The latest track from Maceo Plex (aka Maetrik) is an absolute killer—definitely another notch in the belt for this moniker from the veteran DJ and producer. Titled “Falling”, it’s out on the latest comp from Visionquest, which is currently exclusively available at Beatport. Having gotten the opportunity to hear this one on some decent sound over the weekend, we can say for sure this is one very vinyl-worthy, as long as you’re willing to wait. And to be fair, though Maceo blows this whole release out of the water, the whole thing is worth its due; Tale Of Us brings us “Winds Of Change”, a moody analog piece with heavily filtered vocals (lovers of Art Department will especially dig this one) and San Francisco’s own Pillow Talk drops a slow, soulful disco-nouveau/ early 90’s house throwback with “Love Makes Parks”. Basically, there’s a little something for just about every flavor of house music fan to love in this one.

For more on the featured artists (and a bit of listening homework), keep reading.

Maceo Plex (aka Maetrik) has been largely unavoidable on the dancefloor following the release of this moniker’s first album, Life Index, on Crosstown Rebels in February. His ubiquitous single, “Vibe Your Love”, has landed on so many mixes and DJ charts it borders on absurd, but it’s praise that comes very well-earned. Below you’ll find a preview of his album as well as his most recent (and mind-blowingly good) mix for Crosstown Rebels.

Robag Wruhme (aka Gabor Schablitzki) has been a consistent player in the push for bringing beautifully-crafted house and techno to a wide audience. His most recent album, Thora Vukk, has received high praise from well beyond just the electronic music community—and of course is quite the favorite around these parts. You can read more about his album here, and be sure to check out his most recent mix out on Kompakt, titled Wuppdeckmischmampflow, which you can purchase via Beatport. And if you’re still craving a brief preview, check out his track, “Pnom Gobal” below.
