Minimal Wave Radio

Match your heartbeat to the pulse of an analog synthesizer. Think minimal, from new wave and darkwave, to synth sounds and electro.

Z Factor

The first release on NYC based label, Cititrax, is a re-issue of Z-Factor's "Dance Party Album" (originally released in 1984, 500 copies). Fronted by Jesse Saunders and Vince Lawrence, Z-Factor formed in Chicago in 1982, at the very beginning of the house era. Comes with a retro style band postcard + pressed on heavy vinyl. ESSENTIAL!
