Show Notes
Episode 328 Sour Times with guest DJ Haram
Show notes from the bleeding edge…
Far beyond the genteel pop music stylings that comprise our day-to-day listening environment, there exists a world of sound that refuses to be refined, restrained, or easily defined. This is the space that New York–based DJ Haram inhabits: her experimental style blends bass, Middle Eastern percussion, noise, and elements of indie rap. You can hear this in her collaborations with the boundary-breaking artists Armand Hammer and Moor Mother.
On this week’s episode of the Dad Bod Rap Pod, we talk with DJ Haram about her new album Beside Myself, out now on Hyperdub Ltd. She opens up about her musical evolution, personal politics, and reflections on mortality in an illuminating conversation.
The DJ Haram interview is framed by our intro and outro segments, where we highlight some of our favorite fringe and obscure records. Wade into the deep end with us.
