about

Cue the record: "Music, Please." Mistress 18 and Mistress 18.5 are a joyful celebration of dance music’s diverse identities. Pressed in tandem, each record draws upon Donato Basile’s dual aliases, Dona vs. DJ Plant Texture, to go head-to-head, blending rhythmic machine grooves and masterful MPC work.

Mistress 18 emerges with "Please", a dust-filled, Motown City smoker and tastefully obvious ode to Detroit legend J Dilla. "The Beat" and "Maladcà" (Puglia-slang meaning “crazy cool”) welcome the soulful and deeper side of house. As “Dopamine Way” vibrates through the speakers, a 90s-inspired hip hop interlude begins to play, begging for a scratch battle on wax. “Emotions” takes us to disco-glittered-house, a dancefloor track to welcome the upcoming rays of sun. Side B’s "Avoiding The Bro Game" and "Shadows (Meditation Mix)", bring stomping, funk-driven techno.

To evolve dance music’s sound, the greats often recount digging through their parents’ soul, disco, and jazz records, reworking and sampling them until a new groove was born; so too in this method does Donato pull from his diverse musical influences to bring us his own beat; one that balances nostalgia and futurism. Mistress 18 & 18.5 are love letters to the artform and a cross-genre formation ushering us to get out of our heads and back into the groove.
