Elektro Guzzi

Who better to headline the most danceable day in this year’s Athens Jazz line-up but Elektro Guzzi, a live man-machine praised by Resident Advisor for making mind-blowing analogue techno from a classic rock set-up (guitar, drums, bass). This trio delivers unexpected, unconventional, intricate four by four beats on the spot, in real time, no loopers or computers. It’s no wonder they have swept through cutting edge festivals like Roskilde, Sónar, Mutek, Melt! and Stop Making Sense, while filling the dance floors of such major clubbing landmarks as Fabric and Berghain. With precision and cohesiveness that border on the artificial, Elektro Guzzi have already answered the question of how a band can best embody a confident physicality without succumbing to the cold minimalism of techno. Forget everything you think you know about jazz (or techno) and prepare for an electrifying live performance unlike any other.
