Planta
Industrial is a raw genre-bending project out of
New York, put together by Bronx born Dominican artists Saso and Aka The Darknight. Fusing
post-punk, dark wave, electronic, pop, and spanglish rap, they’re
creating a revolutionary soundscape. The duo blends heavy, atmospheric
vibes with a rich cultural influence, pushing a sound that’s both dark
and vibrant, leading the charge in a new wave of music that’s uniting
various demographics and reshaping the New York scene. The deep Afro-Caribbean
sound that pulses through
Planta Industrial is a product of both Saso and Aka The Darknight
growing up between the Bronx and the Dominican Republic. Despite their similar
upbringings, the pair didn’t meet until 2008 in high school, forming a bond
that would eventually nurture their artistic abilities. A few years later,
around 2014, Saso
left law school and started his music career with Aka The Darknight,
helping with creative direction and some lyrical ideas behind the scenes. Their
partnership took a pause when Aka
moved to Los Angeles, where he developed a love for songwriting for other
artists before deciding to release his music. In 2024, Saso and Aka
decided to collab on a song for the first time with both of them featured. They
released “That’s
My Bitch” and went viral on social media, that’s when they knew
it was the right time to come together, creating Planta Industrial. After years of friendship
and their personal artistic ventures, Saso
and Aka The Darknight are ready to take on the world with Planta Industrial.
Their music bursts with bold, rhythmic energy, bringing a gritty, raw edge to
their tracks, already catching the attention of the musical performance
platform COLORSxSTUDIOS,
debuting a vibrant production of their fiery song “Oi”
& A
COLORS ENCORE performance of “Anormales.”
Recently, the band opened for El
Alfa at his NY show, and coming up they will be hitting the LAMC Summer Stage
in Central Park on Wednesday, July 9th. New music and more news from Planta Industrial soon!
