ELEKTRO GUZZI have been called many names: man-machine, clockwork, techno organism. It is one like no other. By now, the 3 Austrian wizards have become the preeminent techno band. A trio of guitar, bass and drums, they play murder beats with the drive of a machine and the sonic detail of an instrument.
The unparalleled appeal of matching sound and performance vision in real time – you see how every sound is created, right there, on the spot – have made them a primary choice for cutting edge festivals like Roskilde, Sónar (2x official programm), Mutek, Melt!, Stop Making Sense, C/O Pop, Eurosonic, Extrema, Iceland Airwaves, Sziget, Dancity, Spring Festival, Positivus and a long list of others across Europe, North and Latin America and Japan. In parallel they have conquered the club circuit from Berghain to Fabric, Trouw to Arma17.
Elektro Guzzi was nominated 4 times for the Austrian Grammy, the Amadeus and won the EBBA (Europen Border Breakers Award) in 2012.

Elektro Guzzi´s third masterpiece "Observatory" is out since May and, of course, getting raving reviews.
Elektro Guzzi has been going strong since the release of their debut album in 2010, and they are making it their aim to blow away what you thought live techno music could sound like (and how its made). Do Androids Dance (UK)
>> The creation of "Observatory" marks Elektro Guzzi´s best recording so far. Because the trio achieved to emancipate from the reproduction of techno and advanced into psychedelic fields without leaving behind any precision or strength. SPEX (DE)
>> Best techno band in the world. Even if Jeff Mills, Carl Craig and Mike Banks would form an all instrumental band, it would sound as great as Elektro Guzzi. This is how techno is able to sound if its done with a contemporary approach. The Gap (AT)
>> I LOVE THIS BAND - says President Bongo of Gus Gus (ICE)
Observatory is a rich sonic tapestry: driving 4/4 grooves layered with what are most likely guitar FX plus some other unidentifiable crackly bits. You might be forgiven for thinking this lot trade on a gimmick but the result is subtle and compelling. An undeniable aural treat. The Crack (UK)

RocketNumberNine (UK)

Two years on from the release of their second RocketNumberNine album 'MeYouWeYou', London-born brothers in synth-and-drum Ben and Tom Page announce their return to the liveimprov fray with a crisp new black-and-white Split Vinyl 12” for Border Community: the James Holden-produced live take recordings of two track 12” 'Two Ways'.

Fresh from their round the world travels with Neneh Cherry (who put the brothers' synth and drum expertise to good use on her 2014 'Blank Project' album) and James Holden (who drafted in Tom Page on drums as part of his own new live touring incarnation), the RocketNumberNine brothers are now ready to return to the symbiotic improvisational partnership where it all began. Recorded over two days in Holden's London studio, the 'Two Ways' 12” captures the brothers at the peak of their performative powers, as Tom's signature jazz-tinged drum flourishes and Ben's responsive, expressive nineties keys are now fleshed out with an extra drummer-driven melodic dimension thanks to Tom's eager incorporation of the tuned percussion of his new drum synthesizer.
