Kuzko are Danique van der Vlugt and Sam Ouwehand, two artists who do everything themselves. They may be Rotterdam-based, but their music has international potential. Their catchy synth-pop will go down well with fans of acts like Confidence Man, Sofi Tukker and Purple Disco Machine. Meanwhile, their lyrics are witty, and deal with everything from consumerism and high school dramas to cliché love adventures.

As they recently proved with their show at the ESNS 2022 festival, Kuzko are a fun live act. But don’t be mistaken, they’re skilled musicians as well, and Van der Vlugt is a really good singer. During the set they played tracks off their first EP Teardrops On The Dancefloor. But they also premiered two brand-new songs: Rich And Famous and Penelope.

The latter is the duo’s new single. In the best Kuzko tradition it’s a colourful tune with plenty ‘80s influences and another one of their contagious vocal hooks. Sure to put a smile on your face! Penelope is the first track to be released ahead of their sophomore EP that’s scheduled to appear this spring.
