This night has passed. Sunday, October 25, 2026, 2:30PM to 7PM. The Airliner. Los Angeles, CA.
Free.
Join us for a rare Discostan appearance in the daylight at the Airliner! We'll be joined by Minz, Sidu and some very special guests to be announced. Discostan is an imaginary, borderless nation for the SWANA and South Asian diaspora - a party, label and radio residency built around the conviction that sound permeates barriers that nothing else can. Over fifteen years, it’s helped shape cultural infrastructure for communities on the margins near and far, holding golden-age archives and forward-facing producers in the same space, the nightclub reworked as a site for rewriting inherited histories. Migration, conflict, homeland, celebration: the threads run through traditional forms and their kaleidoscopic reinvention alike, often within Islamicate influence. The sound of Discostan is ever-evolving and brings together the worlds of the cinema and the street. Join us for a deep dive into a sonic history of our favorites from Subcontinental disco and Chaabi floorfillers to Safavid bass and late-night Dabke, connected by searing club productions from our favorite diasporic producers. Expect a polyrhythmic journey of 60-160bpm all in the space of one night, on one dance floor, to a land with no flags, no passports, and no borders.
