VHS (Very Hard Songs) is an Antwerp-based rap crew featuring Kleine Crack, Slagter, Parsa, Roi, Kleine Kova, and 100GEN. Dark beats, slow-burning grooves, and raw Dutch-language raps, this time in a DJ set.

Together with her producer-partner-in-crime Azertyklavierwerke, she hosts the ‘Dirty Circle,’ a hybrid experience that’s part concert, part afterparty, and part cult.
