Always Centered at Night Remixes available now
Moby shares all-new remixes of his latest album, Always Centered at Night. The 58-track album is available on a 2 LP vinyl via Mute. The whopping LP comes following Quiet Home DJ Mix and a sold-out September 2024 European and UK tour celebrating 25 years of Play.
The latest single is the cosmic “Dark1” remix of “Wild Flame” which finds Danaé delightful vocals shimmering over loose congas, spacey synths, and intricate rhythms. The new, reworked tracks see Moby breathe new life into the 2023 original body of work.
The album features 13 collaborations from names one might recognize to others listeners undoubtedly will come to recognize. Lead single “Dark Days” was recorded with acclaimed soul-jazz singer-songwriter Lady Blackbird, a defiant, rhythmic work propelled by her alluring, deep vocals and earnest soul. Other collaborators include SerpentWithFeet on the achingly beautiful “on air,” and Benjamin Zephaniah on the propulsive, break-beat driven “Where is Your Pride?,” a spoken word with a powerful message delivered in the late dub poet’s characteristically warm Handsworth burr. “
Other voices featured include Sudanese, Netherlands-based chanteuse Gaidaa on “Transit,” London-based Burundian royal refugee J.P. Bimeni, and Kingston-raised, London-based Aynzli Jones.
The original album continues the project of the same name that Moby announced in 2022. He saw this project as a similar service to the idiosyncratic New York record shops that he frequented in the late 1980s, where he’d hear something recondite and exciting and it would open up whole new worlds. always centered at night was his way of working with special writers and vocalists to make songs inspired by the spirit of musical discovery.
