With a knack for bending genres, Alina cruises through tracks from all corners, from funk to dub, afro-latin, acid, electro, breaks, and bass, all grounded by house-adjacent cuts, and often spun on vinyl. Alongside residencies at some of Montreal’s local spots such as Sans Soleil, Datcha, and Systeme, and appearances at Piknic Électronik, SAT, Igloofest, and the Festival international de jazz de Montréal, Ferias also host DIY events in off-kilter spaces, welcoming international heads like Theo Parrish, Maurice Fulton, Ash Lauryn, Love Injection, Hidden Spheres, Bella Boo, Toribio, Musclecars, and Nabihah Iqbal of late.
