12.03.2010 album release

Man/Machine: Vienna’s Elektro Guzzi challenge the meaning of “live” in electronic music. Bored of laptop sets? With a “classic” setup of guitar, bass and drums, Elektro Guzzi quantize themselves to an unheard level of discipline, tightness and danceability. No computers, no pre-recorded loops, no solos. Probably the first time techno is really played live. As sequential as they may sound, they couldn’t be more analogue. But however traditional they may look as a band, they certainly do not sound like one. Produced by Patrick Pulsinger, the tracks from the first single “Hexenschuss” and “Elastic Bulb” are great dancefloor movers, state of the art analogue recordings and prime examples of Elektro Guzzi’s incredible creative capabilities. Played live with no overdubs, these tracks break down the demarcation separating man and machine. Everything in techno has been done? You ain’t heard nothing yet. Debut album out may 2010 on Macro. Track license already signed for Optimo Fabric mix CD!

James Holden (Border Community) BRILLIANT. I really like it, just what everyone needed.

Ivan Smagghe (Kill the DJ) You know I am not a man of many compliments but this is genuinely great... very original, which is rare these days...had to be said. Looking forward to this. And would love to see the live.

Tim Goldsworthy (DFA) Elastic Bulb is awesome!

JD Twitch (Optimo) I love it, particularly "Hexenschuss"! Will request for our Fabric mix CD.

Damian Lazarus (Crosstown Rebels) Wicked!! Love this.

Nico de Ceglia (BBC Radio 1) I love it!!!! Didn't know about these guys, thanks for making me discover them.
 
Oliver Ho (Raudive/Macro) Really great stuff, I love the quality of the sounds, and the minimalism of the instruments. I think the improvised nature of this really works, too. I look forward to the album!
Falko Brocksieper (Sub Static) This has a stronger techno feel than tons of commonly produced techno. Will try (!) to mix & looking forward to the album!
