Dutchman Romeo Nkansah, 37, was killed minutes after he started talking to the women in Greenland Road at around 3.30am on May 29.
Detectives say an argument broke out between him and a group of men the women knew before he was fatally stabbed at around 3.45am in Greenland Street.
Mr Nkansah, who lived in Holloway, was rushed to hospital but died from his injuries around an hour later.
A post-mortem carried out at St Pancras' Mortuary on Tuesday concluded he died from a single stab wound.
Police now want to trace two women caught on CCTV who may hold vital clues to what happened that night.
Detective Chief Inspector Jamie Piscopo, who is leading the investigation, said: "I would appeal to those people who were part of either group that Sunday morning to come forward and talk to police.
"It is clear that you may have vital information about the events that led up to Romeo’s murder and who is responsible.
“There are two women in particular that we believe Romeo was trying to talk to and I would like to speak to them as a matter of urgency.
"This is a really popular and busy area, with a nightlife that runs until the early hours so I know there will be other people who may have seen something that have yet to come forward.
“This is why we have taken the decision to release CCTV images of people seen in the area. If you are one of those shown in the images or know who is, please get in touch and help use with our enquiries."
He went on: “Romeo was a loving and committed father of two, and a much loved brother and son.
"I would urge anyone who may have seen something, or knows the identity of Romeo’s murderer to get in touch with us and help us find answers for his family.”
Anyone with information should call the incident room on 020 8345 3715, via 101, or contact Crimestoppers on 0800 555 111.
