Motor City Drum Ensemble has mixed the next edition of [I]DJ-Kicks[/I], due out this summer on !K7.
The release will be Danilo Plessow's first official mix CD. Known for his bass-heavy, soul-inspired sound, the Stuttgart-based artist put out a string of records between 2007 and 2009 that made him a favorite among DJs and house music fans, most notably the [I]Raw Cuts[/I] 12-inch series. The mix looks to be a particularly diverse affair, with plenty of nods to Plessow's influences, starting off with experimental jazz gods Sun Ra and moving through selections from [url="http://www.mercuryserver.com/forums/djdb.php?id=138"]Aphex Twin[/url], Rhythm & Sound, Tony Allen and Loose Joints. Classic house fare comes in the form of Mr. Fingers and [url="http://www.mercuryserver.com/forums/djdb.php?id=1527"]Recloose[/url], while Fred P (AKA Black Jazz Consortium) brings the ethereal touch with "On This Vibe." An exclusive Motor City Drum Ensemble track is included as well, entitled "L.O.V.E."
