REVIEW: Estiva - Three Strikes EP out on Enhanced recordings

Introducing a brand new 3 track EP from Enhanced star Estiva, with 'Three Strikes' - including 'Koalastrike' 'Boxmeister' & 'Shoesham'. With all 3 tracks an exclusive feature on Tritonal's acclaimed 'Tritonia Chapter 001' compilation this new EP provides the listener with his stand out melodies and earth shattering drops with a healthy sprinkle of that added secret Estiva ingredient throughout.

Keeping up with the tradition of head turning titles to match the music the first strike on this EP - 'Koalastrike' is nothing short of a dance floor bomb ready to explode, with early support from Armin van Buuren & Above & Beyond. Matching stand out synth work and a spine tingling piano top line in the break and an irresistibly catchy groove on the drop, this is a knockout first strike which is released exclusively at Beatport on 17th February.

Next to be released individually at Beatport on 10th March is 'Boxmeister' - yet another monumental track and the hardest hitting production on the EP filled with reverbing bass drums and piercing melodic synths 'Boxmeister' makes for an excellent strike two.

The complete EP including the third and final strike on this hard hitting release 'Shoesham', which already has support from the likes of Nicky Romero, is released in all stores on 31st March. 'Shoesham' is centred around another build of epic proportion and a drop so large it's a truly fitting final track to complete 'Three Strikes'.

Something different but executed with unnerving aplomb and skill from Estiva, guaranteed to cause maximum damage on the dance floor.



Dimitri Kechagias review: Enhanced recordings is at the forefront of EDM with fantastic releases so far. The latest EP is the biggest release until now for the Dutch super talent Estiva. The sympathetic producer who never stops to rock with his amazing productions and remixes deliver the fantastic Three Strikes EP that includes 3 top notch high class productions. Koalastrike (check review here), Boxmeister & Shoesham. Boxmeister is a magnificent high class prime time banger that epic progressive house djs & big room trance djs as well can easily drop it and cause mayhem on the dancefloor. If you play the mainstage sound of W&W you will certainly appreciate the energy and the dynamism that this super hot track hides inside it. Superb breakdown with cool calming soothing melodies until the hair raising rave style synthy riff is unleashed to cause massive dancefloor destruction. When the drop comes you can not avoid its superpowers that will move and shake even the most moody grumpy person on planet earth. Its the kind of track that festival crowds adore and is impossible to resist its sure and immediate impact so better play it again and again in your festival performances. Last track coming from this top EP is Shoesham. Big room to the maximum is the first word that comes to my mind for this track which  is destined to cause uncontrolled reactions on the dancefloor. Rough and aggressive hardstyle infused basslines combined with pumping beats while the synths are maddening, euphoric and sunkissed as well. Tailor made to move thousands of happy festival visitors worldwide is eclectic big room anthem that stands out from the rest that pollute the EDM world as it seems an easy to produce formula of breakdown and drops. Estiva facilitates a nice lesson to many producers out there as he shows them his definition of epic progressive house. After this EP he deserves to perform at the mainstage of Tomorrowland! #PureGold Love iT
