Music Mondays:: Maceo Plex
Artist Overview
Eric Estornel, better known by his stage names Maceo Plex, Maetrik and Mariel Ito, is a Cuban-American DJ, techno music producer and DJ Awards winner, raised in Dallas and Miami. Over the years he has many monikers, but the Maceo Plex seems to be the one that has had the largest breakthrough in terms of sounds and brand recognition. Over the years, I have loved his mixes and his original production and remixes and have found myself listening to both bodies of work more and more, so felt it only right to share.

MUSIC MONDAY SERIES
Scientists believe that listening to music in a group helps people to connect. This connection happens because the rhythm in the music helps people's brains synchronize. This allows them to coordinate their body movements. As a result, music can influence how we work in a group. While I wish we could all be at concerts together all the time, sadly, we can not. However, thanks to the internet, sites like Spotify, Soundcloud, and Youtube, we can share some fantastic artists making incredible music. Check out our other Music Monday posts.
