"When did I fall in love?" Danilo Plessow, known to the world of dance music as Motor City Drum Ensemble, echoes the question. Wearing the kind of smile that indicates true love, first love, the kind of love that will never leave you, he gazes upon a city park. A bunch of kids are playing catch. He was their age when he fell in love for the first time: with the beat. So he started playing the drums. That beat is his companion to this day. Having morphed through all kinds of forms its recent incarnation is delivered to the public on his amazing, genre blending DJ-Kicks mix; a mix more than worthy of the series' history of ruthless experimentation with, and re-definition of, the Mix CD medium. Danilo was always incredibly young with things. He started producing at the age of eleven—"way too early" as he jokes—having his first release out just five years later: Inverse Cinematics' "Slow Swing", released in Pulver Records in 2002, found its way into Ricardo Villalobos' record bag as well as onto one of the first Fabric mix CDs. An album under the same name and a string of EPs followed. "It was really important how young I was, not just how and where I was raised. That naivety when it comes to things, like, 'does it sound good?' or 'are you even allowed to do it like this?' Those things never concerned me and in large part that was due to my age. It was good having that kind of light heartedness! Also, in those years, you are like a sponge and just so enthusiastic! That can absolutely lead the way."
