Estiva Channels Nostalgia And Dancefloor Energy On 'Solyra'
Out Wednesday 5th August.
Colorize welcomes the arrival of Estiva's new six-track EP 'Solyra', released on Wednesday 5th August. Following months of anticipation built through singles 'TCL', 'Noo Tacchi' and ‘Via Balearia’, the Dutch producer delivers a collection that captures every side of his evolving progressive house sound, balancing hypnotic grooves, melodic precision and the unmistakable club energy that has defined his career.
Inspired by years of accumulated experiences, emotions and musical influences, 'Solyra' is an EP built around atmosphere as much as movement. Throughout the project, Estiva brings together feelings of nostalgia, warmth and optimism, allowing those ideas to naturally shape a collection that feels cohesive while remaining firmly rooted in the club.
"My way of writing music has always been about drawing inspiration from an accumulation of experiences, emotions and influences I've gathered over the years," says Estiva. "The most magical part of the process is when those elements unconsciously come together and transform into something new that feels deeply personal. Looking back at the EP, those feelings of nostalgia, summer and optimism became the thread that connects the whole project."
Built around six carefully crafted records, 'Solyra' showcases Estiva at his most refined. From the rolling drive of 'Via Balearia' and the peak-time intensity of 'TCL', through to the deeper textures of 'Noo Tacchi', the euphoric lift of 'Palma', and the emotive atmosphere of 'Chemicals', the EP unfolds as a cohesive body of work that balances melodic warmth with a clear sense of dancefloor purpose.
Closing the project is 'The Wave', the EP's defining moment. Blending soaring melodies, rich textures, a commanding vocal and a driving groove, the record captures everything that has made Estiva one of progressive house's most respected names. Emotional without losing its dancefloor focus.
Few artists in melodic and progressive house have cultivated a sound as distinctive as Estiva. With more than 118 million streams across digital platforms and a catalogue spanning Colorize and Armada Music, he has established himself as one of the genre's defining voices. His productions continue to earn support from influential tastemakers including Solomun, Hernán Cattáneo, Joris Voorn and Armin van Buuren, while consistently ranking among Beatport's strongest-performing progressive house releases.
That reputation has been built on a catalogue that continues to evolve while remaining unmistakably his own. His acclaimed album 'Infinita' produced the Beatport Progressive House chart-topper 'Via Infinita', while 'Embrace' further expanded his melodic palette across fourteen tracks, blending textured songwriting with club-ready production. Away from the studio, Estiva has brought that sound to audiences worldwide through performances at Tomorrowland, Ultra Music Festival, Ushuaïa Ibiza, Hï Ibiza and Fabric, where his sets are renowned for showcasing his own productions, edits and unreleased material.
The release of 'Solyra' also marks the beginning of the next chapter in Estiva's live schedule. To celebrate the EP, he will host a special release party on Friday 28th August at Eve Whitehouse in Scheveningen, performing an extended set featuring music from the EP alongside exclusive unreleased material in one of the Netherlands' newest beachfront venues.
'Solyra' marks another strong chapter in Estiva's evolution, showcasing an artist whose melodic identity and club-focused approach continue to resonate across the global progressive house scene.
