audiotheque.053 - HAKIM MURPHY

Hakim Murphy has consistently dropped silents bombs with his releases and mixtapes. As a gifted footwork dancer, Hakim takes the inspiration for his music straight from the dancefloor. Raised in Chicago, he often danced to the music of Larry Heard, Robert Armani, Dance Mania or Cajual Records, which later became some of his biggest influences. Hakim started playing records in 1996. After graduating with a Music Composition degree, Hakim started to produce music and founded MachiningDreams and Synapsis Records in 2008 - later one with Avondale Music Society. Today, those both labels are known for releasing music by, for and from the underground.
