Revel In New York: Veronica Vasicka, DJ & Founder Of Minimal Wave

Produced by Scott Newman and Marc Santo

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 began re-issuing the works. The music is a stripped down, DIY and a 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 DJs often around New York City and every Sunday night on her East Village Radio show, Minimal Electronik Plus.
