Vfsix

VFSix performs their own songs of lounge, trip-hop, smooth-jazz, acid-jazz, nu-jazz and chillout styles. They were the first who took up these genres in the big country. And they have done so in style, remaining true to their own exotic roots whilst reflecting the ever changing and developing Moscow urban life. Their own style was named light trip-hop. Sound of the band is laconic, yet very rich. The quality of sound and the unique style - that what draws attention to the band.

In 2009 year VFSix had a tenth birthday and made a present for fans. The Best Of Ten Years - a compilation of VFSix's best songs, which were created during these first ten years. These songs were composed when a word "trip-hop" was not so popular in Russia as now. These songs were made by band, which today is the best one in this style in Russia. These collected songs tell a story of life inseparable from music, melancholic and beautiful. The album sums up a black-and-white phase of VFSix's art, shuts a season of rains, depressive mood and melancholy.
