Express Yourself


Upcoming on Crosstown Rebel's is Maceo Plex's Sweating Tears E.P. I've Been following Eric Estornel as Maceo Plex since a copy of the Nico Jaar remix of Gravy train made it into my crate early in 2010, which then prompted me to find Vibe your Love which was SICK! I first heard Can't Leave You on Eric's RA podcast back in March of this year and searched about for more info to no avail. Started seeing the track pop up in youtube vids and live sets from Jamie Jones, Damian Lazarus, Seth Troxler, and a few others and realized shortly after the track was upcoming on Crosstown rebels. Release date is right around the corner and both tracks are will be hitting hard wax and digital on September 12, 2011. The track features Eric's sound that he started developing when working on his Maceo Plex moniker and sending the output to Crosstown Rebel Damian Lazarus. Can't leave you is a fusion of tightly processed instruments riding amongst a bouncy disco guitar line. While a big deep dark bass rumbles as well as ties the whole track together in a very moving way. Creating the vibe across the world for the last few months through many plays from the top jocks in the underground, this track is and will continue to set fire to dance floors everywhere.




Eric found his groove a long time ago with his techno moniker Maetrik, but has fine tuned and refined it into some of the most stunning electronic tracks I have heard in a long time. Can't leave you is my pick of the EP, but Stop Your Hate is also quite a jam which makes this a complete package. Also, be on the lookout for the Tale of Us remix to come out after the original drops on 9-12.
