Nora always delivers. A solid undercard of DJs had the intimate crowd assembled on The Riot Room patio buzzing in anticipation of her arrival on a drizzly and cool November night in Kansas City. Immediately preceding, Longer Days delivered a solid buildup, prepping for the arrival of our headliner. At the stroke of midnight, Nora arrived through the stage adjacent, patio entrance stairs without much fanfare. Upon taking her place at the decks, she immediately engaged the crowd. Nora delivered her patented silky smooth mixes over the next two hours, integrating fresh deep house beats with her own acclaimed work.

As an avid listener of Nora’s Purified Radio podcast, I am consistently impressed with her passion for innovation. In her mixes and remixes of her own tunes and other house favorites she seems to never be satisfied with the status quo. Her Riot Room performance was equally pleasing. Like a master weaver creating a complex tapestry, Nora creatively built the warp and weft of the beats into a continuous aural massage that left the audience craving a few hours more.

As Nora finished her set that included her requesite hits Lake Arrowhead, Come with Me, Fever, and True, she was extremely gracious and patient, spending better than ten minutes taking pictures and chatting with appreciative fans. I am personally thankful for getting to meet and capture a photo and a few brief words with one of my favorite artists.
