Must Watch - Between The Beats : Motor City Drum Ensemble

Resident Advisor has brought together a glimpse into the world of one of the

biggest and youngest names in House music : Motor City Drum Ensemble.

No, it's not an ensemble by any standards, but when you listen to his production,

hear his mixes or have the chance to see him live, your ears truly hear an ensemble of sound.

 

Recently featured on the Resident Advisor website is a short film that

documents the life and travels of one Motor City Drum Ensemble.

Enjoy.

Motor City Drum Ensemble: The Hidden Beats That Will Change Your Life. Part 1

The Hidden Beats That Will Change Your Life.

 Rarely do I tell my close friends that before I play them a song for the first time,

I preface by saying, "It will change your life".

To clarify that statement; YOU determine the rate of change 

and for how long it will change your life. 

It is not a blanket statement that covers your whole life... but sometimes songs can do that.

Motor City Drum Ensemble is one of the most elusive House Producer and DJ in the world.

Hailing from Eastern Europe, Motor City Drum Enxemble is a young, up and coming producer genius, who's music has changed my life many times over. 

He is one of the truest Deep House producers who 

pays tribute to the original roots of Detroit House by bearing it's name (Motor City)

 and with his beat style. Combining the up-beat 70's and 80's disco style along with a popping blend of Chicago and Deep House beat, Motor City Drum Ensemble will almost always get your butt moving whether you're sitting down or just getting up to get down.

We here at Upperhands have been mildly obsessed with Motor City Drum Ensemble since his 

"Raw Cuts Volumes" came out in 2010 

and you can not find fault with his "DJ Kicks: Motor City Drum Ensemble" 

mix which was released in 2011, and we feel you should 

become mildly obsessed too by checking out all that Motor City Drum Ensemble has to offer.

This post is being put together to celebrate the new wave of production and remixes from 

Motor City Drum Ensemble. All tracks below were released in 2012 and 2013.

All tracks can be purchased on either Beatport, iTunes or Amazon.
