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.

DJ Plant Texture - Life

Artist: Terence Fletcher
Cat. No.: W133009
EP Name: Saliva EP
Release Date: 21.2.2024
Label: W133
Foto: Philipp Roth
Mastering: Dokusan Mastering

We welcome Terence Fletcher to the label for the first release of 2025.
The Göppingen-based artist, more commonly known as Jannik Aßfalg, premieres his first solo EP under his new dub-focused alias. The emerging music enthusiast and co-founder of Diffraction is definitely one to watch not only in terms of production and DJing, but also in the development of great computational tools to enhance these crafts.
For W133 he delivers four highly detailed and funky originals. Starting off on the A side, „Saliva“, a nasty bass roller with dubby water-infused stabs and a break kick pattern that flows underneath the arpeggios. Later on, mesmerizing vocals give the tune a special touch you will have in your head for a long time. „Shifting“ on A2 is a dreamer, melodic pads with long dub delays set the mood to lose yourself in nostalgia.
On the flip side, we get a bit more funky with „Base95“. A house stomper with live guitar played in by Jannik’s friend Valle. Following on B2, we enjoy the deep roller „Dubheim“. Growling basslines and marching percs will defo keep you moving. Last on the record, we are happy to have label mainstay Lask back on remixing duties. She delights us with a slightly more psychedelic version of Shifting, with many glitches and bleepy effects.
The release is due 21.2.2025 digitally and as a limited 25 copies dubplate edition complemented by fully printed cover artworks with photographs by Philipp Roth.

From the outset, 'Magallanes' asserts itself with rolling drum patterns and pulsating synths, locking listeners into its hypnotic rhythm. Hypnotic synth pulses weave through the track, building tension gradually until it breaks into a dense, rhythmic crescendo.

Next up, 'Turn the Tables' lives up to its name, amplifying the energy with snapping hi-hats, deep bass momentum, and restrained synth modulations. A functional yet immersive trip through layered percussive textures.

The B-side offers a deeper, more atmospheric twist.
'Cycle Break' channels a groove-heavy, tribal-infused flow, using intricate rhythmic interplay and distant, metallic textures to create a track that breathes and expands across the mix.

Rounding out the release, 'Set A Dot' leans into pure forward motion, with skittering percussion, sharp synths, and a rolling low-end pulse, making it a go-to tool for seamless DJ layering and extended club sets.

With 'Set A Dot', Chontane refines his signature style, delivering tracks that are meticulously detailed and irresistibly powerful.
A journey through rhythm, texture, and raw energy.
