Moby relished the experience of collaborating across timezones with Øneheart.
The 59-year-old star joined forces with Øneheart, one of the Russian producers behind Snowfall, the TikTok hit, to record lagrange point, and Moby has admitted to loving the experience of working across borders and timezones with the young star.
He said: “One of my favourite 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.”
Moby – whose real name is Richard Hall – observed that he worked on the track while enjoying the “perfect backdrop” in Los Angeles.
The music star explained: “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.”
lagrange point is the lead single for the album Samsara Passengers, which is a collaboration between Øneheart, Dean Korso and Leadwave – Øneheart’s dad – along with guest artists.
Moby has already sold more than 20 million records in his career and is credited with helping to bring dance music to a mainstream audience in the 90s.
However, he acknowledged earlier this year that fame and fortune are “two of the most destructive forces on the planet”.
Speaking from his home in Los Angeles, Moby told Sky News: “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.”
