Music has touched Hakim Murphy in a way that made him fall in love with its rhythms, harmonies, and melodies. So in the natural progression dancing took over his body, but yet Murphy's soul craved for more and that is when playing records surfaced. Ah, then the fascination with the fast dance tracks turned into deep House production through friends and experiences, which them blossomed into a Bachelor’s degree in music composition. Liberal arts training allowed Murphy to take classes and learn about human intellect, nature, and essentially his personal definition of art. Synapsis Records and Machining Dreams record labels are born and are currently releasing music by, for, and from the underground. Then after learning the craft, collaborations were born as Murphy is part of Innerspace Halflife, Pegasus Heat, Resonating, Hardware Hustlerz, Slowmotion, and Dream Scoring.

Obsolete Music Technology

Specter’s interest in house music piqued in the 80s, when the wunderkind genre blew up in the city of Chicago. Specter would tape and devour the novel, often raw and eventually legendary mixes from radio stations like WBMX, WCYC, WCRX, WKKC and WGCI. His early influences include DJs like Farley Jackmaster Funk, Edward Get Down Crosby, Mickey Oliver, Bobby Q Bobby, Lee Collins, Lil Louis and the inimitable Ron Hardy. Inspired by UK techno in the 90s, he was deeply connected with Sound Signature records and artists and so began a collaboration with the team and boss Theo Parrish, releasing 'The Gooch' EP and Rolling Stones-acclaimed 'Build To Last' album in 2018, coined a record you need to know. Alongside that strong connection, he founded the Chi Deep House label Tetrode Music with releases from Damon Lamar as well as his own. Specter's sound brings the real Detroit balance between soul and heavy industrial nuances, stemming from soul, disco to deep house and techno.
