Party: Regis, Veronica Vasicka and Alex From Queens at Good Room

Good Room presents...

Regis (Downwards Records)
Veronica Vasicka (Minimal Wave)
Alex from Queens (Capriccio/Fleurs du Mal)

REGIS
Karl O'Connor is most certainly Regis and it is also highly probable that he propagates other pseudonyms . This has only added to the greater mythology surrounding the influential Downwards label that he has run with fellow art terrorist Peter Sutton ( Female ) since 1993. Unconventional and single-minded to say the least ( what label can boast a back catalogue free of the industry standard cash cow remix ) by decentralising the focus on the dj/producer personality, he remains one of the more highly regarded creative forces within the British techno/electronic scene. Degenerate art indeed.

VERONICA VASICKA
Veronica Vasicka is synonymous with Minimal Wave, the label she started in 2005 to release overlooked DIY synth records from the '70s and '80s. Its musical remit soon became a kind of genre in its own right. Combining her digging skills with a sharp eye for photography and design, she's singlehandedly turned Minimal Wave into one of the most visually and sonically appealing labels out there, with her tireless archival work shining a light onto a generation of obscure bands and producers. Vasicka runs another label, Cititrax, which she uses to release music that doesn’t fall into the Minimal Wave sphere.

ALEX FROM QUEENS
Alex first heard dance music blasting from an IROC Z blazing by his baby crib in Queens County, NYC. Often bored at other parties, he started Capriccio for those who want heat, something beyond the dance, mystical, raw, romantic, futuristic, with guests like Juan Atkins, Egyptian Lover, Traxx, Reade Truth, DUST, Hieroglyphic Being, Patrick Russell, and Carlos Souffront. His new label Fleurs du Mal will be releasing productions from Crimen Excepta, Upsetting Keys, and others. He has taste for days, the skills to match, and is sure to pull out more than a few rarities this evening.
