Alina Valentina

Alina Valentina is a The Hague based music producer drawing heavily from retro soundtrack and video game music. With her love for analog synthesizers she creates immersive, neo-surrealist “Lynchian” sound explorations reminiscent of modern composers like John Carpenter as well as more pop contemporaries Antoni Maiovvi, Lebanon Hanover and Molly Nilsson.  

Though she entered the mortal realm on Valentine’s Day, Alina Valentina is not one to romanticize life on earth through rose-tinted glasses. She instead explores an alternate dark fairytale universe channeled through her misanthropic synthwave music. Using analog synthesizers, cynical poetics, and detached vocal delivery, she conveys camp sensibility from her lair in The Netherlands.

Blending the nostalgic wonders of retro video games, sci-fi noir, and new wave/post-punk music, Valentina’s creations possess an enchanting and cathartic quality. Her sound reverberates the spellbinding mystery of Kraków Loves Adana, the hard-bitten attitude of Molly Nilsson, and the passionated Minuit Machine.
