This summertime, I finally had the pleasure of meeting in person my Italian friend Manu - the founder of MobyNews, the largest unofficial Moby fansite. We spent some unforgettable days rambling around Athens, sharing stories, and topping it all off with an epic night at Release Festival, where The Prodigy absolutely tore the place down.
Amidst all the fun, I also had the chance to sit down with Manu for a brief but insightful interview, which is featured in this special tribute show at Aaja Radio on behalf of Moby's 60th birthday (it's on 11th September 2025). The show opens with my own glowing selection of some personal fav early rave records from little idiot followed by an exclusive guest mix curated by Manu (a.k.a. MobyNews) himself.
"I started the MobyNews project in early 2011 and it quickly became one of the best places for fans to gather information about the bald musician. The YouTube channel in particular is really appreciated thanks to the instrumentals I personally made with Logic Pro and hard to find material. I had many concepts in mind for this mix: I started with the idea to play only rare and unreleased music but I quickly moved to something much more fast and old-school-oriented. In the end I decided to play a selection of, at least in my opinion, hidden gems mixed with instrumentals and unreleased music. I’m very content with the final result even if I made a couple of happy mistakes during transitions, and I hope Moby and electronic music fans will enjoy my mix as much as I do." - Words by Manu MobyNews
