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. 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. 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.
