In this Get2Know interview, Saso and AKA DarkKnight of Planta Industrial open up about how growing up between the Bronx and the Dominican Republic shaped their genre-bending sound.
Raised in a true cultural melting pot, the duo blends post-punk, dark wave, electronic, pop, bachata, hip-hop, and Spanglish rap into music that feels raw, atmospheric, and deeply rooted in Afro-Caribbean identity. They reflect on bilingual upbringing, creative freedom, chosen community, and the long grind behind their breakout moment.
Planta Industrial is carving out a bold new lane in the New York music scene, pushing boundaries while staying true to who they are.
