    “Veronica Vasicka is a NYC native: a photographer, musician, DJ and founder of the epic record label and on-line music resource Minimal Wave.”

    their own biography

    the whole biography
    Veronica Vasicka is a NYC native: 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, Industrial and Synth-pop genres. Not knowing what to classify these bands as, she coined the genre Minimal Wave and set up the website www.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 ranges stripped down, D.I.Y. synth-pop to pioneering industrial electronics. In addition to running Minimal Wave, Veronica launched the Cititrax in 2008 (www.minimalwave.com/releases/cititrax) label as way to expose newer synth-based acts. She DJs monthly in her hometown, New York City, and around the world, as well as having hosted a weekly radio show from 6-8pm ET on East Village Radio for 10 years. She now hosts a monthly show on Red Bull Radio called This Side of Nowhere. She has curated and released over 100 albums now, amongst them were two highly lauded compilations: The Minimal Wave Tapes: Volumes 1 and 2 which were picked up, released and distributed by Stones Throw Records. Veronica's DJ sets range from raw, danceable industrial electronic to cold wave fused with mutant house and underground techno. She likes to tell a story when spinning and to teach the crowd about the roots of electronic music. She has a fantastic talent for synthesizing her influences into an unforgettable night of dancing.

  • Brian Wenner

    New York City · 10 bookings since Dec 2023

    “Brian Wenner is a Brooklyn-based experimental electronic musician and sound artist.”

    their own biography

    the whole biography
    Brian Wenner is a Brooklyn-based experimental electronic musician and sound artist. His artistic practice involves sound collage and improvisation to create dense works that feel frenetic yet structured. Bandcamp has described his sound as “sizzling experimental electronic music, alternatively dissonant and tuneful.” Working primarily with sampled audio content, Wenner’s creative process is heavily inspired by Musique Concrète combined with modern digital processes. He often gathers sound material from a variety of sources including Internet and phone-ripped audio, natural field recordings, and his own personal sample library. Sounds are then manipulated and layered via hardware samplers and further edited and re-imagined in software. The inspiration for such a process comes from his fascination in recontextualizing found audio to create something meaningful and coherent. Wenner has composed for dance, theater, multichannel installation, and digital album release. He most recently released an album entitled QUADRANT in March of 2025 which documents a quadraphonic sound performance recorded live in Austin, TX. The album came out on the London-based experimental record label Old Technology. Wenner also co-curates and organizes the monthly experimental music series Artifact. He has performed across North America and has presented work with institutions such as Art Basel Miami, CURRENTS Art & Technology Festival, Satellite Art Fair, and dadaLab. His work has been reviewed and featured by outlets including The New York Times, Time Out New York, The Creators Project, The FADER, VICE, FACT and Self-titled Magazine. “a glitchy musique électrique that feels like walking through numerous corridors, command centres and cockpits of a lost-in-space galaxy explorer.” - Mutant Zones “ [Musical] Layers are added, taken away, elongated, and repeated, to create aspects of unpredictability, of suspense, though it’s all texturally pleasing as all hell.” - Ears to Feed “When it comes to experimentation, the Brooklyn-based producer knows no limitations” - DMY

    New York City · 174 bookings since Aug 2023

    “Electric is the only way to describe Andi’s sets.”

    their own biography

    the whole biography
    Electric is the only way to describe Andi’s sets. The NYC-based DJ, producer, and SYNTHICIDE label/party boss constructs a dynamic and intoxicating flow that’s always palpable between the walls of the foggy, neon-lit dancefloor. Parts sleaze and sultry, Andi’s aesthetic is body music based, thriving on the delivery of the groove and the bombastic highs of a track’s apex. As a devotee of distinct sounds such as EBM, new beat, Italo, freestyle and housey 90s elements, her sets reflect her deep vinyl collection: diverse, yet focused, and completely one-of-a-kind. Her own productions aim to challenge the expectations within the confines of traditionally masculine dance genres. With bassline-heavy grooves and a conceptual emphasis on storytelling with samples taken from long-forgotten erotic thrillers and seedy sci-fi films, Andi adds a wry yet delicate touch to machine music. As the boss of SYNTHICIDE—the internationally known party, label and event series—Andi has cultivated the dark underground scene for over a decade in Brooklyn. SYNTHICIDE started at the notorious club in Bushwick, Bossa Nova Civic Club, where the party still holds a monthly residency. Additionally, Andi is a resident at The Lot Radio and NYC’s Gabriela.
