How We Met
by Zuke / 2024
Release Notes
New Zealand-based electronic producer Zuke (Ed Zuccollo) returns with his latest release, ‘How We Met’, a lush fusion of downtempo and organic house, layered with deep ambient chords and elements of acid. The track is the latest release from Zuke’s debut album Come Closer, set for release December 13.
Zuke reflects on the inspiration behind the track: “‘How We Met’ evokes a sense of wonder, mystery, and significance—like a story waiting to be told. It’s not about a person, a moment, or a thing, but about the magic of feeling wonder without needing to define it. It feels warm and intimate, like a story that has been unfolding for a long time, yet still holds space for the unknown.”
The single also features a remix by Nourish, the newly formed duo of longtime friends and collaborators Katie Double and Paige Julia. Nourish combines Katie's musical artistry on harp and electronic instrumentation, with Paige's experience in crafting dancefloor-driven beats. This remix marks the first official release under the Nourish alias.
“We took our favorite elements from the original track, slowed them right down, and added our own bass, drums, and percussion in line with our style,” says Paige of Nourish.
Zuke’s anticipated debut album, Come Closer, will be released worldwide on December 13 on Loop Recordings Aot(ear)oa’s new sub-label, Loop Electronic.
