MOBY Biography
Richard Melville Hall, 11 September 1965, Harlem, New York City, New York, USA. New York-based DJ, recording artist, Christian, vegan and philosophy graduate. Moby is so nicknamed because of the fact that he can trace his ancestry to the author of the famous whaling tale. This is by no means the only interesting aspect of his idiosyncratic artistic life. He rarely travels anywhere by car because of the environmental considerations, and generally displays little of the public anonymity that is the creed of the underground DJ.One of the leading figures in the commercialisation of techno music, in 1991 Moby took the Twin Peaks theme, under the guise of “Go”, into the UK Top 10. Although that appealed to the more perverse natures of both mainstream and club audiences, the release of “I Feel It”/“Thousand” in 1993 was yet more bizarre. The latter track was classified by The Guinness Book Of Records as the fastest single ever, climaxing at 1,015 bpm. Such recordings were typical of Moby’s playful, irreverent attitude to his work. Raised in Danbury and then Darien, Connecticut, in his youth he was a member of hardcore punk outfit the Vatican Commandos, and even substituted as singer for Flipper while their vocalist was in prison. He readily brought these rock ‘n’ roll inclinations to bear on the world of dance music: at the 1992 DMC/Mixmag Awards ceremony he trashed his keyboards at the end of his set. | read more

I am trying to share with the DJ/Dance industry my formula/blueprint for the production of professional standard turntable music.Original, imaginative and highly innovative, this formula is called The iconic prism installation(Http://www.iconic-prism-installation.com/) available via google. The formula consists of seven characters that converge to offer a complete system for the production of professional standard turntable music.I am campaigning for the formula/web-site to be used in the production of every future example of the dj/turntable music form, I hope you would like to join in. |
