Between The Beats: Motor City Drum Ensemble | Resident Advisor

Two years ago Danilo Plessow was one of the busiest DJs on the circuit. But after releasing a string of sought-after EPs and compiling a DJ-Kicks mix in 2011, the Stuttgart native known to most as Motor City Drum Ensemble suddenly disappeared from view, and his previously packed release schedule all but dried up.
MCDE is now back on tour, which is where the latest installment of Between the Beats finds him. We shadowed Plessow from the Boiler Room and Corsica Studios in London to a gig in Aix-en-Provence and an appearance at Lyon's Nuits Sonores festival, with a stopover at his new home in Utrecht in between. During the time we spent with him, he told us the full story behind what led up to his disappearance from public view, what happened during his enforced break and what's changed since.

    "Once you're into music there is no way out... If you're in it for real... if you're in it for the right reasons... you will never lose this. This is always going to stick around with you." Well spoken Danilo!

    Probably the best name in the business. And incredibly refreshing for this to start off with him conversing about his anxiety. These docs are tip top.

    I was in the show at Aix-en-Provence. Never seen such a good DJ there. This place close at 1 a.m, and generally, there is nobody at the end because everybody move out to other places. But this time, everybody wanted the DJ to stay (this is at 10:50). One of the greatest DJ's i've seen in my life.

    This is great to see an artist just being open and honest. It’s easy for people to make assumptions just because he’s playing a massive crowd that he must be doing great. I’ve been having anxiety problems for a while and it’s nice to see how he explains it. Been into his tunes for a good few years, he rocks the boiler room too, would love to see him live 👍👍👍

    Its just important to know that these feelings multiply on each other and that in the end your thoughts are the ones causing you to feel the way you are feeling. Breath, and trust that it will pass. For me, music always helps to sooth my mind when I cant get off of these negative topics.

    I felt the same problem when anxiety came to my life in the middle of my career. Had to stop too. But when u understand that it's only a thing that u must accept and let to be with u, u become stronger and it slowly dissapears cause ure not focusing on it. And also, i came back to djing and improved my sets cause now my negative emotions are not affecting the result. All has something good for you. Just learn of it.

    Can't believe this is 10 years old! Hope he got sorted out; he has something called GAD, a general anxiety disorder; it's the worst fit for the DJ lifestyle as the best way to treat it is routine, exercise, healthy eating, and therapy & therapeutics if it's really bad. Things to avoid, booze, drugs, stress, working odd hours, excessive travel, potentially he was doing all the things that heighten the effects of GAD. Booze is the big one, anything that suppresses the nervous system is a bad idea if you have anxiety. It tends to go away on it's own when you change your lifestyle.
