Vasakon by Vasakon

Vasakon represents a surprising soundscape, especially considering its members’ musical backgrounds. Németh (aka Virgács) was part of the Ugar Records circle (Yonderboi, DJ Palotai, Miraq i Miro) in the early 2000s, touring Europe with them, and has since produced numerous albums for Rutkai Bori.

As a drummer, Halmos has honed his improvisational skills in Jü, Tariqa, The Mabon Dawud Republic, Gadó Gábor's bands, and various other formations, delving deep into Afrobeat and Gnawa traditions.
Together, they create a musical atmosphere that, despite its purely improvisational nature, results in an experimental creation in another way: a pure, minimalist IDM beauty from scratch.

Each concert is unique, as they perform with different guest musicians without prior preparation. They prefer to remain in the background, providing their guests with an inspiring foundation and space.
The ensemble’s name refers to the electronic instruments they play on: Vasakon, in Hungarian slang, literally means "on gear," referring to their hardware-driven setup.

Each performance is a new narrative, a unique, personalized occasion, and their list of future guests is long, exciting, and diverse.

The pronunciation of the Hungarian word 'Vasakon' can be approximated as 'Vah-shah-
kawn' in English.
