April 2025 Liminal Radio with Guest DJ Steve Noah

Steve Noah & flower food open for Pangaea 06.06.25

Last week, I got to make my debut in the vast Chicago underground while surrounded by loved ones old & new. Today, I am sharing my recorded & mastered DJ set for your listening pleasure!

Some of the brightest minds in our community came together to showcase our passion for off-kilter dance music. Much love to Flow State, Green Machine, & Night Logistics for recruiting me to play direct support & set the tone for what led to an unforgettable journey through sound into the waking hours.

I wanted to curate something special for this set - exploring niches, lots of twists & turns, a dash of symbolism, & proudly fusing together my Persian & Latin heritage along the way. The result felt a bit rough around the edges, yet faithful to the direction I am headed sonically. With the weight of everything happening around us, this night felt equal parts challenging as it did healing. Nevertheless, I cannot stress how grateful I am for the privilege of sharing obscure art to those who seek it. 

This set is dedicated to my beautiful family in Iran - my true second home. You are more than just my blood.
