Naïve indulges in some Italo Vice this month with Retro/Grade guesting at Stereo on the 30th of April. Expect a combination of sharp modern production and deep Italo influences as Serge Santiago and Tom Neville create a synth laden retro-futuristic sound. Their headline two hour DJ set will be supported by Soundcloud favourites Slow it Down, Naïve resident PEACE and the visual art of Joe Crogan. 

After the French Touch of Fred Falke and DJ Falcon we’ve been left with an insatiable desire for filtered Disco Sweat. To meet those desires and provide another sensual experience we’ve invited Kavinsky and Alan Braxe to this month’s party.

Normally nomadic, for the first time Naïve returns to the same space. For the second month running we’ll stack up the Funktion One subs and invite Visual Aids and Joe Crogan back to provide aural stimulation in the Art School’s Assembly Hall. Menergy’s gay dance party takes up residence downstairs in the Vic Bar; if we can’t stimulate you I’m sure they can.

The I AM boys are normally all about their dirty, filthy electro and dubstep. We’re gonna clean them up and show them some new positions.

Fool’s Gold artist and touring partner of A-Trak, Treasure Fingers will be adding a sensual tone to proceedings. Expect him to soak the walls of the Sub Club in disco sweat as he gets in bed with Naïve and I AM.

This party offers a glimpse into the influences on Naïve’s music policy, with two artists who epitomise the Franco Funk traditions that laid the foundations for much of the Gallic Electro of recent years. Continuing to encourage a sensual atmosphere with their French Touch, get a feel for yourself on the 26th of February at the Art School.

If you don’t know, now you know.
