Time Machine by Lily McKenzie & Murder He Wrote
A raucous tribute to the hazy, high-energy heyday of UK Funky, “Time Machine” sees Lily McKenzie and Murder He Wrote team up for the first time - blending a wistful echo of the past with forward-thinking club energy. As artists who’ve each carved out distinct paths in the UK underground, their collaboration feels both overdue and perfectly timed.
“I wrote ‘Time Machine’ about wanting to go back to a place in time, to a memory, a relationship left behind. The words are emotional and heartfelt - and I love the contrast of that vulnerability against the harder, bassy beat. We wanted the production to match the nostalgia of the lyrics, a nod to the classic UK Funky sound that Murder He Wrote brings to the record so effortlessly.”
Following a standout collaboration in 2024 with house music royalty Eats Everything and Chris Lorenzo on the Ministry of Sound banger “Ghosts,” singer, songwriter, and producer Lily McKenzie continues to shape her sound in 2025.
This May, Lily launched her own imprint, Biscuit Kid, debuting with the widely playlisted single “Busy,” produced by the elusive and acclaimed bullet tooth. The track has already received major playlist placements and early radio traction, setting the tone for an exciting new chapter in Lily's career.
Meanwhile, Murder He Wrote is also enjoying a strong year, earning BBC Radio 2’s Tune of the Week for his dynamic remix of Victoria Port’s “Haunting.” Known for his genre-blurring productions, he continues to release on his label Rhythm Athletic, with recent tracks garnering support from influential tastemakers including Ben UFO, Jamie XX, and Jyoty.
