ZOO BRAZIL — Stockholm To Paris EP

Zoo Brazil – Stockholm To Paris EP opens on PHONOGRAMME with catalogue number PHONOGRAMME80, a 12-inch vinyl that stakes a claim in the deep, house-tinged techno corridor. Written, mixed and produced by John Andersson, the record channels the same refined groove and club weight that defined the earlier “Punch Up” while adding a fresh, purposeful momentum from start to finish. The EP sits comfortably within Phonogramme’s 2026 output, following the “Back to the Basics EP (incl. Fred P Remix)” (PHONOGRAMME79) and “Firecracker EP5” (PHONOGRAMME78), and arriving ahead of the label’s upcoming “Colors in dub vol. 1” (PHONOGRAMME71) and “Gaien 2am” (PHONOGRAMME59). Side A begins with “New One”, a track that immediately establishes the record’s deep house sensibility. Its warm, sharp character moves with a steady pulse that feels designed for the centre of the dancefloor, inviting the listener into a groove that is both classic and forward-looking. The second A-side cut, “In The Place”, builds on that foundation, extending the momentum with a subtle shift in atmosphere that keeps the set flowing without breaking the established vibe. Flipping to side B, the EP presents two versions of “To Be With You”. The dub mix, positioned as B1, strips back the arrangement to highlight the track’s spacious depth, offering a hypnotic backdrop that works well for late-night transitions or as a bridge between more kinetic moments. The full version on B2 restores the melodic elements, delivering a fuller, more uplifting statement that caps the record with a sense of resolution while retaining the same club-ready weight introduced on the A-side. Zoo Brazil’s recent output on HOUSEWAX, including the “Ambient House Trilogy” series (HZB-1 through HZB-3) and the “Stand Alone EP” (HWX-01LTD), has explored more atmospheric terrain, but “Stockholm To Paris EP” re-asserts a house-centric focus that aligns with Phonogramme’s reputation for deep, dub-inflected techno. The record therefore occupies a distinct place both in the artist’s catalogue—showcasing a shift back toward classic house structures—and within the label’s 2026 narrative, sitting between earlier deep-tech releases such as “SOST 1” (PHONOGRAMME76) and the forthcoming, more experimental offerings later in the year. For DJs, the EP offers a coherent four-track journey that can be deployed in a variety of set contexts. “New One” and “In The Place” provide solid opening material for a warm-up or a mid-set groove, while the two “To Be With You” cuts give flexibility: the dub mix works as a mood-setter or a transition tool, and the full version can serve as a peak-time statement without losing the record’s overall understated elegance. Collectors will appreciate the continuity of John Andersson’s production aesthetic across Phonogramme releases and the way the EP bridges the label’s earlier deep-tech output with its upcoming, more experimental material. The record is pressed as a 12-inch vinyl, matching the format of the surrounding Phonogramme catalogue and offering the tactile experience expected by vinyl enthusiasts. Its side-sequenced structure reinforces a narrative flow that rewards both attentive listening and club play.
