as in ZOUK WHAT? What is that? Cuz sadly we hear that too often.
Brought to you by one of the most mysterious men in the Zouk Bass game. Hugo Haze has definitely played his role in the movement by releasing a series of mixes titled Night of Zouk (all on his soundcloud) in which he highlighted some of your favorite producers in the game. Not only has he been steady with the support for the genre as you can see he has also been actively producing his own gems to contribute to the movement.
Zoukwa hypnotizes you with complex percussive loops touching on taraxao influences, snaps you back into reality with warped reggaeton vocals echoing and attacks you with a blitzkrieg of sharp synths to wake up those hips and get ya body movin.
