Maetrik

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 sudonyms Maetrik, Mariel Ito, Plaex, and now 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. 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 devasting Europe brands Dumb Unit, Treibstoff, and Audiomatique. For now Eric's Maceo Plex house album is a bit hush hush, but be looking for it on one of the most innovative and brightest labels out of the UK....it' will surprise those out there that didn't know such soul could come out of the one most call MAETRIK.
