Edition of 50
New York-based producer DJ Haram presents “Distress Tolerance," the second single from her debut album, Beside Myself, out July 18th on Hyperdub. Following the electrifying, brash energy of the instrumental lead single “Voyeur,” today’s single “Distress Tolerance" puts DJ Haram’s unflinching and heartbroken poetic verse front and center.
Originally conceived as a poem, “Distress Tolerance" finds DJ Haram in conversation with inspiring thinkers like Audre Lorde or Nawal El Saadawi. Recalling the song’s genesis, DJ Haram comments: “I had a lot to get off my chest and wrote this poem on tour. I insisted on trying to perform it on that same tour, even though it didn’t have a beat and I didn’t have the words memorized either. If you’re a musician, you put it in the music."
