Every few years, an artist comes along and gives exactly what you need. Most of the time, you don't know what you need; but when it comes along, you realised it was required along. In my opinion that artist has since around 2008 been Danilo Plesslow aka Motor City Drum Ensemble. From his music (and his monikor), it would be easy to assume that the music you were hearing was from Detroit, but in fact this man was from Germany's own motor city, Stuttgart. His Raw Cuts series quickly captured the imagination of many house and techno heads, with its nod to classic house, disco and soul and his DJ sets and recorded podcasts showed his ear and appreciation of a wide selection of music. His remixes also quickly blew up and 'MCDE' was soon a household name.
Therefore following the excellent Wolf & Lamb V Soul Clap DJ Kicks in the spring, it was no surprise that !K7 asked Plesslow to mark his own mark, with a mix to soundtrack many people's summer.
This HUGE release drops on Monday and you only have to read all the press blurb and reactions from record shops and DJs alike to realise the excitement that has been generated. As with the majority of DJ Kicks releases, an original track from the artist is also included. 'L.O.V.E.' is up there with his best work yet!
