If you’re at all in the loop of what’s been going on in the international EDM underground this year, then there’s little chance you’ve missed the meteoric rise of producer Eric Estornel, AKA Maceo Plex.
And if you attended the now-legendary 2011 edition of Crosstown Rebels’ Get Lost party during Miami Music Week, you probably still get goose bumps remembering his mind-blowing live performance out on the Electric Pickle’s patio.
But perhaps what you don’t know is that this explosive tech-house sensation — now based in Europe — got his start in our neck of the woods, as a DJ in the seminal early-’90s South Florida rave scene.
So, with Estornel returning to Miami for an exclusive performance at the Electric Pickle this Saturday, Crossfade got him to hook us up with his top five jams from that era. These should bring back lots of memories if you were raving back in the day, as well as shed some light on Maceo Plex’s early influences.
Will you step up to support New Times this year?
At New Times, we’re small and scrappy — and we make the most of every dollar from our supporters. Right now, we’re $16,750 away from reaching our December 31 goal of $30,000. If you’ve ever learned something new, stayed informed, or felt more connected because of New Times, now’s the time to give back.
