Maceo Plex, the artistic moniker of Eric Estornel, is a Cuban-American DJ, producer, and electronic musician revered for his contributions to the techno and house music scenes. Born on November 7, 1978, Estornel's journey into the electronic landscape began in the early 1990s, influenced by the mix of sounds from his travels and his Cuban heritage. Before adopting the name Maceo Plex, he was known under various aliases, including Maetrik and Mariel Ito, each capturing differing vibes and audiences.

Having released on esteemed labels such as Crosstown Rebels, Ellum Audio (his own imprint), and Kompakt, Maceo Plex is distinguished by his adept ability to weave rich, emotive melodies with deep, driving basslines that resonate on the dancefloor. The artist has carved out a space for himself where his productions, characterized by a balance of deepness and danceability, stand out among peers. His versatility shines through his diverse recent releases, from the pulsing beats of "Clickbait (This Ain't Hollywood)" to the mesmerizing and hypnotic rhythms of "Nu World" and "Insomnia 2021". Maceo Plex's remixes are particularly celebrated, often transforming original tracks into otherworldly experiences, as heard in "Let’s All Pray For This World (Maceo Plex Remixes)" and "Synthesizer (feat. Nathan Ball) [Maceo Plex RemixEdit]". As a mainstay in the electronic music community, Maceo Plex continues to push boundaries and captivate audiences worldwide with his innovative sounds and unrelenting dedication to the craft.
