Andy Vaz

Andy Vaz hails from Düsseldorf, birthplace of Kraftwerk. He rose to prominence through his globally renowned label Background Recordings (http://www.background-records.de), one of the finest minimal techno imprints, hosting artists like Stewart Walker, Akufen, and Pan/Tone. A versatile creator, Vaz produces both dance-oriented techno with a dark, ironic edge and elegant minimal work released on his sub-label Soundvariation (http://www.soundvariation.de), where he ingeniously re-arranges tracks in multiple versions. Whether performing his own compositions or DJing, Vaz captivates listeners—his music envelops and gradually transforms from minimalist abstraction into a deeply personal and compelling narrative for each listener.
