Enter Brazilian talent Zopelar, known for his work in My Girlfriend and his solo LP on Apron Records. It opens with A1 "Livre" (sample 1), a refreshing, feel-good slice of urban Brazilian fusion-tinged, sophisticated modern crossover deep house, followed by A2 "Be Together" (sample 2), a one-loop sampled soulful and funky crossover groove that feels great. A3 "Modo Aviao" is uniquely cool with its MF DOOM-esque fusion-jazzy sampled beatmaking. B1 "NOX," a PAUL HARDCASTLE-like fusion crossover electro cut, feels somehow nostalgic. And above all, B3 "Boogie da Paz" (sample 3) is perfect beatdown mellow deep house, complete with the euphoric, wistful, balearic crossover fusion synthesizer solo — it really hits home. Highly recommended. (Original Japanese text by COMPUMA)
