honed his skills as a musician while immersed in the vibrant Wellington music scene. He has performed or recorded with artists such as TrinityRoots, Troy Kingi, Drax Project, The Black Seeds, Rhian Sheehan, Opiuo, Kita, and many more.

Ed began DJing drum & bass in the mid-2000s, which sparked his passion for electronic music. From his home studio, he explored and refined his writing and production techniques, utilizing a collection of vintage synths and analog equipment. At the heart of his music is the Minimoog synthesizer, which has become an essential element of his signature sound as Zuke. 

Zuke's long-awaited debut album will feature tracks handpicked from an extensive archive of recordings, carefully chosen to tell a story without words. Elements of jungle, dubstep, downtempo, house, and ambient field recordings fuse together, creating a blend of melodic beauty and deep bass. Over the next few months, Loop will release a series of singles, remixes, and alternate versions, showcasing the diversity of this artist.
