Awake All Hours
INSIGHTS 032 // DJ HARAM - Daughter, Lover & Comrade
In this episode of INSIGHTS, I am joined by the singular and brilliant DJ Haram, who’s eclectic DJ and production style leaves almost no corner of the globe unturned, with influences from strains of US and UK club sounds, rap, noise, Arabic and Middle Eastern music to name a few. Highlights in her discography include 2022’s incendiary album ‘Nothing To Declare’ as 700 Bliss, her collaboration with Moor Mother, as well as her latest EP on Hyperdub, ‘Handplay’, which came out in December last year. Embarking on a series of live shows and building towards her debut solo album, I am honoured to be joined by Zubeyda Muzeyyen.
Over the course of this interview, Zubeyda discusses her early years and the influence of Middle Eastern wedding music and Turkish psych on her as a multi-disciplinary artist, settling in Brooklyn following the Covid-19 pandemic, reflecting on the difficulties and enduring effect of lockdown, representing the underground on her Monday Night Raw show on The Lot Radio, her approach to production and collaborations with Billy Woods / Armand Hammer and Moor Mother as 700 Bliss, signing to Hyperdub and exploring the themes of borders and a global passport on ‘Nothing To Declare’, embracing vulnerability on her 'Handplay' EP and forthcoming debut album, concluding by highlighting some favourite music selections and future projects.
Clips of ‘Handplay’ and ‘No Funeral’ by DJ Haram from the ‘Handplay’ EP on Hyperdub are used in this podcast.
