HARDWARE HUSTLERZ is the new unit launched by two artists: HAKIM MURPHY, part of Chicago's next generation, who has been piling up releases from his own labels 〈SYNAPSIS〉 and 〈MACHINING DREAMS〉 and who broke through last year with INNERSPACE HIGHLIFE, his unit with partner IKE VELEZ; and ANDRES ORDONEZ, who while working at a music-related company has done wonderfully wide-ranging work under his solo alias SPECTOR, with tracks not only on two singles for 〈SOUND SIGNATURE〉 but also drawing offers from Spain's 〈SEMANTICA〉 and Argentina's 〈MONOCHROMATIC〉!
