Maceo Plex: Vibe Your Love 12″

Key repress from the Crosstown Rebels crew! Maceo Plex’s “Vibe Your Love” turned a lot of heads when it first dropped back in 2010. Eric Estornel, who previously had been known as the techno making Maetrik amongst other aliases, turned out some of the most soulful house with the track. He won dancefloors over with his unique combination of piano chords, warm pads, and emotive vocals. Wolf + Lamb’s Zev handled the remix duties as only a man from that crew could. The drums are beefed up, a little acidic bass line is added, and the whole thing settles nicely into the groove.
