HMR Selects: Key To Life – Forever – Michael Gray Extended Remix

Sub-Urban Unveils Soulful House Masterpiece with Michael Gray’s Remix of ‘Forever’

The heartbeat of soulful house resonates once again as New York’s esteemed label Sub-Urban unveils a stunning remix of the Key To Life classic, ‘Forever’, courtesy of British club legend Michael Gray. Renowned for his prowess as a producer, DJ, and remixer, Gray’s influence stretches across continents, with headline sets alongside his counterpart in the legendary duo Full Intention, earning him adoration from house aficionados worldwide.

With a portfolio that boasts collaborations with luminaries such as Blaze, Robert Owens, and remixes for icons like Inner City and the late Frankie Knuckles, Gray’s musical journey has been nothing short of legendary. His solo ventures, including revered tracks like ‘So Fly’, ‘Borderline’, and the timeless anthem ‘The Weekend’, have solidified his status as a torchbearer of the genre. Notably, Gray’s recent accolade of clinching the top spot in Traxsource’s ‘Top Artists of 2020’ further cements his enduring influence in the realm of house music.

Originally crafted by Sub-Urban label founder Tommy Musto under his Key To Life alias back in 1994, ‘Forever’ receives a contemporary makeover in Gray’s capable hands. Retaining the essence of American vocal house, Gray infuses his remix with a seamless blend of nostalgia and modern flair, resulting in a record that resonates with both seasoned enthusiasts and contemporary audiences alike.

The remix package features two distinct renditions: the expansive ‘Forever (Michael Gray Extended Remix)’ and the stripped-back ‘Forever (Michael Gray Dub)’. Showcasing Gray’s deft touch in the studio, both versions are poised to captivate dancefloors with their infectious rhythms and emotive melodies.
