Maceo Plex’s much anticipated Essential Mix has arrived online and with it, yet more evidence he’s pushing forward as one of the most innovative DJ and producers of 2015.
The mix aired on the weekend with plenty of listeners turning and expecting a slick selection of rhythmic and punchy goodness with Maceo explaining the guise behind the healthy two hours;
“What I’d like for the listeners to gather from this Essential Mix is a closer look at all the musical soundscapes that inspire my own productions. As well as an intimate portrait of my roots stretching back to the early 90s when I began. Instead of playing all the newest unreleased hits, I’ve woven old and new music that I feel will grow on the listener the more they listen to it.”
His efforts were just that with a finely tuned run of new and old as well as a selection of his own productions showing that the US producer has plenty on the way.
