Veronica Vasic­ka

Veronica Vasic­ka is a photog­raph­er, musician, DJ and found­er of the epic re­cord label and on-line music re­sour­ce Minim­al Wave. As one of the found­ing mem­b­ers of East Vil­lage Radio, she man­aged the sta­tion dur­ing its pirate days and began col­lect­ing ob­scure and long for­gott­en gems that fell some­where bet­ween the Cold Wave, Post Punk and Minim­al Synth gen­res. Not know­ing what to class­ify these bands as, she co­ined the genre Minim­al Wave and set up the web­site minimal­wave.­com as an on­line re­sour­ce to share her finds with the rest of the world.

The re­spon­se to the web­site was huge and short­ly after its launch, Veronica began track­ing these art­ists down and re-issuing their work on the Minim­al Wave label. Most of these bands re­cor­ded ex­treme­ly li­mited co­p­ies of their work in their base­ments and shared their work with the world via John Peel’s radio show and a han­d­ful of un­derground music mail­ings. The music re­leased on the label is a strip­ped down, DIY and purer approach to mainstream synth pop. Never-the-less, fans of New Wave acts, and bands like Kraftwerk, New Order, and Joy Di­vis­ion who are seek­ing some­th­ing a bit dif­ferent or look­ing to ex­pand upon the familiar genre, will not be dis­ap­poin­ted.

In ad­di­tion to runn­ing Minim­al Wave, Veronica launched the Citit­rax label as way to ex­pose newer synth-based act as well as ob­scure House and Italo clas­sics. She DJs month­ly in New York City and around the world, and every Sun­day night on her East Vil­lage Radio show, Minim­al Wave.
Most re­cent­ly, she re­leased the high­ly lauded Minim­al Wave Tapes: Volume 2 com­pila­tion along with Stones Throw label found­er Peanut Butt­er Wolf.
