Buy the Ticket, Take the Ride
Hunter S. Thompson famously said, "Buy the ticket, take the ride." It is a philosophy about embracing chaos and commitment. When it comes to the vast, sprawling discography of Moby, that is exactly what you have to do—you have to surrender control and simply let the music dictate the destination.
In this new visual mix, I wanted to capture that distinct sense of unpredictable movement. Moby has always been a fascinating paradox in the electronic world; a master of extreme contrasts who refuses to stay in one lane. He is one of the few producers in history who can seamlessly transport you from a soulful, melancholic ambient soundscape that breaks your heart, straight into a peak-hour warehouse rave anthem that makes your chest rattle, all in the blink of an eye. He blends gospel samples, punk rock energy, and driving techno rhythms into a singular, cohesive voice.
"Buy the Ticket, Take the Ride" is a tribute to that fearless sonic diversity. It serves as an audiovisual trip that demands your full attention, refusing to let you settle into a comfortable background groove. We blend the deep emotional weight of his production with kinetic visuals that mirror those violent genre shifts—keeping the momentum moving forward even when the tempo changes. It’s not just a playlist; it’s an odyssey. Strap in.
