Born and raised in Amsterdam, Pieter a.k.a. Basistolia grew up listening to Joris Voorn, NTO and Pink Floyd on repeat. A quiet child, Basistolia discovered a passion for self-expression through music with a message. His music is always carefully selected to this day. In 2020, a brush with a serious health issue made it clear that there was no time to lose in pursuing music further. And so DJ and aspiring producer Basistolia came into being. The name "Basistolia" is derived from the Italian medical term "𝘢𝘴𝘪𝘴𝘵𝘰𝘭𝘪𝘢", meaning: "...𝘵𝘩𝘦 𝘩𝘦𝘢𝘳𝘵'𝘴 𝘦𝘭𝘦𝘤𝘵𝘳𝘪𝘤𝘢𝘭 𝘴𝘺𝘴𝘵𝘦𝘮 𝘩𝘢𝘴 𝘴𝘩𝘶𝘵 𝘥𝘰𝘸𝘯 𝘢𝘯𝘥 𝘵𝘩𝘦𝘳𝘦 𝘪𝘴 𝘯𝘰 𝘩𝘦𝘢𝘳𝘵𝘣𝘦𝘢𝘵". But there is no stopping Basistolia’s beats. He is now seeking larger audiences to share his sound, which combines driving rhythms, grooving tunes with a sprinkling of vocals. Basistolia’s sound can be best described as energetic, deep and euphoric.
