Will Dušan Vlk sell out Palác Akropolis again? One of the hottest Slovak rappers returns to Prague. Expect a night oscillating between extravagance, digital melancholy, and club-driven rave impulses – courtesy of the hyperpop duo ph1l & sugoi kimono.

Dušan Vlk

Is it the year of the dragon – and the mulleted wolf? Last year, Dušan Vlk sold out Palác Akropolis. This year, he's back with a brand-new album that plays like a personal sonic diary, with each track reflecting a different month of the year. A standout voice in Slovak rap, Vlk fully sheds the remnants of corporate life, awakens from personal lethargy, and creates rap that speaks even to those who’ve never considered themselves fans of the genre. A sensitive baller, he’s hitting the mark with every new track and show. Come witness what rap for alternative kids sounds like in 2025.

ph1l & sugoi kimono

The duo ph1l and sugoi kimono are among the current representatives of Slovak hyperpop. Their joint performance is packed with glitchy beats, futuristic synthetic sounds, and emotional vocals. Musically, they blur genre boundaries and push their limits. Each show is crafted as a thoughtful audiovisual experience.

ph1l leans into cold autotune, industrial distortion, and shifting flows with touches of nostalgia and mysticism, while sugoi kimono brings in heavier bass and personal lyrics that balance between rawness and romance. Distinct styling, playfulness, and strong audience engagement form the core of their performances, injecting fresh energy into the scene.

The PULZ series at Palác Akropolis is curated by music journalist and radio host Vojtěch Tkáč. The evening is presented in collaboration with Akropolis Underground.
