Infos :

Its been 6 years since Danilo Plessow aka Motor City Drum Ensemble first emerged on the scene with his debut 12inch released on his own MCDE Recordings imprint.
Appropriately titled "Raw Cuts", the two tracks would start of a series of raw house jams Danilo made in his studio using old school samplers and drum machines,
a sound that at the time was far away from being status quo.
Having been heavily influenced by Soul, Jazz, House and Techno emerging from both the Motor City and beyond, Danilo found his signature sound - sample-based, raw,
emotional and mature tracks.
MCDE released two more "Raw Cuts" twelve inches in the coming years and it wouldn't be wrong to call them modern house classics - each of the records found support from all over the globe, from Moodymann to Gilles Peterson, and especially the last record of the series (Raw Cuts 5 & 6) was just everywhere in the year 2010.

What better way to end a concept series than to invite some people for remixing those tracks? People that inspired him to do this music in the first place:
Marcellus Pittman of 3 Chairs fame, Mike Huckaby, one of Detroit`s house heroes and synth nerd per excellence, plus lastly Recloose, whose unique approach to the Detroit sound has been a favorite of Danilo for years.

With a package this strong we will not bore you with more praise - just listen and enjoy.

V Romanza is a deeply minimal track built around a beautiful Spanish guitar lead that becomes the emotional core of the piece. The guitar flows gently over a stripped-back, dub-leaning groove, creating a warm and intimate atmosphere. Subtle textures, space and restraint give the track a timeless feel, where melody and minimalism coexist naturally. A contemplative cut that invites close listening as much as it does late-night movement.

Like its 1999 (BoogieTek Records)

“Dombre” is a 14-track album that balances minimalism with deliberate surprises. Many of the tracks deliberately hold back, allowing space and groove to take effect—until the bridges come in and open up new twists and turns.
Stylistically, the album moves between tech house, deep house, and melodic house, with a focus on details, textures, and tension rather than obvious drops. “Dombre” is not a loud statement, but an album that unfolds further with each listen.
