Mr. Murray, emerging from the heart of dancefloors and orchestrating events in New York and Berlin, Mr. Murray embarked on a musical odyssey that would shape her career. 
The pivotal moment arrived when she stepped into DubSpot's realm in 2011, igniting an unyielding determination to follow her passion. Thus began her journey of musical exploration, marked by the collection of records and the birth of the Outwatch event series—a platform in Brooklyn where kindred international artists converged to share their sonic visions.
 Berlin's magnetic pull beckoned in 2017, offering five transformative years defined by discovery, creation, excavation, elation, and performances. Amid collaborations with a spectrum of artists, her sonic reverberations graced legendary venues like Hoppetosse and ://About Blank. The inception of FTF Records (For The Friends) marked another milestone, a platform through which she reverently amplifies the voices of artists who resonate with her soul.
 Returning to the embrace of her city, Mr. Murray remains firmly entrenched in the vinyl-only realm, her convictions strong. Today, her presence can be felt coursing through Brooklyn's veins, and within the newly unfurled collective, Ladies On Wax. United by her global record store escapades and boundless travels, she channels a harmonious fusion of genres and styles, painting her sets with shades that mirror her mood. Join us August 25th for the Ladies on Wax b-day bash!
