Twirl co-founder Alinka returns with her first release on home turf in over a year with ‘Touch The Flame’, set for release on November 21. A love letter to the dancefloors that shaped her, ‘Touch The Flame’ is a full-throttle house cut drenched in the spirit of Chicago and classic house. Swirling synths soar over thumping drums, while fierce vocal energy and rave-ready stabs fuel an irrepressible, feel-good vibe.
“‘Touch The Flame’ is an ode to the dancefloors I grew up on in Chicago and the classic house sound that’s my first love.” – Alinka.
In her 25 years of spinning records, Kyiv-born Ukrainian-American DJ and producer Alinka has become a darling of the house music scene. Her productions have found a home on Gudu Records, Rekids, and Permanent Vacation, while her DJ sets have lit up iconic clubs from Berghain to Robert Johnson. Now serving as the first international resident at leading cultural institution K41 in Kyiv, and with a debut on the legendary !K7 slated for early 2026, Alinka closes out one of her biggest years to date with a powerful homecoming on Twirl – and a reminder of what makes her one of underground house music’s most trusted voices.
Alinka ‘Touch The Flame’ drops via Twirl on 21st November 2025.
