iurisEkero grew up in a house where his grandfather’s vocal recordings played alongside his father’s trumpet practice, but he knew early on he’d take the family’s musical DNA somewhere completely different. The Mendoza-born producer, who now splits time between the USA and Argentina, has channeled that heritage into electronic pop that’s quietly amassed nearly 3 million Spotify streams. Ask him about those numbers, though, and he responds with genuine humility. “I don’t even understand those numbers,” he says. “I just enjoy and am grateful.”
That gratitude colors everything he creates. What he calls “sound exploration” is really a refusal to be boxed in—pop serves as the foundation, but he layers in electronic textures and what he describes as “ethereal vocals,” building atmospheres that feel both immediate and dreamlike. The guy draws inspiration from oddly specific sources: cities at night, red wine, shared silences, and—here’s an interesting one—”the glitch of memories.”
His latest single, “This Summer Night,” dropped August 19th and runs just over three minutes. It’s exactly what you’d expect from someone chasing that specific summer feeling—the one where everything feels possible at 2 AM with the right person beside you. The track joins popular releases like “The Sun, The Wine and You” and “Midnight Drive” in his growing catalog.
The bicultural thing isn’t just biographical padding. You can actually hear it in the music—that Latin warmth he grew up with mixed into contemporary pop production. It’s not forced or calculated. It just exists in the songs, the way an accent slips through when someone gets excited.
“I don’t make music to sound loud,” he explains. “I make music to sound deep.”
That philosophy has connected with audiences beyond what he expected. His YouTube videos have crossed a million views. The streaming numbers keep climbing. He’s working on a new album featuring various guest artists, though details remain under wraps.
What’s refreshing is his approach to success. No grand statements about changing the industry or defining a generation. He just wants listeners to feel that pull to hit replay—whether they’re remembering someone, dancing, or waiting for love to show up.
