Spring Rolls - Live Recording #001

Donato Basile AKA DJ Plant Texture always wants his music to tell a story, and with his debut EP on Tresor Records, entitled Life, he’s now trying to tell the biggest story there is.

According to the artist, “Life is about the fear of growing up”; both the anxiety itself and acknowledging and moving past it.

This narrative seems to have struck a chord with those who have heard the track, “People want to reflect themselves in the music; something personal. Lots of people have been in touch after hearing it; I guess they feel something melancholic in it. Personally, I imagine the track is like the life of a person; going from being born through childhood and youth and onwards, so perhaps they hear this?”

Having used an MPC since the early 2000s, Basile feels an intuitive connection to the hardware he uses, and so the creative process is very spontaneous: “I know where everything is so the music is made immediately.  I make everything in the first ten minutes; after that if it’s not right then I just abandon it and start something else.”

This immediacy, and familiarity with his equipment is apparent on the A-side, where Basile’s previous life as a drummer comes to the fore and tracks like Cycles and Ripetivo display his native understanding of groove but also how to stir things up - the three A-side tracks find classic techno rhythms seemingly falling apart only to snap back into place even stronger.

The B-side finds Donato exploring more of his melodic side with WTT and the aforementioned title track showing Plant Texture’s love of breakbeat and classic techno.

The three digital bonus tracks continue this exploration of melody and syncopated beats - The EXP Days echos the wistful feeling of Life, as Basile meditates on the times spent at EXP, his record shop in Bari, which functioned as a meeting place for electronic producers in the area. 

Together the eight tracks show a breadth of knowledge and ability of an artist that has grown older and more experienced over time, and is ready to share his evolution.

Hearing Oxygene, Visage etc at his aunties as a kid, then being around the sounds of electro and early dance music in the 80s/90s. This is when he discovered the sound of techno & its culture. At the age  of 19 he started playing on the turntables and buying records whenever he can. Alongside that hitting the rave scene in 1991 regularly going to iconic techno clubs in the UK for a solid number of years. His passion became self evident on a very personal level. And today the same ethics still apply he quotes “it’s a lifestyle it’s part of you it’s that simple. Vinyl has a human element all of its own you can feel it in your hands”. Over the years Matt has been involved with some parties, curated Reptilian Transmission podcast on Fnoob. And currently has been focused on a collaborative record label project Solemne Records. Which he founded with artists Cyd & Clefomat.  The label now enters its 7th year with 56 releases to date , with an integral ethos of exploration in varied electronic musicality.
