Danilo Plessow (MCDE)

Few DJ’s and producers underscore the ‘deep’ in ‘deep house’ quite like Danilo Plessow. His sample-based Raw Cuts series on his influential imprint Motor City Drum Ensemble gained almost mythical status among clubbers and tastemakers alike. Plessow harnesses a visionary ability to fuse samples with hardware – crafting club music from that same gut feeling and spirituality as the records it inspires.
