E-Saggila

My World My Way was the name of E-Saggila's 2019 album, and it encapsulates her brazen approach to sound, which chews up and spits out everything from noise to breakcore to techno. The Iraq-born, Toronto-based artist has always revelled in the contrast between tempos, shocking rhythms and distorted textures. Part of the thrill is the sense that it could all collapse at any moment, whether she is releasing on her own Summer Isle label or on Opal Tapes, Hospital Productions and Northern Electronics. Her sets bring her dystopian visions to life: pulsating bass, squealing synths, scratchy melodies and hyper-driven percussion racing into the unknown, cerebral and cinematic yet built to cause carnage in a club.
