Minimal Wave
Minimal Wave was founded in New York City by Veronica Vasicka in 2005, with a mission to bring previously unavailable music back into circulation. Its work has centred on cassette-era recordings from the 1980s, particularly minimal synth and new wave, rescuing private releases and overlooked material from a period when much of this music existed outside conventional commercial channels.
The label's catalogue connects austere electronic pop, analogue synth arrangements and cold-wave-inflected new wave from artists including Martin Dupont, In Trance 95, Deux, Crior Daquin and Vicious Pink. Rather than treating obscurity as an end in itself, Minimal Wave has presented these recordings as complete works, giving long-unavailable music a renewed life for listeners drawn to the spare, melodic and machine-driven sounds of the era.
