GaMaPaWa is an Italian techno-jazz quartet founded by three of the most talented musicians in the Milan's music scene: japanese composer and theremin player Gak Sato, electronic music professor and bass player Walter Prati and italo/argentinian DJ, composer and sound designer Painè Cuadrelli. 
The trio has then been joined by Mario Mariotti’s versatile trumpet for an experimental quartet which promotes the re-discovery of free jazz and contemporary improvisation blended with the electronic grooves finely shaped by the musical talent of Painè. What comes out is a fluid, free and creative jazz with a touch of techno, reminiscent of Miles Davies' electro-jazz lessons and evoking "Bitches Brew" subtle atmosphere.

Story Telling is the first EP by GaMaPaWa, each of the five tracks in the EP have a distinctive style and identity starting from the title track whose relaxed groove leaves plenty of space for the virtruoso solos of the Sato-Prati-Mariotti trio. Gianni Mimmo, another legend of Italian jazz, joins the trio playing his sax for the hypnotic grooves and textures designed by the band in “Max Dub” and “Nobossa” which pave the way for the final double act “Archi” and bonus track “Archi” remixed by Painè Cuadrelli.
The tracks have alredy been supported and aired by the Italian National Radio channel Radio Rai.

Tracklist:1. Story Telling / 2. Max Dub / 3. Nobossa / 4. Archi / 5. Archi - Painè Remix
Out on October 26th, Story Telling will be available on all digital platforms and in streaming.

Jazz-o-Tech, 2018

JOT005: Gamapawa - Max Dub

The Berlin-based project Flat Maze embodies the essence of the concept of Techno-Jazz. Their mix between the instrumental jazz solos with techno grooves and deep synths, results in an innovative sound. It aligns perfectly with the artistic manifesto of the Jazz-o-Tech label. The name Flat Maze comes from the fusion of two significant Berlin clubs: the ,B Flat" jazz club in Mitte and„Maze", an underground techno club in Kreuzberg. Stefano Mori, founder, producer, and live electronics act performer of the Flat Maze project, has long been active in the Berlin electronic music scene, with dj collectives like Mechatronica and Drei Groschen Disko. In the Flat Maze project, he collaborates with some of the most sought-after jazz musicians in the Berlin jazz-scene, such as Uri Gincel. Being the main live jazz musician of the project, Uri is also a composer alongside Stefano for Flat Maze's tracks. On Flat Maze's stage, musicians of the caliber of saxophonist Ori Jacobson, Sebastian Studnitzky and John-Dennis Renken can be seen. Flat Maze's performed it's unique sound at major festivals dedicated to the fusion of jazz with electronic music such as XJAZZ Berlin, Jazz:REfound in Turin, Jazz by the Sea in Fano, JazzMI in Milan; and in clubs both in Berlin and Milan, including sold-out performances at Kantine am Berghain, Suicide Circus, Sage Beach in Berlin Smolna in Warsaw and Bachelite Clab and Biko in Milan.
