Estiva Drops Fifth Studio Album, ‘Embrace’

Beloved artist Estiva returns to Colorize with stunning soundscapes on his fifth studio album, Embrace, in tow.

The Netherlands is home to many DJs and producers who have made a mark on the scene over the years, and Estiva is one who continues to draw attention from a global fanbase. His ability to marry elements of progressive house, melodic techno, and club-ready grooves in the studio has led to labels like Anjunabeats and Armada signing his tracks, but his biggest home has been on Colorize. That’s where he returned this year to drop his fifth studio album, Embrace, and it’s a gorgeous ride.

Out now across all platforms, this 14-track trip from Estiva exemplifies everything that fans have come to love about this melodic maestro. Yet there’s more depth to it than just its sonics, as he took to Instagram to share that this release tells an intimate story that showcases his personal and artistic side.

Being a DJ and producer isn’t just about creating music – it’s storytelling. The ups and downs, the peaks and lows, the tension and release in a track mirror the real emotions and experiences that shape us. When I’m on the road, there’s often a loneliness that comes with touring, and when I’m in my studio I feel like I’m in my own world, giving a sense of solitude, even in my most inspired moments. So I wanted to capture both that feeling of isolation and the thrill of connection, the journey that Embrace is.

The chilled-out, meditative atmosphere and robotic vocals on the title track open the album in a refreshing, uplifting manner. From there, you’re met with tracks like “Shores,” “All Night,” “Little Love,” and “Lonely Keys,” which show off the different sides of producing Estiva brings along with him. You’ll find yourself obsessed with the playful bounciness in some of the tunes that are contrasted with soul-stirring, emotion-driven moments in others.

One of the standouts is “Parlez-Vous,” a track that features processed vocals, airy synths, and a deep groove, making it perfect for those late-night affairs. Another gem, “Satellite,” brings Liz Cass into the mix for a gripping chapter of the story that will tug at your heartstrings as the seconds tick away. The mesmerizing “E.T. Dust” offers a flourish of trance as Estiva delivers one last spacey atmosphere before he turns it down a notch with ambient-leaning elements on “No Echoes” to close everything out.
