Vasicka also curates Minimal Wave, a weekly Internet radio show broadcast on East Village Radio, for which she was the original director of programming.[2] The weekly show was founded as Minimal-Electronik Plus, and was later renamed.[3] Through vanity Web searches, artists discovered that selections from their cassette-only releases had been played on the show. Vasicka invited them to send her more music, and this led to the creation of the Minimal Wave label, as well as the sublabel Cititrax for newer material and house music.[3]
