Motor City Drum Ensemble - An introduction...

At the tender age of 6, Danilo Plessow`s path in music started with playing drums. With his engagement in a school bigband he found his love for jazz - and from 11 years of age on he started working on his own music using a computer and samples.

Being influenced by Jazz, Soul, Funk, Hiphop and House music, the first results were already released 5 years later on Stuttgart's Pulver Records. Together with Joachim Tobias, Danilo had formed the House and Broken Beat project ´Inverse Cinematics`: Seven 12 inch Records, one LP and many remixes and compilation appearances followed.

The project was and still is a favourite of some of the worlds most influential leftfield DJs such as Gilles Peterson, Rainer Trueby [with whom Danilo just started a collaboration], Michael Ruetten or Benji B. After several other collaborations and solo projects in the Nujazz vein [Hipster Wonkaz with P.Valentino for Ubiquity Records or solo as Aphro Pzyko for Raw Fusion], Danilo went back to his House music roots with the ´Motor City Drum Ensemble`.

Taking influences from soul, disco and detroit and chicago 90`s house, the new moniker soon became his best known: He released five 12 inch in 2008, and especially his 'Raw Cuts' series made him a shooting star in the deep house scene, highlighted by the internets house and techno bible 'Resident Advisor' for whom he did a mixtape that is soon regarded as one of the best mixes of this influential podcast.

In times when even big labels struggle to sell 500 copies, MCDE`S 'Raw Cuts' series, released on his own label 'MCDE' [run together with P. Valentino] sold a few thousands each, and his other own label 'Four Roses Recordings` has been doing very good as well. 2009 started with a 12 inch for one of UK`s biggest house labels, 20:20 Vision, and Danilo now hits the road on a regular again to show some of his DJ skills, which have brought him all over Europe, the US and Russia...
