Félix-Antoine Leroux, better known as DJ Horg, is a DJ, music producer, rapper, and actor from Quebec, Canada. He is recognized as a foundational figure in Quebec's hip-hop scene. As a child and teenager, Leroux was mainly known for his roles in Paul, Marie et les Enfants (1985–1987), La Grenouille et la Baleine (1987), and Watatatow (1991–1992). In the mid-1990s, Leroux stepped away from acting to become a DJ and hip-hop producer. Using the pseudonym DJ Horg, he released the album Karnageez N' Kombinn Lakaill (1997) with KZ Kombination, which is considered as a regional classic and Quebec's first rap album in Haitian Creole.

Leroux went on to contribute prolifically to the work of numerous Quebec hip-hop artists. However, it was his long collaboration with Samian that earned him the most praise. Leroux produced Samian's first three albums: Face à soi-même (2007), Face à la musique (2011), and Enfants de la terre (2014). At the ADISQ Gala (a Gala to recognise musical achievements in Quebec), the first and third albums were nominated for Best Hip-Hop Album, while the second won.

Other notable works that received ADISQ nominations include Un gars de même (2005) by Sir Pathétik, Et7era (2010) by Anodajay, Radiothérapie (2014) by Dramatik, and Grosso modo (2018) with his duo Seba and Horg.
