DJ Haram

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. DJ Haram currently runs ‘Monday Night Raw’ monthly at Brooklyn staple the Lot Radio, curating open format DJ b2bs and live rap and experimental performances. 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 latest album “Beside Myself” landed in July 2025. Her voice sits at its centre, while she collaborates with friends — rappers, co-producers, solo instrumentalists — putting into word and sound what she calls “survival of the spirit.” Internationally, she has played on noteworthy stages like Dekmantel, Unsound, Roskilde, Le Guess Who, Pitchfork Festival, Tashweesh, Bonnaroo and has toured from Tokyo to Istanbul. Additionally, DJ Haram has released 4 solo EPs including Grace (Hyperdub, 2019) and the self-released Mixed Berries (2019) and Era (2021).

“DJ Haram makes music that cuts through the air and demands to be heard.” – Stereogum

“balances finger-tingling skills and fine-tuned ears with a mischievous, perhaps revolutionary, urge to desync the role of the DJ from, say, that of hedonism advocate.” – The Quietus

“jaw-droppingly inventive” – Pitchfork
