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).

Anybody else just being in awe how awesome this song is in a musical way?? He sings the same line, in the same tune, over and over again and it doesn't get boring. Just adding different components in the background.
@Bwall12493
Well, he doesn't sing it, it's a sample

One of the first albums I owned.
I wasn't a fan when I first heard this song back in 99' - 2000, but listening to this over 23 years later I'm like, "HOLY SHIT THIS IS FANTASTIC".
@amandawolfgram6584
One of my all time favorite songs. I went to a Moby concert probably 15 years ago at the Paramount theater in Seattle. Shockingly there was a small turnout. Which meant I could get close to the stage. He popped around the stage playing every instrument. Will never that.
@BicyclePhil
Me too….Warfield Theater, San Francisco….awesome show….Play!!
