What a humble and congenial bloke. Really refreshing.

[@morallyflexable9582]

Stay awkward behind those decks my friend cause there isn"t a better show on this PLANET!!!!!!

[@davidwun8601]

Maceo, love your honesty. Rare quality in media.

[@dicefall9]

I love how he is, his music has always been original and avant-garde, while still being groovy, deep, melodic and atmospheric at the same time. I appreciate djs/producers like him. I remember being to his set at Igloofest in Montreal, it was the best 😊❄

[@Valliant2007]

I love how he talks about people wanting to be the next big thing and never once refers to himslef, very humble guy. Even today I hear lots of producers sounding like Maceo. Its hard to believe hes still so young yet firmly cemented within the scene as one of the greats.

[@3VLN]

i am pleasantly surprised with who he seems to be on this clip, really didnt like him coming in, but his way of thinking has win me over.

[@Steve_643]

DJ’s aren’t performers they mix records for people to dance too. I don’t understand when it got twisted. Keep the DJ’s in the clubs

[@Tallpaaaul]

Totally agree with everything he said!

[@4bg0n]

Maceo lives in my hood ?!? Wicked!

[@michaels8597]

As a DJ,it is about the music,programming,and the dancers,not dancing and jumping around behind the controls.If you're truly busy on the decks,creating,remixing,and improvising,there's not much time to be hopping around.Let the music and the vibe speak for you,as the DJs job is to highlight music,sound,and set the mood.If someone is not being creative while making music,that's either their failure to learn how,or by locking oneself into a box.People should be thinking for themselves and using tools they have mastered,not just because a device or software happens to be trendy.Learn how to be versatile,and to use various tools,like Hawtin,Steve Dee,DJ Krush,etc,etc...

He makes some weird/random stuff, but he keeps it interesting. He plays my favorite spots in Dallas, and he's always good. Half the time he's using the name Maetrik. But he did some techno I really like under the name Mariel Ito.

[@Squid969]

My favorite DJ, there is noone better than Maceo Plex.

[@neopunkmusic]

he said "only 3-4 hours A DAY". lol. god damn that''ll add up fast.

[@trancextend]

I love this guy. I got work from Dave Dresden on a quarantine set. I fell in love with his unique sound.

[@iluz3026]

Thanks great insight! :)

The only pleasure of this inter is

[@MARCOSDA]

What song is on the background,

[@richardwilliams4669]

One of my favorite people right here. Love his music and sets. He Inspired me along with some others to produce my own stuff. I still suck in my mind but I am going to keep digging until I finally make something I am truly excited about.

[@arnenoot9948]

I respectfully disagree with him on the performance part. I mean, I'm just one dude, he probably knows alot better on how it works in the whole "scene". When I'm at a club and see Jeff Mills or Robert Hood (when I'm at a club, I mean, when I WAS, almost a year ago, pre-covid, rip...) play, and they're completely focused on their decks and tearing the club down. I, personally, can have so much more respect for guys like that, than for example EDM dudes/dudettes who jump around their stage acting like clowns. Ofcourse there's a grey middle ground, but this is just my two cents.

[@michelbesedin7081]

Totally agreed with him! You should be innovating, fk the money! New stuff is what rly cool to hear.
