Stones Throw Podcast 53 - Minimal Wave

noreply@blogger.com (Andy) — Thu, 17 Dec 2009 03:17:52 PST

Stones Throw Records seem to be able to do no wrong at the moment. Their latest podcast is a collection of Minimal Wave tracks put together by Veronica Vasicka, the founder of the Minimal Wave record label.

These tracks were all created with analog synths and drum machines from the 70s until now, and most were originally released on limited edition cassettes or vinyl by the artists themselves.

Stones Throw Podcast 53 - Minimal Wave

Stones Throw is dropping the anthology The Minimal Wave Tapes in January - a collection of underground DIY electronic music from North America and Europe in the late 1970s and 80s.
