Moby found commercial and critical success with his fifth album Play (1999), which, after receiving little recognition, became an unexpected global hit in 2000 after each track was licensed to films, television shows, and commercials. It remains his highest selling album with 12 million copies sold. Its seventh single, "South Side", featuring Gwen Stefani, remains his only one to appear on the US Billboard Hot 100, reaching No. 14. Moby followed Play with albums of varied styles including electronic, dance, rock, and downtempo music, starting with 18 (2002), Hotel (2005), and Last Night (2008). His later albums saw him explore ambient music, including the almost four-hour release Long Ambients 1: Calm. Sleep. (2016). Moby continues to record and release albums; his twenty-first studio album, Resound NYC, was released in May 2023.
In addition to his music career, Moby is known for his veganism and support for animal rights and humanitarian aid. He was the owner of TeaNY, a vegan cafe in Manhattan, and Little Pine, a vegan restaurant in Los Angeles, and organized the vegan music and food festival Circle V. He is the author of four books, including a collection of his photography and two memoirs: Porcelain: A Memoir (2016) and Then It Fell Apart (2019).

Moby Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I love to move in here [Repeat: x 2]
Break
I love to move here...
I love to move in here [Repeat: x 2]
Okay
Y'all gonna move 'till ya cant no more
The d.j gonna pick up records 'till his hands are sore
The lights are gonna flash
For grand master cash
Gonna kick it to you like you never heard before
The place is here
The time is now
All the fellas say ho
All the ladies say ow.
Put your two hands together
To form a soul clap
And jump back never see you ride the track
It ain't black or white
It's about the beat
If you can't rack the mic
It's about the heat
You say what you're like
When I'm about to speak
And nobody wanna hear you anyway
So keep it moving girl (girl)
So old school taking it back
And we ain't leaving
Till we stop breathing
Even if the music stops
We continue to groove
Nice and smooth
Because we want y'all to move
I love to move here...
I love to move in here
X2
I love to move in here [Repeat: x 7]
Old school takin' it back again [Repeat x 12]
I love to move here...
I love to move in here [Repeat: x 4]
Old school takin' it back again [Repeat: x 8]
I love to move here...
I love to move in here
Moby's "I Love To Move In Here" is a lively, up-tempo dance track that encourages listeners to dance until they can no longer move. The song begins with an infectious synth melody and Moby's repeated "I love to move here... I love to move in here" hook layered over a pounding kick drum. The lyrics of the song use repetitive, chant-like phrases to invite listeners to dance along with the beat.
The second part of the song builds on this invitation to dance. Moby implores the crowd to "put your two hands together to form a soul clap" and "jump back never see you ride the track." He also makes reference to "grand master cash" and other old school hip-hop legends who inspired him to create this track. This nostalgic throwback to classic hip-hop is an important part of the song's appeal.
Overall, "I Love To Move In Here" is a fun and upbeat dance track that celebrates the power of music to bring people together and inspire them to move their bodies. The song's catchy hook and driving beat make it impossible not to dance along, and its nods to old school hip-hop add an extra layer of nostalgia to the experience.

Damn that was a sad movie, I remember it.. good movie tho
@Fiasco6Radio6Show6
So true. Most club scenes are SO badly done it's embarrassing but that was spot on. Joakim Phoenix is possibly the greatest actor of his generation, what a film. Top record.
@hammies.
hahaah joakim
@ranggaleonard454
Who is joakim ?
@qp12qp
Yeah, I too discovered this song in that movie, it was then when I first appreciated both Joakim Phoenix and Moby. I was watching the movie on a 90" projector screen with large speakers at high volume, and the sound in the club scene was so realistic, it was filling the house along with the visuals like I was there... pure ecstasy! Cudos to Gwyneth Paltrow too and to the filmmaker of course, best club scene ever!
