Mike Gamwell, better known as Knightlife, is a mysterious beat-maker hailing from Melbourne, Australia where the back-alleys and laneways have seasoned his inimitable sound.
In 2007, he caught the attention of dance music luminaries Cut Copy who subsequently signed him to their cult Cutters Records imprint.
A series of four EP's was to follow, all of which drew critical praise among the blogging elite and in the case of 2011's "Serve You Right" taste-making Australian radio station Triple J.
In 2012, Knightlife returns crafting songs that cater to the chaos of the club and the laziness of the lounge room, producing music that's intelligent but never takes itself too seriously. Drawing on influences from ELO to Giorgio Moroder and The Human League, he presents himself as a knight in shining armour for a unifying dance-pop resurgence.
"Without Love" is the first sample of Knightlife's debut LP (due 2013) featuring vocals from his equally mysterious, serial collaborator known simply as ‘AP’. Synthier and more eclectic than you may remember him, this is classic Knightlife with a fresh lemony twist.
