The longtime moniker of independent electronic producer and multi-instrumentalist Ernesto Couso, The Ekuba Project (TEP) makes a long-awaited return to unleash his high-octane new signature track, “Nitro (No Fear). The single is a powerful testament to over a decade of sonic evolution, from his latest studio album, Midnight Asphalt (2026). Couso takes care of writing, arrangement, and execution completely on his own, steering clear of the typical commercial EDM clichés to produce a driving, late-night electronic anthem based solely on raw energy and natural creative instincts.
The sound of “Nitro (No Fear)” hits a perfect sweet spot between the driving, groove-heavy architecture of house and the darker, cinematic industrial sounds. The song has a strong, uncompromising tone from the very first sequence, powered by heavy synth configurations and a relentless, fast-paced percussion arrangement. The self-recorded album allows its textures to soar effortlessly, with dense synthetic waves and subtle melodic shifts layered atop an incisive final mix, yet still with an altogether club-ready edge.
Who is The Ekuba Project ?
Ekuba Project is an electronic fusion music project started in 2010 by Cuban musician and IT executive Ernesto Couso. The project’s artistic proposal is an innovative combination of Latin rhythms and world music textures with experimental electronic sounds, synthesizers, and traditional Afro-Cuban percussion. Ernesto Couso was born and raised in Cuba and lived in Ecuador before settling in San Antonio, Texas. This has had a great deal to do with his diverse and global approach to music.
