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.

Suffer with me

Gustavo Marques, conhecido como Logit, é um nome em ascensão na cena techno underground brasileira. Natural de São Paulo, o DJ e produtor de 25 anos carrega uma relação visceral com a música eletrônica desde a infância, quando descobriu o hardstyle — gênero que despertou sua fascinação por batidas intensas e atmosferas pulsantes. Essa paixão inicial moldou sua identidade musical, que hoje se desdobra em um estilo eclético, transitando entre Hardtechno, Hardgroove e Hardance, sempre com uma pegada energética e visceral que reflete sua conexão com as pistas de dança.

Sua jornada como criador começou em 2022, quando mergulhou nos estudos de produção musical, buscando traduzir em sons a essência caótica e hipnótica que tanto o inspirava em festivais e eventos underground.

Autodidata e movido pela curiosidade, Logit rapidamente desenvolveu uma assinatura sonora marcada por linhas de baixo distorcidas, grooves orgânicos e uma estética que dialoga tanto com a escuridão industrial europeia quanto com a efervescência das raves brasileiras.

Sua primeira estreia ocorreu na festa "Berlim" ocorrida no icônico "Bunker 741", a primeira festa que teve destaque no estabelecimento, tendo a função de warmup da pista, dividindo o line com grandes nomes da cena underground.

Seu primeiro destaque em um line foi na "LovHard" tocando Hard Techno, onde juntou diferentes públicos em uma só festa!
