10 iconic Moby moments
From 'Go' to Little Pine and beyond
‘18’ 2002
In the early 2000s Moby was in the prime of his career. After the release of his first big commercial success with the album ‘Play’, he followed that up with another smash hit in ‘18’. Touring extensively around the release, ‘18’ went gold and platinum in 30 countries and peaked at #1 on charts in 10 countries including the UK. Although the album didn’t sell as well as ‘Play’, again his new music was featured heavily in TV shows, films, video games and other media.
Performed with David Bowie 2002
It’s no secret that David Bowie is one of Moby’s heroes. So when Moby got to perform ‘Heroes’ and ‘Cactus’ with the legend in 2002 on Jay Leno it was a moment that proved he too was making a lasting mark on music culture. That year Moby also booked Bowie to play his Area2 festival and the two artists would become good friends. On their friendship, Moby said "They were my neighborhood pals. It started to seem normal but at the back of my mind I never forgot the fact that David Bowie was a demigod and a genius and the best musician who will ever live”.
