violet x bleid: badness

Violet and BLEID met last year in Lisbon, at the Radio Quântica studios. In the very same day, they impromptu started working together on a track: a cover of Underground Sound Of Lisbon's 'So Get Up' to celebrate International Women's Day. Together, alongside a crew of young Lisbon DJs and activists, they also run the queer techno party Mina, one of the most vital things going on in the city's nightlife - the picture in the artwork was taken in the backstage of one of those infamous, dark-room-equipped parties. NAIVE002 feels like a continuation of naive's first release in some ways: the jungle-inspired chopped breaks, sonic synth work and oneiric pads are still there but gain a heavier, perhaps more somber tone at times, exploding into depth or ecstasy at others.
