RUMBLE N THE RAMBLE (RNR) is an event series by Brooklyn DJ, DAIYAH.
Multifaceted curator of chaos, DAIYAH identifies herself online as a “science website/museum”—not for its literal definition, but as a reflection of her expansive creativity, world-building imagination, and her deep well of knowledge in music, academia, social justice, and mental health. She’s a DJ, yes. But she’s also a promoter, producer, curator, classically trained musician, psychologist in training, and academic.
DAIYAH founded her event series RNR (Rumble N the Ramble) with the dual intention of curating top-tier, cohesive lineups and creating pure, loving kinetic energy through dance music and rave culture. Since its inception, RNR has hosted some of the most coveted underground talent and become a mainstay for those seeking intentional, transformative club experiences.
Originally from Dallas, TX, DAIYAH moved to NYC in 2016. A classically trained vocalist with over a decade of training, her sonic influences span the full spectrum—from west coast rap and soul to jazz, metal, and experimental noise. After cutting her teeth with two house music residencies in 2017, she went solo in 2019 and fully embraced her love for techno.
Following her raw and sensual debut EP MOANING & GROANING, DAIYAH has also released her first full-length album, Heady, Also F****d—a deep-dive into body-driven techno, rock, and experimental club textures. The album is a visceral, evocative, and spiritually liberating record that showcases her sonic storytelling and dedication to the underground.
Known for her unhinged, unexpected, and primal sets, DAIYAH leans into industrial and experimental sounds that transform the dance floor into a ritual space. Whether through her chaotic DJ sets or multisensory events, she invites audiences into immersive experiences where authenticity, freedom of expression, and sonic rebellion reign.
She remains steadfast in her dual mission of becoming both a respected musician and a clinical psychologist. When asked if she can really do both, she simply says: “Why not?”
