For many, the thought of electronic music brings up images of loud, sterile, robotic beats at a trendy, drugged-out dance party.

But Brazilian artist Gui Boratto shows a different side of the genre on the transcendent “Beautiful Life,” the centerpiece of his debut album. The song sounds less like a sweaty rave at midnight and more like a summer sunrise, as the keyboard melodies and programmed drums pulse with a palpable warmth.

At eight and a half minutes, it may be too long and repetitive for someone not accustomed to electronic music. But as guest vocalist Luciana Villanova’s sings the hook, “What a beautiful life / what a beautiful world,” Boratto’s piece feels like it has the power to melt the ice off anybody’s heart.

From the album “Chromophobia” (2007).
