Dave Pearce Dance Anthems - 05/07/2009

Dave is joined by dance music superstar Moby for a special edition of Dance Anthems. Moby - also known as Richard Melville Hall - has been a pioneer in the dance world for 25 years, from 1992's rave anthem Go; to 1999's seminal chillout album Play which sold over 9 million records worldwide; and his foray into modern club music with 2008's Last Night. Moby talks to Dave about his eclectic career, reminiscing about life on the early 90s New York dance scene and playing records which have influenced and inspired him, including Kevin Sauderson, Sabrina Johnston and Cabaret Voltaire. He also tells Dave about the genesis of his new album Wait For Me, and how after a long period of disenchantment with house music, he rediscovered his love of the genre. There's also an excerpt from his 2008 Essential Mix which was recorded at the Miami Winter Music conference and first broadcast on BBC Radio 1 in 2008.
