“Don’t be fooled by the glossy looks though, as behind the beauty of Disco Naïveté is a taste in music so deadly it regularly knocks the rest of us for six.” - The Recommender
Disco Naïveté is a Belgian-based music blog that focuses on independent music, ranging from upcoming artists to established acts. It was originally founded in October 2009 on a Blogspot, but this was deleted late March 2010. On April 1 2010, the blog was re-launched on the Tumblr platform. On May 1 2011, a re-vamped version of Disco Naïveté was unveiled after a promotional stunt with custom-made postcards being sent out to a series of other bloggers, journalists, magazines and people working in the music industry worldwide.
Disco Naïveté is one of NY Times’ “Tumblr favorites” for music, Amazing Radio calls it “a trusted source for new music” and Complex Magazine lists it as one of the “100 Best Tumblrs of All Time” Studio Brussel names Disco Naïveté as one of the best Belgium-based music blogs; host Kirsten Lemaire considers the blog “a tastemaker” among the likes of Pitchfork, Gorilla vs Bear and NME Magazine. Disco Naïveté has been credited countlessly on leading (music-)websites such as Pitchfork, The Guardian, Gorilla vs Bear, Huffington Post, etc. for various first-on-reports and other musical finds.
In February 2011, Disco Naïveté teamed up with We Promised and Dilly Blog to organise Dance Dance Dance, a blog party at the Sioux in Ghent, Belgium. We can also be found regularly behind the decks at shows or parties organised by Subbacultcha! Belgium. In November 2011, Disco Naïveté formed a panel with Sofie from SSSSOUND! at the Demofeedback for Muzikantendag. The blog’s editor also writes a bi-monthly feature “New Kids on The Block” for the Belgian magazine The Word.

“Disco Naïveté looks like it was designed in a European sweet shop in 1950 and has a delightful, easy feel to it. And the music they uncover is of the same variety. No, not ‘europop’ but bliss, simple, effervescent indie tunes, remixes and the like.” - Sounds Good To Me Too
