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.

maetrik has enjoyed some hot releases of late, with heavy work released on dumb- unit, mothership and resopal schallware. now this big talent comes again on audiomatique with a three track arsenal of audiomind games. marinda, featuring sabb, throws us right into the current maetrik sound with freaky vocal lines and solid nu-house vibes underpinning the hotndirty bassline!

who is maetrik and just how does he get his beats and bleeps to sound so good? we cant be the only ones asking this question as recently eric comes on a string of big hits for audiomatique and mothership. erics been banging out stormers of late, but with dumb-unit its different. here we do our typical du magic and present something a little bit slankier, a wee bit dirtier, and a tad more tripped out. something that dancers and freaks can equally get their head around, something that will blast through the sound systems straight through the summer! and so without further ado we suggest you dig in ... and get ready ...

2009 maetrik has moved from the us over to europe. no not berlin, valencia! this may be a reason for the vocals (…the people change), from his newest masterpiece -paradigm house-. maetrik delivers for colognes treibstoff label another one of his futuristic bombs. combining his trademark futuristic techno with soulful deep shouts and marching vocals. the single comes with a remix by the reknowned mike shannon, which will be equally loved by friends from the old school and new school in tech-house.

already played by steve bug!! maetrik heads up the next audiomatique 12inch with the stunning >underrate dis< ep. well known for his great work on labels like mothership or dumb unit the man from valencia continues to grow from strength to strength with this storming three tracker. melting house, techno and sinister, super funky elements into a truly unique and unmissable package, theres sheer talent on display in unearthly amounts!

a salute to the boobs. claudes super low down, >big n round< gets a supremely filthy treatment by some of his favorite producers of the year. the a-side is maetriks smashing >feel dem boobies< mix, a relentless tech funk bomb with a heavy beat rooted deep in the earth. the flip is the amazing holger zilske, delivering a super freaky computer-flavored funk mix.
claude vonstrokes hit album >bird brain< has been remixed by some of the best producers in the world from carl craig to robag whrume. dirtybird has decided to release the majority of remixes on vinyl in a series of very limited pressings throughout the next few months. each record will have 300 copies only.

mothership transmission 027 – maetrik the >space chronic< ep was the biggest selling record on mothership last year and for good reason. maetrik has an incredible knack for innovative and original sound design. he is also able to package these sounds inside great arrangements and very dj friendly beats. this is what really separates his records from the rest of the sound design experts. >show me< is the perfect example of maetriks amazing talents. after several minutes of a super funky techno groove (2 things that dont usually go together) we find ourselves at the drop. and this drop is one of the best we have ever heard. it sounds like an angry wasp is flying full speed through the inside of your brain. the riff will melt your mind. >simpleman< on the other side is a great example of maetriks versatility. you might be expecting a hardcore techno bit but instead we hear a very groovy, almost reserved jazz techno fusion joint, but still with the heavy beats to keep it real for the clubs.

early plays by troy pierce...bitch is a great tech house song sang back to back with his love janina.

chicago-based siteholder records crew returns with a brand-spanking new sub-label, uncut ltd. first release comes with floor rockin tracks by donk boys, brian ffar and a remix by maetrik of bumpin ugly s >work me<

played by karotte, l.garnier, steve bug, sebo k, mike shannon, layo, d julz !!! we are pretty sure that maetrik sent us his latest ep from a grow room orbiting the earth. his space chronic ep combines the innovation of techno with a sense of fun missing from your average four on the floor banger. its a little shocking, but the results have been exactly what wed expect from the dallas native - mass freaking on the dancefloor. the albums lead single, sex with bass, explores the type of low frequencies that usually occur when suspension bridges tear apart. all the while a subsonic voice repeats its desire to have sex… with bass! stab jockey throws a techno curveball at the start, utilizing rhythmic synths over a simple beat. dont trust it! midway through, the line clears out for full-frequency busting bass drops. on the flip, crawl machine immediately builds a head-nodding groove that wastes no time firing off its boosters – half the track is a sneaky buildup. by the time the kick slams back in, youre already back in orbit. cuban born maetriks techno pedigree is bulletproof.

new passage in the maetrik-regular relation that consolidates with this transform, new delivery of the man of dallas. following the line of the successful sexus published in may, this new delivery locates to maetrik in the best front sight of the best dj s over the world.. transform is a martian song, a disquieting voice that from the catacombs shows the way to the dance floor to us with a track evolutionary and hipnótic. acid uprock goes more direct to the objective, without contemplations. groove aggressive, dark and efervescent secuences. hexus is pure intensity. a melody sequential and marked that moves, moves, moves….

ein düster-verwinkeltes sf-szenario sattelt auf effizient marschierendem 4/4-gerüst. und während es in allen ecken summt und scheppert, darf rene breitbarth den roten knopf drücken, der die tanzdroiden hüpfen lässt

from dallas eric estornel has arrived, who is not other that maetrik or mariel-ito. take hold yourself that they come curved the constant mutations and growth in its sound since it dazzled us to all with >casi profundo< album or with singles as >agravatte me< has taken to him to a maximum point of maturity in its arrival in regular. sexus is track amazing, technoide, intense, without fissures, forceful and direct. acces ebm takes a darker way if it fits, with a big bass which walks and it makes you walk to his side, you are not scared, does not bite! nexus could perfectly be single of the disc.

stil vor talent proudly presents an extraordinary artist – maetrik. most of you already know this guy and his releases on treibstoff, morris audio und substatic. the boy from texas builds two technobombs, that are gonna explode. the track aggravate me on site a is a monster, that comes with a splattervocal. the track absence of mind on side b makes you anxious and shows that maetrik is the producer of tomorrow. this record will show you what fear really feels like

even after more than 30 years of living the lifestyle of electronic dance music, techno is still sometimes looking for a matching form and sound language to transfer the special thrill of a live event to a club night adequately. so, sven vŠth and his crew were even more excited about the live set of eric estornell aka maetrik at cocoons closing party at amnesia / ibiza this year. for the final of a season that was once again exploring the limits of party culture, maetrik celebrated an extraordinary energetic state of emergency for more than one hour. the resulting live cd is reflecting that matchless mixture of pumping deep house, energetic soul and adrenaline-enriched noise.

following up on a stellar 2013, timo maas kick starts the new year with the final vinyl remix sampler taken from his album, lifer. this is his latest offering since tantra ep which was received with rave reviews and featured across rolling stone, xlr8r, clash, as well as played by some of the finest djs on the circuit from seth troxler, maceo plex through to luciano and danny tenaglia.

back with another monster of a release, ellum audio bring you four heavy duty remixes of the infectious jam new york is alright from tv baby - a killer track with a throb of low-resolution low-end and caustic vocals - in the words of label boss maceo plex. for the a side blackspun deliver a sensational ‘minimal mix’ and acid dub, while over on the flip maetrik injects plenty of groove and idjut boys take things into another dimension! all tracks are serious dj weaponry, each served to dominate the dancefloor in their own way at peak time

excellent 2x 12 inch with hot maceo plex tracks and edits... nice

special extended vinyl edition plus cd release ltd to 1000 copies! the cocoon compilation k, being the longplay flagship in the cocoon catalogue, adequately starts the second decade of the label with a musical imperative. but dont worry: even if the letter k has sometimes been misused as an indicator for the degree of hardness of some sonic noise in the past of the tech-house scene, >k< is definitely the deepest survey of contemporary electronic dance music that has ever seen the light of day on cocoon recordings!! please note: the full-length versions of all tracks are only available in the 6-vinyl edition !!!

2nd part with prime time tunes from robert babicz, maetrik, tom hades...

after the big succes of hi tech booty, we searched for some really special guys out there to put hand on ahmets bomb. well here it is. a1 comes from maetrik which was a strong desire of ahmet and for sure an excellent choice. he totally brings in his own style while getting a little bit closer to the darkside of the track. a2 is a special collab between rainer, which we know from the last regular stock5 record together with cesare vs disorder and viudez, a mexican guy that seems to have a very nice influence to the production style. the vocal is very present but placed, arranged and transformed geniously. for sure a weapon! b1 is written by our special friend chris sylvester aka inxec. starting with a very housy groove, it falls quickly into a hypnotic mood that is unique in inxec productions. he really knows what the dancefloor requires and for this we are very happy to have him again in our release roster. b2 presents a very new and fresh artist called rico casazza. he interprets the track in a very detroit way, works verz little with the vocal but hits it very perfectly for the sense of the track. after this debut on our imprint you can be sure to hear more of this young guy in the next time!!!

max cooper has over the last 2 years become one of the figureheads of modern composed electronic music on traum and is gaining popularity rapidly amongst those who like beautifully crafted and composed electronic music.opening with >ripple< this epic builder, heavy with bass, tripped out fx, haunting abstract vocals, spiced with teasing climaxes,this is surely another top cooper track in the making.
