about

HM505 is the alias of Chicago producer, Hakim Murphy. 505 Explorations sounds deceptively simple and raw. This is a raw Chicago House record, but one sounding like it has been bleeped from the future to us. Like the early Detroit Techno records, this music leaves you wondering where it's from, who made it and when they made it.

Hakim is a producer/DJ from the Chicago area who's musical style ranges from house to techno. His journey began as a Chicago footwork dancer, gradually becoming inspired by the music and began playing records in 1996. Since then he has ventured into production.

This is an out of this world record for otherworldly dancefloors, and is one of our most cherished releases.

"The name HM505 comes from the university system in the USA. 505 signifies a Masters degree course, and HM505 is me bringing together the culmination of all my techniques. I have a Batchelors degree in music composition, but getting suited up as HM505 feels like I’m further ahead than that. I record a specific way as HM505, I create some sounds, a groove and some drums. The synth sounds come from everywhere, like an iPad or a DAW, or a synth, but I import all those sounds into an MPC and then I add a drum machine and record all of it live with a Kaoss pad for augmentation. Essentially the Kaoss pad adds an extra dimension to the music that is critical to the HM505 sound.”

From the subtle and ethereal flowing pads of ‘Memory Gland’ to the muddled echo chamber resonance of ‘Camera Angle’ and the mutated acid house of ‘Hilt’d’ Hakim Murphy takes us on a truly maverick house exploration.
