Restive Plaggona is the project of Dimitris Doukas, a Greek producer known for his heavy and dramatic lo-fi/industrial soundscapes with subtle traces of darker forms of techno. Dimitris is a particularly productive musician, having released more than a dozen records on such labels as Moral Defeat, Yerevan Tapes, NEN Records as well as his own Several Minor Promises over the course of two years. Rhythmic intensity is of prime importance to his work, going together with the general rawness of his sonic palette. It is no wonder that Dimitris releases most of his music on tapes as the rough density of his tracks fits this format pretty well. Within the output of Restive Plaggona’s he merges the epic and the claustrophobic and creates the effect of suspended drama and tension as if something is about to explode every second. His latest record under this moniker, Silently Hopelessly is coming out on Thrènes on Dec. 15, 2017. A more mellow and ambientish side to Dimitris is revealed through his Leftina Osha project. Here he focuses on floating melancholic compositions with a picturesque cinematic feel. Apart from these two, he is also behind Matriarchy Roots, a feminist and women’s rights focused noise project, as well as the more techno oriented Plaggona and Vile Temper. <a href="https://www.last.fm/music/Restive+Plaggona">Read more on Last.fm</a>.
