MOBY – ALL NEW REMIXES

Acclaimed electronic musician, producer, and activist Moby shares all-new remixes with two disc, 58-track album, always centered at night remixes out now via Mute alongside “wild flame (dark1 remix)” featuring Danaé. The whopping LP comes following Quiet Home DJ Mix and a sold out September 2024 EU/UK tour celebrating 25 years of Play.

Moby opens up the sheer scope of the acan album project with a meaty 58-track remix album. The latest single, out today, is the cosmic “dark1” remix of “wild flame” which finds Danaé delightful vocals shimmering over loose congas, spacey synths and intricate rhythms. The new, re-worked tracks see Moby breathe new life into the 2023 original body of work. Thrilled to share the jam-packed project, Moby says, “I felt that the collaborations on ‘always centered at night’ were each so special that I wanted to create remixes to give the vocals as many sonic backgrounds as possible.”

Even by Moby’s standards, always centered at night is a bit special. The album features 13 collaborations in all, 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. “As a vegan activist, and as a wise and compassionate man, Benjamin inspired me for many years,” says Moby. “I hope that ‘where is your pride?’ honors his legacy and also draws people’s attention to his life, work, and principles.”

Other wonderful voices on always centered at night include Sudanese, Netherlands-based chanteuse Gaidaa on “transit,” London based Burundian royal refugee J.P. Bimeni, and Kingston raised, London based Aynzli Jones.

Always centered at night–the album–is the continuation of 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.

In his pursuit of new sounds, Moby has become something of a collector of voices. He’s a connoisseur of the timbre and texture of human vocal chords, whether sampling artists like Bessie Jones, Vera Hall or Boy Blue on Play, or working with superstars like David Bowie, Ozzy Osborne and Britney Spears; “I’m always looking. Sometimes it’s about going on YouTube. Sometimes it’s Spotify. Other times, it’s just walking around Lower Manhattan going to karaoke places, where I’ve actually found a couple of singers. It’s this constant process of looking for voices, and getting excited and inspired when I find a wonderful voice.”

These are often personal songs, and the personal is the political, as is the border-defying nature of the work. Moreover, they’re crepuscular, conceived at twilight, with many of the styles of the last 30 years in electronic music coming to the fore, such as the trip-hoppy “we’re going wrong” featuring Brie O’Banion, the broken beat, almost drum ‘n’ bass influenced “medusa” (with the aforementioned Aynzli Jones), or the Latin house of “feelings come undone” with Raquel Rodriguez.

Moby is a multi-platinum-selling, multi-award-winning singer, songwriter, producer, author, and animal rights activist. He has been a vegan and vegan activist for 35 years and last year released his directorial debut Punk Rock Vegan Movie via his production company Little Walnut, a passionate and stylistically idiosyncratic look at the ongoing relationship between the worlds of punk rock and animal rights. It includes interviews with some of the biggest names in punk and rock history.

The expansive, fresh remix album, always centered at night remixes–complete with two discs and 58 tracks–is out now via Mute. Keep up with all things Moby on YouTube, Facebook, Twitter and Instagram.

Billie Eilish Covers Complex

TODAY, Complex relaunched its print magazine with Billie Eilish gracing the cover. 

Launched in 2002 as “The Ultimate Buyers Guide for Men,” Complex magazine became an instant cultural phenomenon, defining trends and shaping youth culture for over a decade. With its razor-sharp focus on streetwear, music, and pop culture, Complex magazine was the definitive destination for readers who craved the latest insights on fashion, music, and everything that mattered in the world of convergence culture, drastically shifting the landscape of youth culture.

After a hiatus since 2016, the beloved publication is making its long-awaited return, complete with its famed dual sided flip covers) this week at the Complex Miami x VERDY pop-up at the Faena Forum for Miami Art Week. 

The first issue’s cover will feature Billie Eilish, photographed by Kenneth Capello, and include full recent digital cover features, including Lil Yachty x James Blake, Camila Cabello, and Eminem.

In the Billie Eilish cover feature, the global star discusses:

  • Her experiences with existentialism – “There could have easily been a world without me, but since I’m in the world, I am going to try to help people and be impactful and help change things that have been in place for so long and are so outdated.”
  • The struggles of making her latest album, HIT ME HARD AND SOFT – “Oh my God, it was horrible. I learned a lot, though, and I had a good time with my brother. The fact that it was so difficult to make is good, honestly, because it shows that we can do it, even when we’re going through it.”
  • Who she listens to while on tour – “We had a four-hour bus ride the other day and we listened to Tom Odell, Sufjan Stevens, Patrick Watson, and Mitski. That’s the vibe that I’ve been in recently. An emo vibe.”
  • Her relationship with social media – “I go on the internet to see the videos that I want to see, but then I get sucked in. Then I get all fucked up, and I’m stuck. So I’ve been back on it, but I am trying to get off. It’s my cigarettes. It’s really a problem.”

To celebrate this monumental relaunch, Complex is debuting the magazine at the Miami Art Complex x Verdy event (Dec 5-7) before rolling out to Complex Shop and select newsstands nationwide starting December 9. The magazine will be published quarterly as a limited-edition collectible featuring the news, interviews, and recommendations Complex has been known for for over two decades. 

Lil Baby – Touchdown

GRAMMY-Award winning superstar Lil Baby (Quality Control Music/Motown) continues his sheer dominance with the release of his new video “Touchdown.” Directed by Gerald Victor, Lil Baby proves why he is an elite playmaker inside and outside the booth, playing the quarterback role and leading his team to a triumphant victory. Whether he’s dodging tackles on the field or haters in the streets, Baby’s commanding presence and seamless execution as a field general is why he’s among the game’s top artists. “I’m the one, ain’t nothing two about me / I’m that n—a, ain’t nothing you can do about it,” he raps on the hard-hitting beat produced by Wheezy.

Lil Baby will prove why he’s Atlanta’s hometown hero this weekend when he takes center stage at the State Farm Arena for his Lil Baby & Friends concert. The sold-out show will feature Baby performing from his storied discography, including blockbuster names blazing the stage alongside him.

Since the release of “5 AM” and “Insecurities,” Baby’s terror on the charts continues, as both records debuted on the Billboard Hot 100 last month, pushing his total to a staggering 144 songs, making him eighth all-time. This isn’t surprising as Baby’s searing run as a perennial features artist remains his calling card after churning out hits for Central Cee (“BAND4BAND”), Future and Metro Boomin’ (“All My Life”), Rod Wave (“F–k The Fame”), further solidifying his status as one of the all-time leaders on the Billboard Hot 100.

Last month, Baby teased the forthcoming collaborators on his highly anticipated album, including Future, Young Thug, Rod Wave, and more. He also kept his fans on high alert with more buzzy and noteworthy collaborations. Billboards in Los Angeles, New York, Houston, Atlanta, and Chicago have read: “Whatever Wham Say Goes,” referring to Young Thug’s famous tweet from last June.

With Baby shifting the focus back to himself, he’s readying the release for his forthcoming album WHAM – his first in two years since his platinum-selling No. 1 album It’s Only Me.

NLE CHOPPA – OR WHAT Orchestra

NLE Choppa and 41 just redefined classical music. In the wildly entertaining new video for “Or What (Orchestra Version),” Choppa trades trap beats for timpani and X-rated lyrics for… well, still X-rated lyrics. Backed by a full chamber orchestra, gospel-style backup singers, and a hilariously overworked conductor, this new rendition of Choppa’s hit single is both a love letter to the arts and a laugh-out-loud romp. Watch it HERE

Draped in matching ’90s-style black leather outfits, Choppa and 41 channel old-school R&B energy, complete with gyrating choreography and smoldering stares at the camera. Meanwhile, the conductor struggles to keep his composure (and the orchestra on beat) as explicit lyrics clash with classical instrumentation. It’s the type of chaos you can’t look away from.

The original “Or What” has been a runaway success, amassing over 90 million streams and 13 million YouTube views while climbing the Billboard Hot 100 and earning the greatest gains at urban radio. Part of Choppa’s critically acclaimed Slut SZN project, the single solidifies his standing as one of today’s most versatile and boundary-pushing artists.

This year, NLE Choppa has been on an unstoppable streak. He recently celebrated 12 new RIAA-certified Gold and Platinum plaques, bringing his career total to a staggering 24 plaques. Check out event photos from his recent plaque presentation at Warner Records HERE. With over 9 billion global streams to date, the Memphis native continues to tour worldwide, including a buzz-worthy performance at Rolling Loud Thailand and is gearing up for even more music and surprises over the holidays.

Choppa’s resume doesn’t stop at music. He’s also flexed his comedic chops as the co-writer, co-director, and star of NLE Choppa Presents: The Wash, a modern, laugh-out-loud reimagining of the 2001 cult classic by Snoop Dogg & Dr. Dre. Featuring cameos from Lil Wayne, Sukihana, Ray Vaughn, and Lou Ratchet, the short film proves Choppa is as dynamic behind the camera as he is in front of it. Whether he’s breaking charts or breaking classical music conventions, NLE Choppa continues to show the world there’s nothing he can’t do. Keep an eye out for more music coming this holiday season—because Choppa isn’t slowing down anytime soon.

Maserati GranTurismo 110 ANNIVERSARIO

A Special Series of the Brand’s Icon Created to Celebrate 110 Years of Italian luxury

Honoring 110 years of performance, design, craftsmanship, uniqueness, and technology, Maserati celebrates a major milestone with the launch of a special series of an iconic model from the House of the Trident: “GranTurismo 110 ANNIVERSARIO.” The Maserati GranTurismo is so much more than a car – it is an icon and a lifestyle that perfectly embodies the Brand’s spirit.

This model combines sporty performance with comfort suitable for long distances and luxury travel, representing the Brand’s future with Maserati’s 100% electric Folgore powertrain. The GranTurismo Folgore will become a leading light with the “110 ANNIVERSARIO” special series version – a limited edition model available in the same number of units as the years the House of the Trident has graced the track and road. It symbolizes the bridge between the brand’s past, present, and future. Heritage and innovation come together to create exclusive content made possible by Maserati’s Fuoriserie Customization Program. 

This limited series is available in two configurations comprised of 55 models each: the first in Rame Folgore and the second in the exclusive Blu Inchiostro, both with dedicated finishes, special rims with “black and copper” details, and interiors in denim or black Econyl with stitching in copper or blue.The true standout of this limited series is its logo, created exclusively for the anniversary: the Trident, followed by the numerals “110” at a special tilt, is located on the C-pillar and represents the Brand’s dynamism and capacity for innovation in its 110-year history.The same logo will be placed on another car of great importance for Maserati: the Tipo Folgore electric single-seater, due to take part in the first race of Season 11 of the top all-electric series, the ABB FIA Formula E World Championship, in São Paulo, Brazil on December 7.

The single-seater will take to the track with the new blue and rose gold livery, embellished with the 110 tribute logo beside the cockpit. “GranTurismo 110 ANNIVERSARIO” will make its debut on the road as part of the exclusive Trident Experience Program, a two-day event designed by Maserati to celebrate this major anniversary together with its esteemed guests and most passionate customers.

The limited series, in both the Rame Folgore and Blu Inchiostro configurations, will be the star on Saturday, November 30 at the opening of the celebrations, with an unveiling at the showroom on Viale Ciro Menotti, where participants will be immersed in the Brand’s history and modern identity.The mission at Maserati is to write the future of mobility in the luxury segment, focusing on its customers’ requests.

It is a mission that still continues even 110 years after its founding through the “GranTurismo 110 ANNIVERSARIO” special series, igniting the Brand’s future and once again bringing Italian luxury to the world.
