Danilo Plessow aka Motor City Drum Ensemble was born in Stuttgart, a city he shared with the real Motor City industrial area: night shifts, the sounds of metal and a desire for payback. The first half of his alias is dedicated to his own home town but also to the sound of Detroit, its soul venues and dusty factories where techno was born. Drum Ensemble on the other hand was inspired by one of his first loves: percussion. It was percussion and jazz that had an impact on his musical development from the very beginning. The mix of these two influences has made MCDE one of the most esteemed DJs and producers on the scene and his house music with its refined melodies and powerful vocals will keep you glued to the dance floor.
