European Techno Legend Andy Vaz Live in Chicago
CHICAGO IL— Andy Vaz, the Dj/Producer, largely credited with
spearheading the so-called minimal movement in European dance
music, performs at Debonair Social Club in Chicago, June 26 for a
very special date on a four city mini-tour of the USA.
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.”
Vaz will be joined by NYC based composer and legendary music
technology blogger Peter Kirn, of
createdigitalmusic.com fame, as well as Ramp Chicago resident
DJ Liz Revision.
