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.

Prbit Records launches from Ljubljana with Prbit 4 Bizzy - a tribute to one of the true pioneers of our scene, Damjan Bizilj aka Bizzy.
His sound shaped the early days of Slovenian techno and electro, and his spirit still runs through the machines.

This first release brings together artists who knew, felt, and respected his energy - each track a personal signal, sent into the night.
Rough edges, heavy beats, human instinct over perfect control - just the way Bizzy lived it.

For Bizzy. For the ones who keep moving forward.
