This Saturday sees the pro-vegan writer and transcendental electronic music producer, Moby, headline The Nest in Dalston for a one off DJ set ahead of his gig at The Roundhouse at the end of May. Steering clear of the promotional tour for his new album, Destroyed, Moby will be remaining faithful to his “no allegiance to any style of music” policy, playing a rave set to keep dance floor dwellers going until the early hours.
Eager to play a small basement venue in Dalston, and excited by The Nest’s Saturday downtempo house, techno and disco vibes, Moby will be selecting alongside the MAKE ME camp with sets from Scott Dickie (wildkats), Rubin and Rupes.
We’ve selected 5 Moby tracks from his extensive back catalogue to get you reminiscing about times bygone. Both Moby’s finest moments and obvious family favourites feature so if these don’t get you in the mood for Saturday, perhaps only a surreal sighting of the tiny electronic genius in a Dalston basement will…
Moby’s rework of Brian Eno’s ‘Fractal Zoom’ from 1992 is the artist’s self-proclaimed “favourite remix”. It’s all expansive space and distant vibes…
We don’t know why your heart feels so bad, but we certainly hope it heals itself soon! This track is a perfect example of the “affecting” music Moby strives to create for his listeners.
As Moby’s favourite musician of all time, the producer’s David Bowie remixes make up some of his most highly revered tracks. Whilst we’re all for Moby’s ‘Sunday’ edit, the unabashed house vibes of ‘Dead Man Walking’ never fail to get your feet itching for the floor.

‘Porcelain’ needs no introduction. There was definitely a point back in the day when what seems like every high-end advert licensed a Moby production for the soundtrack.
Unofficial videos interpreting old Moby tracks are easy to come by on youtube. This attempt, set to “Whispering Wind”, has awe-inducing slow shots of all that’s inspiring and fearful in Mother Nature (and the customary moving quotations penned by its insightful director.) I’d personally be more inclined to set this track to a montage of youtube cat videos…
