‘eIATROGENIC’ is the forthcoming EP by Wesqk Coast, the solo project of the Italian producer and DJ Davide Cannella, following his latest releases with the project ‘Paese Fertile’ on Opal Tapes and the acclaimed ‘S.T.A.S.H’ released by OOH-sounds.

The title refers to the damages and collateral effects linked to the application of information technology in the medical field. In ‘eIATROGENIC’, every track is realized at the first take. The result is research in the immediate relation with machines: discipline and control give birth to fake dichotomies in a co-existence between different plans.

The introductive track ‘Fuck Bureau’ gives a blasting start to the entire product, quantizing the time through a series of double-kick sonic assaults and ending in a fading stance. ‘God Damn Black Metal Head’ is a soundtrack for a primordial age made of mechanical beats and trap remnants, structured in a grid of martial and violent percussions. The disintegrate textures of ‘Lido’ recreate an environment based on dichotomies, in which a dynamic and thriving setting becomes gradually stifling and sidereal in an exhausting succession of panic and exaltation. This background made of oppressive behaviors continues in ‘Rimosso’, though its concatenations of polyrhythms, that chasing each other until the end when the beats collapse in a frozen miasma. ‘Unmet Needs’ results as an intersect between virtual voices and pending rhythms, leading to the frantic finale of ‘Jinn’.

The Italian experimental club scene has established itself as a pre-eminent force within the worldwide movement. One of the labels leading the charge is Rest Now!, a Venetian imprint specializing in contemporary forms of sound art and electronica. They first came to rise with an alternative soundtrack to the film Die Hard featuring artists such as Swan Meat, Lensk, Dasychira, and 111X re-purposing tracks from the original film score. Since then, they have released albums from the Detroit-based sound artist Infant and French multi-disciplinary artists Tristan and Migu. Now, they’re set to release a new album from the Italian producer Wesqk Coast.

On eIATROGENIC, Wesqk Coast explores the phenomenon of “iatrogenesis”, a term denoting adverse effects caused by medical treatments. With clinical exactitude, he merges the fields of club experimentalism and glitch synthesis to reveal the false dichotomy between humans and technology. Throughout eIATROGENIC, a sense of tension pervades, as if Wesqk Coast is testing out a hypothesis on the listener, triggering new neural pathways to activate in our brains. On lead single “Lido” the listener, or shall we say, subject, is presented with animate environments that form around an energizing synth lead and rolling toms.

***Rimosso - Premiere via AQNB***

Wesqk Coast (aka Davide Cannella) is releasing EP eIATROGENIC via London’s and Berlin’s Rest Now! on June 4, with preview track ‘Rimosso’ premiering on AQNB today. This record hybridizes dub electronics found across Cannella’s P A E S E F E R T I L E project on Opal Tapes with the lo-fi post-club rhythms of his 2019 record S.T.A.S.H. Cannella blends a range of genres on his debut with the London and Berlin-based label, purposing chaotic and unlocalized sonics for personal philosophical mediation.

Foreboding horn ambiences unfold over sampled zither melodies at the start of Wesqk Coast’s ‘Rimosso’. Pent-up polyrhythms break down into waves of modular synthesis, slowly rebuilding into somehow even more fragmented drum patterns. Cinematic synthesizer notations ascend lulling rhythmic flows before the composition collapses in its entirety.
