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.

Yuzu aka Milena Georgieva is Sofia-born, Vienna-based DJ, composer and artist. Her approach towards music is unorthodox, following the lead of personal obsessions and curiosity. In her compositions she is working with synthesized auralities, concrete textures, and a weave of field recordings and samples, that trace virtual and actual soundscapes. Personal happy/horror stories and intimate fears, glued together by pleasures and desires are irregularly penetrated by algoraving beats further shaping these mutant bodies of sound into an angelic beast.

Likewise her DJ-sets transgress genre boundaries forming far out and uanticipated narratives. Complex sound gestalts emerge through non-conform and offbeat mixing strategies. She plays with building up and releasing tension, while oscillating between airy and dense textures, hi and lo tempo and so leading through unexpected flows of happy, dark, ecstatic, hard, concrete, and defragmented, clear and distorted. Raging beasts dissolve into ambience, hymnic angels arise to usher in flames of noise, spanked out by acidic beats.

Yuzu has been witnessed in Vienna, Berlin, London, Sofia, Linz, Innsbruck as well as at Wiener Festwochen, ImpulsTanz, Elevate Festival, Unsafe + Sounds Festival, Velak Gala, Kulturtankstelle Linz, WAF Gallery, New new World Radio, Berlin Community Radio and FLUCA among others.
