FV Music is Slovenia's oldest independent label and promoter of alternative music. It was established in 1985 by musicians from the group [[Borghesia]] and a circle of music fans and activists that had previously run Disco FV, the first punk-alternative club in Ljubljana. For several years the only Yugoslav independent label, FV was born out of necessity to satisfy the creative impulses of its founding members. | FV Music is Slovenia's oldest independent label and promoter of alternative music.

It was the first to expose [[Laibach]]'s music to listeners. As a booking agent FV took two domestic garage rock'n'roll bands from its roster, Dicky B Hardy and Hic et Nunc, on an American coast-to-coast tour in 1998, which was the first occasion on which Slovene rock musicians had toured the States without the support of a multinational music label. As a promoter FV has brought challenging sounds from groups as Dead Moon and Jon Spencer's Heavy Trash to audiences in Slovenia as well as in the other countries of former Yugoslavia. In 1999 FV was awarded the Maršev Gojzar Prize for its contribution to popular culture. FV organises the one-night FV Festival every year with foreign and domestic bands. |
