Just in time for summer, and another huge season of gigs across the world,
Maceo Plex returns to his own Ellum Audio with a sure to be huge new single.
This is Maceo’s first outing since his excellent Mutant Robotics release in 2018,
but in the months since he has continued to be a leading light in the global
house and techno scene. A spellbinding performer who takes the crowd into
another dimension, the Spanish based American is just as adventurous in the
studio and once again casts another magical spell with this new EP.
‘When The Lights Are Out’ is a ready-made anthem that serves up a seven-
minute techno trip of the highest order. It is deep and masterfully melodic, of
course, with slick drums setting an inviting mid-tempo pace and the
melancholic chords adding lasting emotion to the groove. A heartfelt female
vocal is the centrepiece that will get hands in the air this summer and ensure
this record stays firmly lodges in record boxes worldwide.
Next to an instrumental, there is a Late Night Mix that is more driving and
electrifying, with glossy synths shining bright in the expansive skies above the
drums.
This is the sound of a melodic techno master at work and is another landmark
release for both artist and label.
