Austrian-Greek Music Summer

May 31 was unforgettable, with elektro guzzi engaging with the audience of the Preveza Jazz Festival in an evening that carried their rhythm beyond the moment 🎷 ♪˚｡⋆!
Under the full moon and beside the sea, the amazing Austrian trio, Bernhard Hammer (guitar), Jakob Schneidewind (bass) and Bernhard Breuer on drums, brought an unparalleled burst of live techno energy to the stage, reaching new levels of live band adrenaline through their powerful, high-intensity performance of incredible technical discipline.

Austrian Embassy, Deputy Ambassador Philipp Wassermann, opened the highly anticipated 🇦🇹 performance, celebrating our partnership with the Preveza Jazz Festival and success in bringing innovative Austrian formations to local audiences through a world-class music experience.

Thank you organizers, artists, and all who shared this night with us!

elektro guzzi delivered an epic night full of rhythm and energy for the jazz-loving audience of the 25th Athens Jazz Festival.
With their electrifying stage presence, the dynamic 🇦🇹 Austrian trio Bernhard Hammer, Jakob Schneidewind and Bernhard Breuer presented a captivating blend of jazz and techno, immersing the audience in a live experience of rhythm until the very last note.
It is not by chance that elektro guzzi stand out as one of the most exciting musical presences of the contemporary European jazz and techno scene!

We are excited to announce our collaboration with the 24th Preveza Jazz Festival for this year, bringing Austrian live-techno trio elektro guzzi to the festival's open-air stage on Sunday, 31 May at 21:00.

Techno precision driven by live energy and analogue soul, Elektro Guzzi returns with their 11th studio album, Liquid Center, more focused than ever, yet more sonically open. Over the course of a year, the band developed a recording technique that translates their analogue live energy into a sound that captures both the physicality of a band in space and the cool abstraction of techno. A sound that doesn't chase loudness, but detail — clear, warm, deep, with an almost artificial precision. What’s coming has nothing to do with the jazz (or techno) you know!

Our collaboration with the Preveza Jazz Festival, with over two decades of musical presence, provides a unique opportunity for 🇦🇹 trio Elektro Guzzi to electrify Epirus's spectacular seaside stage!

Get ready to jive! 🎷♪
The Austrian-Greek Music Summer continues this year’s ultimate musical celebration, opening before the vast, music-loving audience of the 25th edition of Athens Jazz!
The renowned Austrian🇦🇹 trio elektro guzzi will take the stage as headliner on Saturday, 30 May, the most danceable day of the festival!

Bernhard Hammer on guitar, Jakob Schneidewind on bass, and Bernhard Breuer on drums, the Vienna-based band is set to perform their mind-blowing analogue techno without laptops or loopers. With precision and cohesiveness that border on the artificial, challenging our preconceptions of jazz (and techno) with their unique sonic identity.

Each year, we are thrilled to collaborate with prominent festivals such as the Athens Jazz Festival. Our partnership enables us to support talented young Austrian musicians and enrich their international dialogue within the Greek music community.
