It was in 2011 when Danilo Plessow aka Motor City Drum Ensemble released his DJ-Kicks
compilation to a stoked crowd, showing an unusual amount of wisdom for a producer
that young. Now, he returns to his best-known moniker - having been on hold since
that exciting remix for Midland's 'What We Know' in early 2012 - with another reboot
of sorts: choosing his own MCDE imprint as stage for the new record, Danilo directly
confronts the legacy of his insanely loved 'Raw Cuts' that brought the bounce back to
Deep House, injecting a blueprint grown stale with much-needed emotions and
rejuvenating DJ crates worldwide.
It is surprising, then, that the latest entry in the series is only the tenth release
in a discography seemingly consisting only of classics, but as MCDE's A&R, Danilo &
his partner Pablo Valentino (FACES Records / Creative Swing Alliance) intentionally
kept the young label's artist roster small, focussing on quality output instead and
giving the sound room to breathe.
While there are plenty of successful House templates floating around, none defined
its roots in sampling as thoroughly as MCDE & Raw Cuts did, and it's happening again
with these four impressive workouts condensing all we love about the genre, resulting
in a show-stopping record sure to set even the most distinguished floors on fire.
2013 should consider itself a lucky year, because Motor City Drum Ensemble is back in
the producer's seat and that's a very good thing.
