Episode 328-Sour Times with guest DJ Haram

Author: Dad Bod Rap Pod September 4, 2025 Duration: 1:03:36
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. Produced by Demone Carter, aka DEM ONE. Theme song by Cutso, with lyrics by DEM ONE Dad Bod Rap Pod is a proud member of the Stony Island Audio Network Tracks mentioned in this episode: Sometimes Care Looks Like Leave Me The Fuck Alone — Small Bill Rounds — Four Tet Murmations — Flock Snaeha (Bang Bang) — Pan Pon How Great Thou Art — Sensational Saints Last Days of Being A Wanker — Lolina

The conversation flows from three distinct but deeply connected perspectives on Dad Bod Rap Pod. Hosted by rapper Demone Carter (DEM ONE), music writer David Ma, and record collector Nate LeBlanc, this podcast digs into the culture with a rare combination of insider knowledge, critical analysis, and archival passion. Their discussions are less about hot takes and more about substantive, respectful dialogue with the artists, producers, and behind-the-scenes figures who have shaped the genre. You'll hear interviews that feel like conversations among peers, often uncovering lesser-known stories and appreciating the craft from multiple angles. As part of the Stony Island Audio network, the show is built on a foundation of genuine fandom and expertise. Listening to this podcast means getting a rounded, thoughtful examination of hip-hop's legacy and its current evolution, all filtered through the experiences of three dedicated enthusiasts who happen to have great chemistry. It’s for anyone who wants to move beyond the surface and into the deeper layers of the music.
