Alinka

Alinka is a DJ renowned for her unique power on the decks, stemming from a lifelong passion for house music. Raised in Chicago with influences from Detroit techno and European bass music, she was born in Kiev, Ukraine, where exposure to Western music was limited due to censorship. Immigrating to Chicago as Jewish refugees in the late '80s, Alinka discovered pop music and later house music. Her career took off after being recruited by Justin Long for his .dotbleep party at Smartbar, where she honed her skills for over a decade. Collaborations with Shaun J. Wright led to the launch of Twirl parties and label, resulting in an impressive catalog of material on various labels. In recent years, Alinka has found success as a producer with releases on Rekids, Crosstown Rebels, and her own imprint Fantasy Life. Her sound is primarily house music.

Alinka played in Wald at Garbicz festival 2024 and in Panne Eichel at Fusion festival 2024.
