Faux Naïf

adjective
1. appearing or seeking to appear simple and unsophisticated a faux-naïf narration

noun
2. a person who pretends to be naïve

Languishing in the depths of the seductive underworld of EBM, faux naïf champions the more obscure tones of dance music. Rooted in goth, darkwave, body music post-punk and industrial, the sound of faux naïf stems from the anarchistic attitude aligned with these 80s-born genres. Representing the spectrum of these subcultures in her DJ sets and her annual event M II M (mouthiimouth) parties, she builds a sultry feel on the dancefloor while keeping a watchful eye on her audience, creating a delicate balance between tension and wild abandon.

This year faux naif birthed a new Manchester event ‘’Elegia’’ which is in collaboration with Boomkat / Death Of Rave boss Conor Thomas, bringing goth, body music and new beat sounds to the Northern Quarter basements of Manchester.

Today, faux naïf remains fiercely loyal to her punk-by-way-of-goth spirit, co-existing in the largely trend-driven landscape of dance music.

New Brvtalism No. 123 - Faux Naïf

Kimi Otsuka has a particular view on club music. Under her Faux Naïf alias she digs for records outside of the electronic spectrum, often championing the lesser known sounds of tropical goth, post punk and EBM. Her broad tastes in these genres mostly stems from the 80s, taking as much influence from British groups like The Cure and Cocteau Twins as she does any electronic producer.

Though still fairly niche within London, Otsuka supports these sounds on her 199radio show and through her own parties, with her most recent event headlined by body music artists SARIN and Parris Smith. On 24th March she makes her debut at the club alongside Sunil Sharpe and Ugandan Methods in Room Two, so she delivered a hard-hitting EBM mix to give an idea of what to expect on the night.
