Moby will release “Last Night Remixed” on Mute on November 25, 2008. Enlisted to remix tracks from ‘Last Night’ – the most dance oriented and electronic Moby album this decade – are the current electronic cream of the crop including Holy Ghost!, Freemasons, Seamus Haji, Spencer & Hill, and Drop The Lime among others.
Remixing has been at the heart of the Moby machine for fifteen years. In 1992 alone, Moby mixed The B52s, The Prodigy, Brian Eno, Jam & Spoon, and Michael Jackson. Since then, Moby’s remixed artists including Aerosmith, The Beastie Boys, David Bowie and Metallica.
Moby on remixing:
“One of the best things about producing and remixing other artists is to deconstruct their master tapes and see how they’ve put their songs together. Remixing ‘Beat It’ was amazing, as I was able to deconstruct an iconic song produced by Quincy Jones. It was almost like going back to school. Remixes in 2008 are more important than they’ve ever been and the great thing about the ubiquity of software like Abelton and Logic is that now almost anyone can be a remixer.”
Moby’s music has always found a place on the best dance floors and turntables. And now it’s the new breeds’ turn to try their hand at Moby’s own music. Just as, ‘Go – The Very Best of Moby: Remixed’ (2006) featured classy remakes from Vitalic, Katcha, Armand Van Helden and Mylo, ‘Last Night Remixed’ will continue that tradition.
Hand-picked by Moby, ‘Last Night Remixed’ includes remixes of tracks from his latest album ‘Last Night’ released April 1st, 2008, including ‘I Love To Move In Here’ remixed by both New York disco-punk outfit Holy Ghost! and Seamus Haji, who brings his typical frenetic beats to the track. The Freemasons remix of ‘Disco Lies’ was a hit for everyone from Pete Tong (who opened his show with the mix at the start of August) to Dave Spoon and Carl Cox. Elsewhere, you’ll find bass-driven club mixes from Brooklyn newcomers Drop The Lime, breaks don General Midi, Dutch producer Mason and Sheffield’s D Ramirez.
