Dj Haram

DJ Haram at Phono on 25/04/2026. Doors 19h, concert 20h.

Stylistically versatile, DJ 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.

DJ Haram is an electronic music producer, multidisciplinary propagandist, and self-described anti-format DJ, originally from New Jersey, currently based in Brooklyn, NY. She is half of 700 Bliss, a hip-hop/noise project with Moor Mother; the two released Nothing to Declare in 2022. DJ Haram runs Monday Night Raw monthly at The Lot Radio, curating DJ B2Bs and live rap and experimental performances. She previously held a five-year residency at Rinse FM London with Rage Radio. She has released a number of collaborations and remixes, including with Billy Woods, Armand Hammer featuring Pink Siifu, Ghias Guevara, Debby Friday, and Fever Ray.

Haram started using her voice on her Nothing to Declare productions, but her EP Handplay finds her in an intimate form, sharing herself as a "lover, daughter, and comrade." Her album Beside Myself is due on Hyperdub in July 2025. On it, her voice sits at the centre of the album while she collaborates with friends, rappers, co-producers, and solo instrumentalists, putting into word and sound what she calls "survival of the spirit."

Internationally, she has played at Dekmantel, Unsound, Roskilde, Le Guess Who, Pitchfork Festival, Tashweesh, and Bonnaroo, and has toured from Tokyo to Istanbul. DJ Haram has released four solo EPs, including Grace (Hyperdub, 2019), Mixed Berries (2019), and Era (2021).
