Maetrik has produced dozens of stylish techno singles for labels such as Dumb Unit, Mothership, Treibstoff and Immigrant Records, taking club sounds in new directions and massaging them with muscular grooves. Maetrik teams up with NY techno auteur Gregory Shiff on Saturday, April 4th 2009 for SpeakEasy at Cameo in Williamsburg.
