Fun track, really enjoyed that break and the drop with plenty of unexpected turns to keep me excited, has that classic trance nostalgia feel from (Push vs Globe - Transformation), there needs to be an extended 9min mix for this track, absolutely love the outro part! sick dark/prog trance nice to see Estiva claiming his territory once again with Strawberry kind of vibes :D

This is a legitimately pleasant surprise. Have not listened to Estiva for sometime, but this is without a doubt one of his strongest releases in a while!

Just me who finds it boring when bassline is introduced straight of the bat? and then it builds up in an uncredibly basic and predictible way, and who hasnt heard that particular synthpluck and melodyprogression before? It doesnt go anywhere. its just repetitiv, literally Feels like ive heard this track +100 times before since mid 2010s. Its lazily done, typical fastfood production in my opinion. Lack any sort of nuance or substance.

Estiva - Sky from last year was pretty good.

Think it's a bit harsh to call this one fastfood, not thattttt bad. Sounds nice, and has an enjoyable mood to it, but yeah its generic to some extent for sure and does lack nuance. Could have built upon a good foundation and been more explorative.

Does go on a bit, but it's enjoyable for me. Wouldn't actively search for it but also wouldn't mind it when it comes up in a mix/playlist.
