Motor City Drum Ensemble ‎– Raw Cuts # 3 / Raw Cuts # 4

repress alert!!!

All the Moodymann comparisons aside...this is very nice deep house. Both cuts shine on this platter and IMHO are equally as groovy or as good as anything Moodymann ever produced (Here come the angry replies!). Who cares if they were made ten years later, good deep house / disco is good whenever it was made. Daniel Plessow clearly is a house music head and if any of the MCDE EP's pay homage to someone as good as Moodymann, I say knock yerself out and just keep making tunes that groove. Both Raw cut 3 and 4 have that late night feel about them, the soft and subtle play between night and day. They are spacey and deep but with a good and nicely mixable kick. This is house music for the house music head.

Sounds like a European Moodyman rip off 10 years later. Not sure what all the hype is about.
