ELEKTRO GUZZI have been called many names: man-machine, clockwork, techno organism.
A trio of guitar, bass and drums, Elektro Guzzi overcome the boundary between analogue versus digital, performing techno live with the drive of a machine and the sonic detail of an instrument – without any computers or loopers.
The unparalleled appeal of their unique, energetic live performance – you see how every sound is created, right there, on the spot – has made them a primary choice for cutting edge dance music festivals like Roskilde, Sónar (2x official program), Mutek, Melt!, Stop Making Sense, C/O Pop, Eurosonic, Extrema, Iceland Airwaves, Sziget, Dancity, Spring Festival and many more across Europe, North and Latin America and Japan. In addition to that, their journey has taken Elektro Guzzi to most of Europe’s clubs, including performances at Fabric and every single floor at Berghain.
A collaborative EP with KiNK here, a new audio-visual live show there, a Resident Advisor podcast or an album with a trombone ensemble in between – Elektro Guzzi are always on the move, always evolving. The trio’s latest brainchild is their own label Palazzo Recordings, a DIY platform for rougher sounds and works by visual artists, with a series of parties in their hometown of Vienna to celebrate each release.
