"With assistance from DJ and producer faneva, their songs are intercut with vocal samples from movies and popular speeches... DJ faneva played them and us off with a mashup of Earth, Wind & Fire's ‘September’ and the Super Mario Bros. theme, a fitting end to a pleasant final-day set."
FVN3VV is a DJ and producer of Malagasy and Québécois-Canadian descent, based in Tiohtia:ke, with 15 years of experience spanning angelcore, drift phonk, hard bounce, synthwave, witch house, drum & bass, lofi, and beyond. A graduate of Recording Arts Canada with highest honours, they have built their live presence from club residencies to the Quebec festival circuit — touring with Strange Froots at both FME Rouyn-Noranda and Le Festif de Baie-Saint-Paul, where they also performed a solo set, and closing out 2025 with a NYE set at Chic-Chac, Murdochville. They are the resident DJ for Sweet Like Honey’s strip club nights, one of Tiohtia:ke’s most celebrated queer events. Current work includes remixes for Maze, Klô Pelgag, and Mkash.
FVN3VV — pronounced like the name Faneva, vowels encoded in numbers — is a DJ and producer of Malagasy and Québécois-Canadian descent. They built their sound across more than a decade of deliberate craft, starting with DJ sets on high school radio and student dances before establishing themselves in Tiohtia:ke in 2015.
They graduated from Recording Arts Canada with the highest grade in their class (2015–2016), then immediately embedded themselves in the city’s live circuit. In 2016–2017, they worked in audio production for a nonprofit audiobook publisher, sharpening their sense of sound as a medium beyond the dancefloor. Residencies at L’Aigle Noir, Typhoon Lounge, and Le Mal Nécessaire (2018–2019) accumulated the floor hours. The Loop Sessions built the network — a recurring gathering where they forged lasting connections with key figures across the local scene.
In 2019, FVN3VV released their debut beat tape Jazz Wizardry — also pressed as one side of a limited cassette through the Jeunes Volontaires program, with only 30 copies ever produced. The other side featured DJ Sakurai Mixtape Vol. 1 (2021), a mashup project bridging Super Smash Bros. music and rap culture that reveals as much about their sense of humour as their technical ear. UFO EP (2022) pushed into electro hip-hop. That same year, they became a contributor to still.fm — the Tiohtia:ke-based experimental web radio — hosting their show WWWT (World Wide Web Transmission) and appearing on curated compilations and in-person events on the station’s circuit.
Their festival trajectory accelerated sharply: support for Strange Froots at FME Rouyn-Noranda (2024) — documented in Exclaim! — then a return alongside Strange Froots at Le Festif de Baie-Saint-Paul (2025) where they also performed a standalone solo set, and a closing NYE set at Chic-Chac, Murdochville, marking a clear expansion across the Quebec circuit.
Since 2024, they have been the resident DJ for Sweet Like Honey’s strip club nights — the beloved queer event by and for lesbians in Tiohtia:ke — bringing the same precision and range to dancefloor programming that defines their studio work.
Sonically, FVN3VV’s output — both productions and DJ sets — carries an unmistakable video game sensibility: OST tracks woven into tracklists, one-shot samples lifted from game soundscapes, a textural language shaped by years of playing and dismantling interactive worlds. The artists who have shaped them most are Justice, Black Eyed Peas, Crystal Castles, Yelle, and Daft Punk — a lineage that runs through electro, French touch, maximalism, and the intersection of pop and noise.
Current work in progress includes remixes for Maze, Klô Pelgag, and Mkash — all pointing toward the angelcore, drift phonk, and hard bounce direction that defines FVN3VV’s next chapter.
