Klymax Discotheque at Desa Potato Head

ALINKA
Alinka, a Chicago-born DJ and producer, has become a key figure in the global underground house scene. Raised on Chicago’s rich house music culture, with influences from Detroit techno and European bass music, her passion for music began early after moving to the U.S. from Ukraine. Alinka honed her skills as a resident at Smartbar before launching the Twirl label and parties with frequent collaborator Shaun J. Wright. Their releases, along with collaborations on labels like Classic Music Company and Crosstown Rebels, have established her as a force in house music. Now based in Berlin, Alinka regularly plays at iconic venues like Berghain and continues to evolve, with her recent productions landing on labels like Rekids and Permanent Vacation. Her sound remains innovative, deeply rooted in house music, and ever forward-thinking.

ARCHIE
Archie has been diving head-first into kaleidoscopic sounds throughout his winding and ongoing musical journey. Since his early musical introduction via the punk and experimental scenes, he’s been warmly embracing any and all musical forms that he can find a way to fit into his mental library. Archie is a key player among numerous revered musical projects, including the SCRUBS! collective in his hometown of Jakarta, and Bali-based experimental trio, Fraktal.
