Maceo Plex

Eric Estornel operates under the Maceo Plex moniker from his base in Spain, despite his American origins. The producer launched his career in 2009 and has maintained consistent output through 2023, amassing 48 releases across his primary alias and additional projects including Maetrik and Eric Entity. Estornel founded Ellum Audio in 2011, establishing his own platform for releases while simultaneously appearing on respected imprints like Kompakt and Ministry of Sound Recordings.

Maceo Plex delivers driving techno and deep house productions that span 120-130 BPM ranges, with recent releases incorporating melodic house elements alongside his established tech house foundation. His Ellum Audio releases showcase peak time techno constructions, while his Kompakt appearances lean toward the label's signature deep house aesthetics. The Lone Romantic imprint features his more introspective house productions, demonstrating range from dancefloor-focused tracks to after-hours selections. His sound has evolved from straight techno beginnings toward incorporating melodic progressions and house sensibilities, maintaining the driving energy that defines his peak time sets.
