Murray Lake is a new name from an established talent.
As a DJ and producer Murray Lake cut his teeth in Australia over the last decade, gaining recognition for his frisky sound and the opening of the much lauded Sentir Studio where he has recorded with the likes of Anderson .Paak and Boys Noize.
A European 12" remix release followed, and alongside his interest in club culture the producer is now developing his chops as a songwriter.
Eventually the two coalesced. New single 'Is This Goodbye' finds these aspects of his imagination intertwined, a piece of future-facing soul music with divine production.
The fluttering synths are sheer disco heaven, while the shuddering beat seems to grab you from the off, the perfect foundation for Jamie Lidell's guest vocal.
“The story is intense” says Jamie, “Knowing someone is sick and it might be the last meeting but it’s not emotional. The need to get some kind of closure is selfish, but human”.
An entrancing, powerful offering, 'Is This Goodbye' makes parting sound like such sweet sorrow. Tune in now.
