The sophomore release on Moby’s new label, always centered at night, brought down the pace and intensified the mood on the gorgeous single from Moby and serpentwithfeet entitled “on air”.

“A majestic new collab” – Stereogum

However, the creative well hasn’t run dry, with always centered at night releasing an additional EP titled on air (versions). On “on air (4am version)”, Moby turns in a deep-house re-rub of his triumphant collab, lifting the original out of its delicate gospel arrangement whilst retaining the towering lead vocal. An experimental musician based in Los Angeles, serpentwithfeet’s characteristic silky neo-soul-inspired voice infuses the song with emotion, which Moby wanted to continue highlighting.

“A gorgeous track that follows serpentwithfeet with handclaps in a dreamy, atmospheric haze” – The Current

“Sometimes with remixes you want to focus on bass lines or synths, but with these ‘on air’ remixes I just wanted to focus on serpentwithfeet’s beautiful vocals,” says Moby.

“It’s a special one” – Annie Mac (BBC Radio 6 Music)

The accompanying video for the “strings version”, directed by Moby and LA-based filmmaker Mike Formanski, captures the beauty of daily life in a cinematic montage juxtaposing nature and moments of quiet contemplation.

“Gorgeous, soulful” – Brooklyn Vegan

Moby launched his new label earlier this year intending to do something uncompromising – to make music that is emotional, atmospheric, and potentially beautiful. With this ethos, the label brought us its debut release “Medusa,” a collaboration between Moby and Grammy-nominated artist and Doja Cat collaborator Aynzli Jones.

“Haunting and soulful and beautiful” – Chris Hawkins (BBC Radio 6 Music)

always centered at night will not be going for a billion streams on Spotify, and there is a constant subtext within the DNA of the label: Moby’s great disdain for what he calls: “our current, fear-driven, algorithmic-based culture.” The label will be a new kind of record label that ignores that idea, completely.

“Smooth as anything” – Jack Saunders (BBC Radio 1)

Moby is a multi-platinum selling, multi-award-winning singer, songwriter, producer, author, and animal rights activist.
