Collaborating with Øneheart, Moby joined forces with one of the Russian producers behind the TikTok hit ‘Snowfall,’ to record ‘Lagrange Point.’
Addressing his experience of working across borders and timezones, the 59-year old American deejay/producer/artist said:
“One of my favorite things about collaborating with Øneheart was the fact that as i was working on lagrange point as the sun was setting in Los Angeles, Dmitry was working on it as the sun was rising where he lived in Russia.” “The fact that this quiet, spacious music was travelling instantaneously through 12 timezones and thousands and thousands of empty miles of air and space somehow created the perfect backdrop for the collaboration.”
The frst single for the Samsara Passengers LP, ‘Lagrange Point’ is a collaboration between Øneheart, Dean Korso and Leadwave – Øneheart’s father – along with guest artists.
Credited by many for helping to bring dance music to the mainstream audience in the 1990s, Moby is responsible for selling 20,000,000+ records, however, he acknowledged earlier this year that fame and fortune are “two of the most destructive forces on the planet”.
In an interview with Sky News from his home in Los Angeles while enjoying the “perfect backdrop,” the musician born Richard Hall added: “I think fame and fortune are, probably, empirically two of the most destructive forces on the planet. I mean, if fame and fortune fixed things, Kurt Cobain and Amy Winehouse would still be making records.” “I guess it’s a very easy system to buy into, especially in a place like … in New York, in Los Angeles, in these big cities that are driven by ostentation and consumption and the need for external validation. It’s hard to resist those temptations. But then … you look at the consequences of that.” “I’d rather try and live a rational life and not necessarily let other people’s concerns dictate what my concerns should be.”
