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!
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.
Seems like an absolutely lovely guy
So cool that Todd Terjes randomly in this
Great interview with MCDE. That guy is one of my favorite producers/DJs. Good to see artists out there who are more about pushing quality music than just partying and fame.
I didn't think it would be possible to like MCDE even more than I already do, but it is! Thank you RA for this amazing feature.
Only just saw this such a good doc! Big ups RA.
Jeez, i still hope to see this guy around in Utrecht, such an inspiration.
Evisu jeans, Air Max's, West End shirt, Bob James record in the collection, great tunes... this dude knows what's up!
Shame it's not 1997
"once you're into music, there's no way out!"
- Motor City Drum Ensemble

great insight into a touring DJ - not all as glamorous as an outsider looking in! need more of these vids
not totaly into this kind of house, but very into this humanity and honesty... great doku..
More of these! Really really refreshing format!!
love the girl asking him to stay up till 8am :)))
This series is top notch!! Very personal glimpse into djs we love. Thanks!!
What a great documentary
I love MCDE. Need to see this guy play. Come to Manchester please!!
12:30 That Todd Terje - Motor City Drum Ensemble moment, damn!

Absolutely incredible Between the Beats.
True spirit ! Good & positive ! Nuff respect !

At 11.31 that is definitely a sample for a future track!
Definitely a nice one...and indeed seems to be a great guy apart of a great producer..

Amazing!!

Check 3.12 ..not everyone is as nego as you.
he says "you know" a lot lol
This series of documentaries is incredible. Keep e'm coming!
wow this was surprisingly personal - really well done RA! very mature and quality approach to documentary making
totaly agree
4:19 Does that oaf have any idea who the fuck he’s talking to?
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 agree! they shed light on the things you don't see when you watch a set, which is exactley why these docs are great.
I definitely understand what that sort of anxiety feels like.
Me too
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.
Me too luv the fact hes realy honest helps lots of people with the same issues like myself BIG RESPECT ❤❤
DR Claire Weekes... Please read her books if you have issues with this
He really reminds me of a Haruki Murakami protagonist: swimming as a kind of calming therapy, listening to music, living a contented, appreciative kind of lifestyle etc.
alabaster any movie suggestion?
So awesome to see a dj that isn't a complete psychopath
I really like this guy, he's calm, humble and not cocky at all. Would love to see him live.
MrBati122 Definitely a must see man.
seen a tiny bit of him at parklife 2018, super clean
There was nothing cool about that rewind
Danilo is such a G. Great label, great DJ.
Terrible dive at the start
We want more "between the beats" !!!
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 👍👍👍
What a lovely guy he is. I would not have been so cool about the rewind though!
Me neither! I thought that was a bit of dick move by Nic Tasker.
"let's say I haven't got into the 4 figures yet but there's 1 record I'm after right now. If I see this for sale I'm definitely gonna spend 4 figures"
PUREST AND DEEPEST PASSION FOR THE MUSIC AT 4:09
Love his openness. Love his music. So good to see the real deal. It is not high life all the time.
This guy is hands down the most underrated guy in dance music.
honestly recommend weed, for musical and anxiety healing purposes
One of the most inspiring videos i saw in last half a year!
Dj Sprinkles - Grand central Part I (MCDE Bassline Dub) @14:06
His best ever work IMO
If that bloke had rewound my record, he'd have got a slap...or a very stern look at the least ;)
what a sick guy I can relate
DJ Sprinkles - Grand Central Part 1 (MCDE Bassline Dub)
This was awesome, it would have been so funny if you had included a bath scene in this video too! :P
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.
Made In Usa - Never Gonna Let You Go (Theo Parrish Re-Edit) you're welcome!
Can't believe this came out 9 years ago can genuinely remember it being uploaded.
Miss the scenes series from then as well.
Made in USA - Never gonna let you go (Theo parrish re edit) - off his ugly edits series - vol.1, about 50 quid off discogs though!
RA - I watch this video almost every second day, I LOVED the Nina Kraviz BTB and the Martinez Brothers one was alright BUT.. I love the videos coming from the channel.. and would love to see more Between the Beat soon!!!
Spaghetti are not well cooked!
great series, it gives an insight in the life of touring
What a legend.
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.
10:12 track ID PLEASE!
