Returning to Ruben de Ronde's Statement! Recordings after 'Overwatch', 'Darcode', and 'Flares', Estiva is never one to be confined to a specific genre. Bringing two different worlds together by way of 'Power Core' and 'Stiekem', the Dutchman indulges in the pick of progressive, the dark depths of techno, and what not. Matched in versatility by few, Estiva and his relentless compositions are at the top of the food chain in which adaptation is key.

[item value="10"]Estiva - Power Core / Stiekem[/item]
[content title="Summary" label="Overall Score"]Estiva widens his music horizons by offering in his newest EP two very different and varied tracks. Stiekem is the big full on progressive techno affair with bouncy fat drums, punchy dark basslines and aggressive sound that particularly tech trance fanatics will find very pleasing. Smashing grooves and energetic atmosphere will keep the sweat running from clubbers bodies. Power Core on the other side is the deep melodic dreamy progressive trance sound that Estiva has been associated with through the years with exciting melodic content, distorted vocal snippets and magnificent progression of melodies and sounds. Long and teasing breakdown will drive the crowd hooked until the electro trance minded drop comes in to get the juices flowing all night long. #PureGold Love It [/content]
