Motor City Drum Ensemble - www.motorcitydrumensemble.com
At the tender age of 6, Danilo Plessow`s path in music started with playing drums. With his engagement in a school bigband he found his love for jazz - and from 11 years of age on he started working on his own music using a computer and samples.
Being influenced by Jazz, Soul, Funk, Hiphop and House music, the first results were already released 5 years later on Stuttgart's Pulver Records. Together with Joachim Tobias, Danilo had formed the House and Broken Beat project ´Inverse Cinematics`: Seven 12 inch Records, one LP and many remixes and compilation appearances followed.
The project was and still is a favourite of some of the worlds most influential leftfield DJs such as Gilles Peterson, Rainer Trueby [with whom Danilo just started a collaboration], Michael Ruetten or Benji B. After several other collaborations and solo projects in the Nujazz vein [Hipster Wonkaz with P.Valentino for Ubiquity Records or solo as Aphro Pzyko for Raw Fusion], Danilo went back to his House music roots with the ´Motor City Drum Ensemble`.
Taking influences from soul, disco and detroit and chicago 90`s house, the new moniker soon became his best known: He released five 12 inch in 2008, and especially his 'Raw Cuts' series made him a shooting star in the deep house scene, highlighted by the internets house and techno bible 'Resident Advisor' for whom he did a mixtape that is soon regarded as one of the best mixes of this influential podcast.
In times when even big labels struggle to sell 500 copies, MCDE`S 'Raw Cuts' series, released on his own label 'MCDE' [run together with P. Valentino] sold a few thousands each, and his other own label 'Four Roses Recordings` has been doing very good as well. 2009 started with a 12 inch for one of UK`s biggest house labels, 20:20 Vision, and Danilo now hits the road on a regular again to show some of his DJ skills, which have brought him all over Europe, the US and Russia...
Perc - www.perctrax.com
Building up successful relationships with scene-leading labels such as Drumcode, Ovum, Kompakt and CLR whilst unleashing a strong run of releases on his own Perc Trax label has seen Perc’s influence and support grow even further. With each release his sonic experimentation has taken another leap forward without losing sight of the dance floor.
2009’s ‘Throb’ on Ovum and ‘Submit’ on CLR brought Perc his first support from the key Berlin tastemakers and his 2010 releases including ‘BCG’ [Perc Trax] and ‘Monad V’ [Stroboscopic Artefacts] have made him an essential artist for those with an interest in techno that refuses to conform to preconceptions. 2010 has ended on a high with a trio of releases for Perc including his third EP on CLR, a collaboration with Italy's Modern Heads on Stroboscopic Artefacts and a split 12" with rising star Sawf on Perc Trax.
As a DJ and live act Perc has covered all of Europe plus multiple tours of USA, Canada, Mexico, South Africa and Japan. Personal highlights for Perc's touring include a back-to-back set with Oliver Ho in Tokyo, his debut at Tresor in early 2010, being part of the Drumcode tent at Dance Valley in 2008 and playing on the same bill as Richie Hawtin and Speedy J at 2008’s Electric Deluxe Queen’s Day party at Melkweg, Amsterdam. Fast forward to 2013...
