Zoo Brazil

Zoo Brazil is the stage name of John Andersson, a Swedish record producer, songwriter, and DJ based in Stockholm. He has been described as a multiplatinum, Grammy-nominated artist. The name has also appeared in variant forms, including Zoo Brasil, Zoobrazil, Brazil Zoo, and Zoo Brazila, and Andersson has been credited directly under his own name as well.

According to Discogs, Zoo Brazil began as a Swedish DJ and producer duo associated with John Andersson and Johan Emmoth, and later continued under Andersson alone. The project is commonly linked with Swedish house music, reflecting its roots in Scandinavian electronic club culture while operating as a flexible production and DJ alias rather than a fixed band format.

Zoo Brazil’s recorded output has circulated through a range of electronic-focused labels, including FM Recordings, John Henry Records, Selador, Hexagonal Music, and Stil Vor Talent Records. These imprints place the project in contexts spanning house and adjacent club styles, from more traditional dance-floor releases to catalogues known for melodic and underground-leaning electronic music. Alongside label releases, the Zoo Brazil name has also functioned as a credit line for Andersson’s work as a producer and songwriter, reinforcing its role as an umbrella identity across different collaborations and release settings.

Andersson remains the central figure behind Zoo Brazil, with the alias serving as the primary public-facing name for his DJ and production work while he continues to reside and work in Stockholm.
