BIO:
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 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, an audio-visual live show there, a Resident Advisor podcast feature or an album with a full trombone ensemble in between – Elektro Guzzi are always on the move.
“A force to be reckoned with.” – Resident Advisor
“A unique and intriguing proposition; they make analogue brain frying techno but they do so by using the classic rock set-up of guitar, bass, and drums.” – Bleep
“The trio blend the hypnotic precision of robotic electronic dance music with the powerful energy of a live band – and it’s something truly awesome to witness live.” – The Quietus
“Probably one of the best live techno bands.“ – Electronic Beats
“Instantly […] a crowd favourite!” – Mutek Festival
“The best way to approach Elektro Guzzi is in a state of ignorance. When you´re deep into their electronic grip, that´s the moment to learn that it´s all played live. As you pick your jaw up off the floor, you can ponder the discipline and determination.“ – Wire
“One of the most unconventional 4/4 outfits of current times.“ – Resident Advisor
