DJ Haram is an electronic music producer, multi-disciplinary propagandist, and self described anti-format DJ, originally from New Jersey currently based in Brooklyn, NY.
Stylistically versatile, Haram is known for her eclectic production and djing – experimental bass and club music; analogue synths and percussion; abrasive, noise adjacent rap collaborations; weaving in Middle Eastern instrumentation and samples. She also makes up half of ‘700 Bliss,’ a hip hop/noise project with Moor Mother; the two released the critically acclaimed ‘Nothing to Declare’ in 2022. She previously held a 5 year residence at Rinse FM London with ‘Rage Radio’. She’s also released a number of collaborations and remixes, notably with Billy Woods, Armand Hammer ft. Pink Siifu, Ghias Guevara, Debby Friday, and Fever Ray. Haram started using her voice on her ’Nothing to Declare’ productions but her most recent EP, ‘Handplay,’ finds her in new intimate form, sharing herself as a “lover, daughter, and comrade.” Her 2025 album “Beside Myself” was released to acclaim. On it, her voice sits at the centre of the album, while she collaborates with friends – rappers, co-producers, solo instrumentalists – putting into word and sound what she calls “survival of the spirit.”
“DJ Haram has delivered a debut worthy of an artist intent on tearing through the clichés that cling to both sound and identity – confronting the systems that colonise, both outwardly and within. And she succeeds, sonically, in drawing lines not just against enemies, but also among allies – refusing easy solidarity, and forcing a reckoning with complicity, comfort, and performance.” – The Quietus
