Estiva releases 'Embrace'

The release of Embrace is here as Estiva presents his most personal and dynamic body of work to date. The Dutch producer, known for his ability to bridge progressive house, melodic techno, and club-driven energy, has spent years refining his sound. His journey, from early releases on Anjunabeats, and Armada to cementing his homestay with Colorize, has been one of evolution, both in sound and purpose. 

Embrace is a culmination of that process, shaped by his experiences on the road, long hours in the studio, and a desire to create something that resonates beyond the dancefloor.

At its core, Embrace is an exploration of contrasts, solitude and connection, tension and release. The album opens with its title track, originally written as a standalone piece but naturally evolving into the project’s defining statement. It sets the tone with its dreamy flow, using AI-enhanced vocals to add a hypnotic & meditative edge. From there, it unfolds through tracks like Shores, a product of a writing camp experience, and All Night, which shifts the mood with a playful, bouncing bassline. Parlez-Vous leans into spontaneity, built around Estiva’s own processed vocals, while Little Love draws on his love for the atmospheric sound of Tiësto’s In Search of Sunrise series. KFIL, a track that sat unreleased for years before finding its moment now, and Lonely Keys, designed purely for the club, highlights his ability to craft high-energy, groove-driven cuts. As the album progresses, the deeper, more emotional side emerges in Satellite, where vocals take center stage, and Feel Alive and E.T. Dust, which channels the trance influences that first shaped Estiva’s career. Closing with No Echoes, a stripped-back, ambient-leaning moment, Embrace leaves listeners suspended in reflection, completing in a state of dreamlike. 

Estiva's releases have previously made waves on Beatport's Progressive House charts, with Via Infinita reaching #1 and Estiva currently holding the position of #7 best-selling Progressive House Artist Worldwide. His tour schedule continues to see him sell out headline shows across major cities, including NYC, Chicago, Denver, London, and Amsterdam, and perform at major festivals such as Tomorrowland, Ultra, and Creamfields.

Estiva's relentless touring schedule has shaped not only his sound but his entire creative process, with a breadth of experience that refined his understanding of what truly moves an audience. The album Embrace was built for these spaces, crafted with the precision of someone who has spent years reading dancefloors and testing ideas in real-time, but it is equally designed for introspection, mirroring the balance Estiva has learned to navigate in his own life.

With the album’s release, Estiva is celebrating in a way that embodies its spirit bringing Embrace to life with a performance on the canals of Amsterdam during King’s Day. A moving set in every sense, this intimate showcase will capture the essence of the album, surrounded by the city’s vibrant atmosphere.

With Embrace, Estiva solidifies his position at the forefront of melodic electronic music. The album is a testament to years of artistic growth, patience, experimentation, and unwavering passion. Embrace embodies Estiva's journey and showcases his current artistic vision, hinting at the endless possibilities that lie ahead.
