With “Shores,” Dutch producer Estiva (real name Steven Baan) delivers a glowing finale to the single rollout ahead of his highly anticipated album Embrace. Clocking in at 124 BPM and released under the ever-curated Colorize label, this Dance/Pop-leaning progressive gem showcases Estiva at his most expressive and immersive.
Over the years, Estiva has evolved from his trance roots on labels like Enhanced and Armada into a true genre-blending force. With each release, he’s demonstrated an increasingly refined touch for emotionally intelligent, melodic dance music — and Shores might be one of his most elegant works to date.
Following the more club-driven intensity of prior Embrace singles like “KFIL,” “Sudden Moves,” and “Parlez-Vous,” Shores offers a breath of serene euphoria. Built around shimmering synth work, crisp percussion, and a melody that ebbs and flows like ocean tides, the track is a lush soundscape that doesn’t just aim for the dancefloor — it aims for the soul.
What sets this track apart is its emotional nuance. There’s no need for heavy drops or flashy FX here — just a steady, hypnotic groove layered with subtly shifting textures and that signature Estiva atmosphere: dreamy, cinematic, yet deeply groove-oriented. It’s as if he’s distilled a sunset into sonic form — warm, lingering, and endlessly replayable.
This is more than just another single — it’s a sonic chapter that beautifully teases the depth and vision of Embrace. With recently sold-out shows across NYC, Chicago, Denver, and London, plus upcoming headline sets at Colorize Manchester and London, Estiva is not just producing music — he’s cultivating a full-bodied experience around it.
⭐️ Rating: 9.5/10
🎧 Perfect for:
- Sunset drives and seaside walks
- Emotional late-night DJ sets
- Anyone needing a moment of calm on the dancefloor
An exquisite fusion of emotion and groove — a masterclass in progressive elegance. Estiva’s “Shores” doesn’t just invite you to dance — it invites you to feel. And if this is the closing act before Embrace, then we’re in for something truly special.
