Originally from the USA and now relocated to Valencia Spain, Eric
Estornel is making incredible leaps and strides releasing some of
the most devastating yet unique music in the industry. His djing
obsession began back in 1993 at the age of 15, and soon after
became deeply infatuated with bringing his musical ideas to life
with his production. Since then, hiis sudonyms Maetrik, Mariel Ito,
and Maceo Plex are under great demand for the rich dynamic
production and unique blend of techno, house, funk, and electro
that only Eric can devise.
Perhaps it’s because of Eric’s clear Cuban roots or his years in the
game, but without a doubt 2009 was an incredible year and only
more amazing things are expected of his truly unarguable talent.
10 years since his first release on the respected Immigrant
Records back in 2000 and Eric is still holding strong to his quest
for the future of dance. Since then he’s gone onto write 3 full
length albums, a slew of 40 more Eps, and countless remixes. Even
through the years of Prolific production, Eric has developed one of
the most intricate and floor impressive live acts in electronic
music. Fusing his skillfull DJing and Live PA performance in a way
that walks a fine line between intelligent and conceptual music,
and floor filling futuristic body rocking.
Whether working on his “other worldly” compositions as Maetrik,
his alien sounding electro as Mariel Ito, or his innovative dark
house music as Maceo Plex, Eric is always putting his blood sweat
and tears into everything he does. Putting aside trends and
crushing genre boundaries, no one can argue that Eric has always
stayed true to what comes from his heart or his sometimes choatic
mind.
Watch out for more killer music on his USA homebase Claude
Vonstroke’s Mothership imprint. Or extraordinary Europe brands
Dumb Unit, Audiomatique, and Treibstoff. For now Eric’s Maceo
Plex house album is still in the works, but be looking for it on one
of the most innovative and brightest labels out of the
UK…Crosstown Rebels!! It will surprise those out there that didn’t
know such soul could come out of the one most call MAETRIK.
