700 Bliss is a collaborative project between Philadelphia-based artists Moor Mother (Camae Ayewa) and DJ Haram (Samira El-Ghazali). Formed in the mid-2010s, the duo represents a vital intersection of the experimental noise scene and the global club underground.
Their sound identity is defined by DJ Haram's 'Middle Eastern power electronics' and Moor Mother's background in punk, jazz, and afrofuturist poetry. Their debut EP, 'Spa 700', established their template of high-pressure bass and radical lyricism, while their 2022 full-length 'Nothing to Declare' expanded their sonic palette to include more complex arrangements and guest features. Critically, they are viewed as leaders in the 'deconstructed club' movement, though their work is more politically overt and vocally driven than many of their peers. They are deeply connected to the Philadelphia DIY scene and the Don Giovanni and Halcyon Veil labels, serving as a bridge between experimental rap, industrial music, and avant-garde electronic composition.
