Moby (http://www.myspace.com/moby) -- one of the pioneering musicians of the last 20 years -- will perform a DJ set with DFA Associates Holy Ghost!, Justin Miller and Jacques Renault at a free MySpace Secret Show , Tuesday, April 22 at Smart Bar in Chicago. The show starts at 9 PM.
Moby recently released his latest album Last Night on April 1, through Mute Records. Alternating between hands-in-the-air anthems, old school hip-hop and end-of-the-night ambience, Last Night is a dance music tour de force that looks back at Moby’s deep roots in the club scene while simultaneously embracing the future.
The album has been hailed by various music outlets, including Rolling Stone who, in a four star review declared, “it’s exciting to hear this forty-two-year-old vegan blogger return to form.” Likewise, Moby’s DJ sets are not to be missed. As Pitchfork noted after a recent appearance in Austin: “If you ever get the chance to see Moby DJ at a warehouse party, do it. Think what you will about Moby, but dude knows how to rock a dancefloor.”
MySpace Music has organized more than 100 Secret Shows since the franchise launched in February 2006 with artists like Rilo Kiley, Fran Ferdinand, the Yeah Yeah Yeahs, and Ray LaMontagne performing in cities around the world.
