New York native Veronica Vasicka has unearthed countless analog synth wave gems and single-handedly revived a forgotten musical subgenre with Minimal Wave Records, the label she founded in 2005. With Minimal Wave subsidiary Cititrax, a new generation of like-minded composers has found a home for their DIY releases. Vasicka’s influential sound was partly cultivated via East Village Radio as the station’s first program director. Her reputation was cemented with the release of the compilations The Minimal Wave Tapes Volume One and Two on Stones Throw in 2010. Ever since she’s spread the word of this incredible sound to audiences worldwide via releases on her vaunted labels and through her DJ sets. She currently hosts a monthly show on NTS and DJs internationally.
