Songpot · Amsterdam Dance Event 2026

Expect house with Chicago dirt, Detroit pressure, and Berlin muscle: chunky drums, bright synth hooks, and the kind of propulsion that keeps a room moving without rushing it. Her releases show a lean toward colourful, floor-first tracks, with enough weirdness to keep it from going straight utility.

More about Alinka

Bandcamp and label copy place her as Kiev-born, Chicago-raised, now Berlin-based, with early residency at Justin Long’s Dotbleep party at Smartbar. She co-runs Twirl with Shaun J. Wright and has releases on Rekids, Crosstown Rebels, Permanent Vacation, Needwant, HE.SHE.THEY, and Correspondant, which puts her squarely in the Chicago-to-Berlin house continuum.
