| | Last Night was recorded in Moby's home studio in Manhattan, NY and features a number of guest vocalists, including the original 70's MC Grandmaster Caz, one of the writers of Rappers' Delight, Sylvia from Kudu, the UK's Aynzli Jones, plus Smokey and So Simple from the Nigerian 419 Squad. "Last Night is basically a love letter to dance music in New York City. What I love about the New York approach to dance music is the eclecticism and the open minded-ness on the part of the musicians, the DJ's, and the people in the bars and clubs. In making Last Night I essentially tried to take a long 8 hour night out in New York City and condense it into a 65 minute long album." --Moby

Notes & Personnel Info |  | Personnel: Chrissi Poland, Aynzli Jones, Luci Butler, Sylvia Gordon, Wendy Starland (vocals). | | Audio Mixer: Dan Grech-Marguerat. | | Liner Note Author: Moby. | | Editors: Ian Duncan; Kurt Uenala. | | Photographer: Dale May. | | A sharp about-face from his poppy previous outing, HOTEL, 2008's LAST NIGHT finds Moby (aka Richard Melville Hall) returning to his rave roots with a heavily electronic album tailor-made to reflect a gleefully decadent New York City club-hopping excursion. Although Moby has dabbled in guitar-driven rock (ANIMAL RIGHTS) and moody instrumentals (AMBIENT), he is clearly most at home performing house-influenced techno, as revealed on the 1992 giddy dance-floor hit "Go," which unsurprisingly served as the title of his '06 greatest-hits collection, and much of the sample-laden PLAY. Consciously avoiding the warm, organic leanings of that earlier record, Moby indulges in a cool, robotic sound on LAST NIGHT, as exemplified by the glittery "I Love to Move in Here," which features the Cold Crush Brothers' Grandmaster Caz, and "Alice," another energetic hip-hop-infused track. While it doesn't eclipse PLAY, LAST NIGHT is fine return to EVERTHING IS WRONG-era form, meaning that the glow-stick twirling crowd has reason to celebrate. |

| | Bio | | | Moby Emerging from the techno scene of the early 1990's, Moby has explored a variety of musical styles, some of which betray his roots in punk rock. His unavoidable 1999 LP Play was popular the world over selling nearly 10 million copies. He is a multi-instrumentalist, veteran live performer and skilled remix artist whose approach to his art has done much to remove some of the conventions from techno music. His outspoken views on a variety of issues mean that Moby is often a difficult man to ignore.
