DJ Haram announces Handplay EP, shares title track
thefader.comDJ Haram has announced a new EP titled Handplay and released its lead single, which is also its opener and title track. The tape, due out December 1 via Hyperdub, is essentially a double single, with “Handplay” and its as-yet-unreleased companion “No Funeral” representing side A and their respective instrumentals comprising side B. “Handplay” is a a hyper-sensual onslaught of industrial 909s, dissonant flute, and a scrum of sultry cooing and whispers, with Haram’s deadpan vocal line riding the wave, repeating the word “gushy” until it becomes part of the rhythm track.
