Maurizio Dami makes his debut on the music scene as the founding-member of Avida, a "dance -cabaret band" featuring Daniele Trambusti and Stefano Fuochi and releasing a 7''track "La bustina" published by Materiali Sonori in 1981.
He then attains international popularity under the pseudonym "Alexander Robotnick" and his track "Problèmes d'amour", published first by the Italian label Materiali Sonori and then by Sire-Wea , becomes a "cult track" of dance music.

In 1984 he joins "Giovanotti Mondani Meccanici" a multimedia -oriented group and composes sound-tracks for theatre works, videos and video-installations.
Still in the 80s he gains a reputation as the creator of ambient music for special events and fashion exhibitions (Pitti Immagine, Prato Expo, Capucci, Missoni) .
He also composes sound-tracks for films and theatre works by Italian directors such as Alessandro Benvenuti, Antonio Climati, Marco Mattolini, Marco Risi.
In 1987 he turns his interest to World Music, meeting African, Kurdish and Indian musicians who live in Italy and making music with them.
"Data from Africa", the band he puts up with Niba Boniface (Camerun) , stages numerous concerts until 1990.
In 1993 he meets an Indian flute player, living in Italy: Boliwar Miranda. With him and Ettore Bonafé (tablas) he founds the band "Music for Meditation" later renamed "Masala" and published by Materiali Sonori.
In 1994 he starts a collaboration with the Indian-Italian band "Govinda" leading to the production of two tracks "Devotion" and "Transcendental Ecstasy" for Govinda's first album "Selling India by the pound".
In Summer 1995 he conceives and organises the I Ambient Music Festival in Florence at Anfiteatro delle Cascine.
In 1996 with Nazar Abdulla and Rashmi Bhatt he creates "The Third Planet" , a multi-ethnic band that blends traditional music from Kurdistan, Algeria and India with modern sounds.
From 1997 to 2001 Maurizio Dami develops several projects of innovative World Music. 
With "The Third Planet" he produces 2 albums "Kurdistani" and "The Third Planet" published by CNI (Italy) and licenced by Blue Flame (Germany). The band gives numerous concerts in Italy whilst one of its tracks features in "Nirvana Lounge" a compilation by George V Records.
In 1997 his collaboration with Lapo Lombardi and Ranieri Cerelli leads to the "Alkemya" project, releasing an album with CNI.
In June 1998 he arranges "Ciumara", a track by the Italian band "Agricantus", with Lapo Lombardi.
With the band "Masala" he produces 2 albums published by Materiali Sonori, the Italian label the artist has been long associated with. 
The year 2001 marks a moment of analysis and rethinking for Maurizio Dami. His productions, although strongly appreciated by a large number of fans, haven't brought the expected economic results probably because of the limited promotion and distribution efforts made by the labels that published them.He therefore sets off to create his own label which comes out in April 2002 under the name "Hot Elephant Music".
"Hot Elephant Music" (whose exclusive distributor for Italy is Audioglobe) makes its debut with two albums…go
With Lapo Lombardi (Ludus Pinsky) he designs and creates an on-line shop where H.E.M. products are on sale at a very interesting price. 
At present Maurizio Dami is working on the third album by "The Third Planet".
He is also "digging out", with the intention of further developing, A.Robotnick's original blend of Electro and Fuzz Dance of the 80s.
