ANDY VAZ US MINI TOUR
Andy Vaz, the DJ/producer, largely credited with spearheading the so-called minimal movement in European dance music, performs LIVE in Akron, Chicago, New York and Detroit in June. Akron, OH, on Wednesday 25, Debonair Social Club in Chicago 26th, at the Bunker in New York on 27th and Detroit at LJ’s Lounge on June 28.
A long time presence in the European techno community, Vaz, introduced the world to the complexities offered by the minimal techno genre in its various regional forms, exposing the world to some of the premiere releases by artists such as Akufen, Geoff White, Deadbeat, Stewart Walker, Sutekh and Oliver Hacke through his highly innovative Background Records label. The Dusseldorf native and now Cologne resident has also made an impact on the global house music scene with his highly influential A Touch of Class imprint, on which Vaz’s keen ear for deep house met his minimal production sensibilities.
Currently Vaz’s work has focused on a new label project, Yore records, which brings Detroit and Chicago house producers such as Terrence Dixon and Rick Wade along with Vaz giving these artists a means to further explore their sounds, transcending their usual classifications as “old school.”
