Afalinas in Session: Jex Opolis

Afalinas presents a night of burned CD-Rs, analog heat and emotional voltage with Jex Opolis — a synth romantic who once called Toronto home, ventured through New York’s vibrant pulse, and now crafts his melodies from the wide skies of Edmonton. A storyteller in sound and meme lord on the Instagram, Jex returns to the city where his party roots were planted to blend balearic melodies and DIY disco edits with tongue-in-cheek takes on DJ life — and somehow still keeps the dancefloor locked in. Afalinas Records founder Olekhar warms things up. Kyiv-raised, Toronto-based, and vinyl-obsessed, he sets the mood with grooves you can’t Shazam — plus some unreleased cuts fresh off the lathe. With Canada caught in a trade war, there’s never been a better time to invest in local exports. Come support the homegrown heroes. It’s melodic, it’s unpredictable — and yes, it’s tariff-free.
