Minimal Wave Minimal Wave
Founded by New York artist and radio DJ Veronica Vasicka in 2005, Minimal Wave is a label dedicated to unearthing rare and obscure recordings of futuristic European new wave from the 1980s. Over the past few years more than 20 albums of the era have been carefully remastered and reissued. Since 2008 Minimal Wave has a sub-label, Cititrax, which focuses on early US house and electro productions from that period.

Minimal Wave visits Japan with these rare tracks of Yosihumi Niinuma recorded between 1979-81. Fantastic cosmic synth disco to proto techno pieces from an artist who sadly lost his studio and recording archive in the 2011 tsunami. Must have!

Famous as one half of Oppenheimer Analysis Martin Lloyd has also recorded lesser known works as a solo artist. Always great NYC imprint Minimal Wave reissues four of his tracks recorded between 1980 and 1984: Nicely layered, 808-based electro pop, which will make any underground 80s fan's heart beat faster.
