Brazilian producer Pedro Zopelar has made a stunning return with his new EP, Just Like Heaven, released on November 14, 2025, via the respected D3 Elements label. Emerging from the vibrant underground scene of São Paulo, Zopelar is celebrated for his signature “retro-futuristic-funky-groovy” approach, and this four-track collection beautifully demonstrates his musical range and profound depth.
The EP commences with “A World With No War,” an initial piece that is deeply ambient and highly reflective, drawing listeners into a contemplative mood. It sets the stage for a journey, inviting thought on complex societal themes before the energy subtly shifts toward more rhythmic forms. This original take is further enriched by a remix from the legendary Detroit producer Patrice Scott, who masterfully reworks the composition into a purely meditative atmosphere by removing its rhythmic pulse entirely.
A distinct change of pace arrives with “Heaven House,” a cut that powerfully channels a 90s-inspired house rhythm. This piece combines a palpable dancefloor appeal with a warm sensuality, all while retaining the soulful depth that is a hallmark of Zopelar’s productions. The release concludes with “Spiritual Moment,” which begins with intricate broken beats and gracefully evolves into an uplifting Balearic masterpiece, perfectly evoking the feeling of a warm sunset breeze washing over a beach.
Just Like Heaven solidifies Zopelar’s position as a vital artist in contemporary electronic music. The EP masterfully fuses significant emotional resonance with rhythmic soul across its diverse musical textures. It is currently available on vinyl and digital platforms through D3 Elements, representing another significant achievement in Zopelar’s already remarkable body of work.
