Review by Isaac Ferodolin Philip

Bodyrock Promo 1 by Moby: A Big Beat Blast from '99 Alright, let’s talk about Bodyrock Promo 1 by Moby. Released in 1999 under Mute Records, this little gem dives deep into the electronic scene with its big beat and breakbeat vibes. It's not an album you'd listen to for emotional ballads—this is pure energy bottled up in four killer remixes of "Bodyrock." And honestly? That’s all it needs. First off, can we just appreciate the artwork by Ysabel Knyphausen? Super cool, kinda gritty, matches the vibe perfectly. Props to Henrik Bonnevier too for nailing those photos—they give the whole thing that raw UK edge. But let’s get into what really matters: the music. The standout track has gotta be “Bodyrock (Hybrid’s Bodyshock Remix)”. Man, this one hits hard. The opening builds tension like crazy before dropping into this massive wall of sound. You feel every beat punch through your chest. What sticks with me most is how polished yet chaotic it feels—it’s got layers upon layers of synths and samples, but somehow they never clash. Instead, they work together like some kind of musical Jenga tower that refuses to fall over. Honestly, if I could describe this remix as a person, it’d be someone who walks into a party wearing neon sneakers and immediately takes control of the playlist. Iconic. Then there’s “Bodyrock (Rae & Christian Remix)”, which goes in a totally different direction. This one slows things down just enough to let Nikki D’s vocals shine. Her voice adds this sultry, almost hypnotic quality to the track. It’s less aggressive than Hybrid’s version but still packs a punch when the drums kick back in. There’s something addictive about how smooth it feels while still keeping that edgy breakbeat foundation. Like sipping coffee on a rainy morning—it wakes you up without being overwhelming. Moby clearly poured his heart into producing these tracks, and it shows. Credit where it’s due—he wrote, recorded, and produced everything himself. Dude knows how to craft a banger. Plus, having collaborators like Rae & Christian and Hybrid remixing his stuff just elevates the whole project. Each version of “Bodyrock” brings something fresh to the table, making it more than just a promo release—it’s a masterclass in remix culture. So yeah, Bodyrock Promo 1 might not have the mainstream recognition of some of Moby’s other works (Play, anyone?), but it deserves props for showcasing the versatility of big beat and breakbeat styles. Listening to it now feels like stepping back in time to sweaty underground clubs in late '90s London. Here’s the random thought I’ll leave you with: why don’t more artists release mini-albums like this anymore? Just a handful of killer tracks, no filler. Maybe it’s because playlists killed the art of curation—or maybe we’re just too impatient these days. Either way, Bodyrock Promo 1 reminds us that sometimes less really is more. Crank it up loud, and thank me later.

Born: September 11, 1965, Harlem, New York, NY, United States. Great great great grandson of Herman Melville author of Moby Dick. One of electronic music's most visible and talked-about figures, Moby's career comprises many years of work and many musical twists and turns. His career stretches all the way back to early rave and acid-house releases in the late 80s and early 90s as U.H.F. and Voodoo Child, through to his much loved/hated R&B/blues/pop/techno sample cut-ups of today. His most notable tracks from his early days include "Next Is The E

There was a stretch where Olav was pumping out banger after banger. It's a bummer that a lot of people got so burned out on disco/filter house. I still love it.
