Maceo describes his dj-ing style as GLOBAL DANCE FUSION. His musical taste is strongly rooted in black music - soul, jazz, funk and hip hop. He has much respect for the old school, as well as the new school. Nu-jazz, broken beats, tech-soul, deep house & electro boogie are also among his favorite styles. Maceo's mixing is very diverse, it's all about blending different rhytmic patterns in order to keep people surprised without loosing the vibe. Musical journey from pyramides to spaceships, where past, present and future become one. MyGen Profile Generator
