22-year-old Danilo Plessow from Stuttgart, also
known as Motor City Drum Ensemble, is the man
behind INVERSE CINEMATICS. After productions on
Pulver, the French Faces label, remixes for Ninja
Tunes and his cult hit (and Gilles Peterson fave)
"Detroit Jazzin", he releases his debut longplayer
"Passin Through" . From jazzy hip hop to latin
beats, from housey tracks to technoid sounds. The
international club music scene cannot be imagined
without Danilo Plessow. At the age of 10 he began
to experiment with electronic music and soon
decided to sell his drum kit to buy studio
equipment. He completed his first tracks in 1997 -
at this point Danilo was just 12 years old.
Although the first songs still sounded very
technoid, the soul of Afro-American music has
already been reminiscent in his early work and
keeps influencing his music today. It was by mere
chance that Danilo and his partner Joachim Tobias
alias INVERSE CINEMATICS have been discovered by
Pulver Records. In 2002 the "Slow Swing" EP was
released. After the release party at the legendary
club "Le Fonque" in Stuttgart Danilo discovered
the fascination and intensity of club culture. Now
driving and hypnotic elements join his
productions, adding to the more lounge influenced
music. Danilo who is always on the go does not
succeed in fusing all of his enthusiasm for soul
music and its many styles in one single project.
Aside from different remix jobs and minor projects
he also produces tracks as "Motor City Drum
Ensemble" under the popular label "Four Roses
Recordings". After numerous productions - among
others for the French label "Faces" - remixes on
"Ninja Tunes", a release under the Swedish cult
label "Raw Fusion" under the pseudonym "Aphro
Pzyko", the release of the cult hit "Detroit
Jazzin" now the long-expected long player "Passin
Through" is released on Pulver Records. In the
past two years Danilo collected songs for the
album which production wise, fit all to one piece.
This, of course, includes a hip-hop track "äTake
it back to 86 feat. Jebediah"), very jazzy songs
(e.g. "The Black Verse"), housy tracks ("Don't
give up") or Latin beats (Samba Time). "Passin'
Through" is more of an up-to-date inventory and
description of Danilo's influences than a
chronological time travel. The strong rhythmical
and percussive elements are held together by
intensive hooks and melodies and merge into an
overall experience, which guides the listener
through alternating moods. The instrumentation,
which is mainly based on samples, testifies deep
roots in the Crate Digging culture. ôI would like
to put my samples into a new context instead of
simply forcing the essence of old songs into a new
formö, Danilo explains. Addressing the issue of
which track is his favorite, Danilo does not want
to commit himself to one single song. ôThe only
track ("Detroit Jazzin'"), which has already been
released on the album, is still one of my
favorites in the club. Today I still get positive
feedback for it. However, I have put all my heart
and soul in "Interplanetary Motivations" because I
have dealt with this track very intensively. It is
timeless and unites a lot of moods.
Buy me if you love me :)
