Capping off his most prolific year in the studio to date, Brazilian electronic producer and DJ Coppola announces the arrival of his debut full-length album, Sandbox Dreams. Marking the latest chapter in the São Paulo native’s rapidly ascending career, the album stands as a bold and heartfelt statement; a work that transcends borders and genres, weaving together emotion, rhythm and imagination into a singular sonic vision. A culmination of Coppola’s musical evolution, Sandbox Dreams is a deeply personal and exploratory body of work. Both playful and profoundly dynamic, it’s a record that blurs the lines between the dancefloor and the dream world, inviting listeners into a space where rhythm and imagination coexist. Across eleven finely crafted tracks, Coppola paints with a vivid palette of sound, moving fluidly from the pulse of house and the shimmer of disco to the intimacy of soul and the cinematic textures of electronica and downtempo. Layered vocal performances, organic instrumentation and intricate rhythms intertwine with a sense of freedom and curiosity that feels at once sophisticated and spontaneous. Ultimately, the album’s title becomes its guiding metaphor: a musical sandbox where Coppola experiments with feeling, form and texture, transforming youthful wonder into mature artistic expression. “Sandbox Dreams is about rediscovering the joy of creation,” says Coppola. “It’s me allowing myself to play again; to mix sounds, genre and ideas without limits. Every track represents a moment of curiosity and together they tell a story about growth, movement and imagination.”
On stage, Coppola has already performed at some of Brazil’s most iconic venues and festivals, including Ultra Music Festival, Universo Paralello, D.EDGE, Green Valley, Ame Club, Café de la Musique and Laroc, in addition to São Paulo’s underground institutions Ressonância, Pressure, and Take Me Under. Each appearance has reinforced his reputation as a technically skilled and emotionally intuitive performer, capable of connecting with audiences through both subtlety and intensity. With Sandbox Dreams, Coppola now steps onto the international stage with renewed confidence. The album stands not only as a showcase of his sonic craftsmanship, but also as a testament to the creative synergy between Brazil’s new generation of producers and the global community that continues to embrace their sound. Guided by Gui Boratto’s mentorship and D.O.C. Records’ forward-thinking ethos, Coppola’s debut marks the arrival of an artist whose music is as heartfelt as it is visionary
