[[FV Music]] is Slovenia's oldest independent label and promoter of alternative music. It was established in [[Established::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.
