A towering figure in dance music; the enigmatic artist did much to bring techno into the mainstream.
Moby was one of the most controversial figures in techno music, alternately praised for bringing a face to the notoriously anonymous electronic genre, as well as being scorned by hordes of techno artists and fans for diluting and trivializing the form. Not only did his music differ from the norm in electronica, but so did his lifestyle; Moby was infamous for his devout, radical Christian beliefs, as well as his environmental and vegan activism. His 1991 hit "Go" established him as one of the premier techno producers, and his 1999 album Play made him a genuine pop star. ~ Stephen Thomas Erlewine
