FACES 003CD

This is the debut full-length release by Stuttgart's hotly-tipped Motor City Drum Ensemble, who has caused quite a stir with his collection of releases on his own MCDE imprint. Now, that material is compiled here along with three exclusive tracks. A heady mix of contemporary house and breezy techno, Danilo Plessow has an undeniable grasp of what makes people shake and shuffle on the dancefloor. Despite his German location (and as is hinted at by his moniker), he has a masterful grasp of the sound of Detroit, combined with heavy doses of soul and diva-disco blurts, all blended until creamy-smooth and groove-able. Also includes two cuts from new MCDE signing, Jayson Brothers -- one cut of swinging, kick-filled house and another cut of downtempo disco funk-groove, with piano samples and claps.
