Eric Estornel, the Spain-based producer, carefully curated the identity of Maceo Plex, initially known for festival-friendly house productions before delving into a more mysterious, introspective sound. Born in Texas in 1978 and raised in Dallas, Estornel began DJing in 1993 and transitioned to music production by the late '90s, releasing techno and electro tracks under various aliases. Establishing himself in the tech-house scene as Maetrik in the early 2000s, he explored abstract electro and IDM as Mariel Ito in the mid-2000s. Maceo Plex emerged in 2009, evolving from accessible house with Chicago and Detroit influences to a more dramatic sound, exemplified in the 2011 debut full-length “Life Index“ and the ambitious 2017 release “Solar.“ The journey of Maceo Plex encompasses a wide spectrum, from soulful house to dark sci-fi-influenced tones. With notable releases like “Solar Detroit“ and albums like “Solar“ (2017), his music reflects personal experiences, including marriage and fatherhood. Estornel's commitment to pushing musical boundaries is evident in releases like “Insomnia 2021,“ a rework of Faithless' classic, and collaborations with Liberty City, Program 2, and Johnny Jewel. As Maceo Plex continues to evolve, his music remains a testament to his artistic depth and commitment to exploration.
