Brandnew Estiva Remixes Out Now

Tuesday, January 26th, 2010

Recently Estiva remixed several interesting tracks. You might have noticed the new remixes in radioshows by number one DJ in the world Armin van Buuren (A State Of Trance), Above & Beyond (Trance Around The World), Markus Schulz (Global DJ Broadcast) and Solarstone (Solaris International).

‘Venice Beach’ by Daniel Kandi, famous for his perfectly uplifting trance sound, was given a rework by Estiva for Anjunabeats. This remix is out since the 18th of January and hammered by Above & Beyond and Armin van Buuren. Listen and buy Daniel Kandi – Venice Beach (Estiva Remix).

Up next are Eide & Andrez. Sindre Eide, still a teenager, gained a lot of respect from the biggest in business with his ‘Essentia’ release. The track released on Enhanced Recordings was supported by Tiesto, Armin van Buuren and Ferry Corsten to name a few. Now he’s back and together with Mark Andrez he made a track with a beautiful piano part in it. The Estiva remix is exactly what you would expect from an Estiva Remix. Listen and buy Eide & Andrez – Forget Me (Estiva Remix).

Last but not last is a remix for Adam Fielding. The track ‘Lost In Silence’ is released on a very unique and new label called SolarSwarm. SolarSwarm is the worlds first social network record label, a project runned by Solarstone. The deeper Original Mix is transformed to driving uplifter in the typical Estiva style. Listen and buy Adam Fielding – Lost In Silence (Estiva Remix).

Friends & Enemies EP Release

Monday, January 18th, 2010

Enhanced favourite Estiva had a fantastic 2009 with releases like I Feel Fine, his debut compilation Enhanced Sessions and remixes for the likes of Couldharbour and gigs all around Europe.

With his collaboration with Temple One ‘November Lovely’ still causing serious damage in the sets of the worlds elite, he shows no sign of holding up with yet another of his outstanding three track EP’s.

Genuinely, we don’t think you will find an artist who delivers such diverse and quality three trackers as this young Dutchman; Stella EP, Strawberry Fields EP, I Feel Fine EP; all have been absolutely outstanding.

Estiva now delivers something slightly different from his normal sound, but still packed with the unmistakable Estiva melodies.

The rock influenced Friends & Enemies leads the EP, with its huge synths and heavy percussion, and when the top line enters on the 4 minute mark, it’s just perfect. The huge main room Privilege is something that without doubt would take the roof off the Ibizan superclub, whilst Dalmatia again hits you with one of the biggest leads we’ve heard in a while.

Outstanding once again!

Charts January 2010

Friday, January 15th, 2010

Here it is, my first charts for 2010! I’m sure the January charts are an introduction to another great year. I got to mention this: Ashley Wallbridge did it again with ‘Chimera’. What a brilliant piece of music!

If you click on the tracks you can buy them at Beatport to support the artists!

November Lovely Release

Monday, January 4th, 2010

Estiva & Temple One kick off the new decade in truly emphatic style with this massive collaboration from the two Enhanced stars. Featured for the first time on Enhanced Sessions Vol. 1, mixed by the duo, the package now includes stunning mixes from both Temple One and Estiva.

The Estiva Mix showcases his fantastic talent in a style reminiscent to his stand out single ‘I Feel Fine’ from 2009. Temple One delivers a brilliantly blistering peak time mix; probably his best work to date. Also included is the wonderfully groovy Estiva’s Enhanced Sessions Mix, as featured on the CD.

We’re heavily tipping these two for a huge 2010, as are many of the trance fraternity, and this release surely outlines why they’re two names on everybody’s lips.

Hi everybody,

Here’s a little note from me. I’m really happy to have worked together with such a talented guy as Joe Garret (Temple One). Initially the Estiva Enhanced Sessions Mix was the only mix I did for this release. But later on I really felt the need to give this one a different approach which is now named as Estiva Mix. And last but not least I think Joe did a fantastic job with his uplifting mix. Pick you favourite and let me hear your thoughts!

Cheers,
Steven

November Lovely will be out on February 8. Please listen to these samples and let me know what you think!
