Moby was DJ on DAB station BBC 6 Music yesterday choosing a selection of records to play throughout the day.
His ecclectic choices included
Roxy Music, Suicide, Joy Division, Massive Attack and six
John Peel session tracks.
He kicked off his selections on the
Phill Jupitus Breakfast Show with
Taking Advantage by Echo & the Bunnymen (a Peel session from 1982) followed by
Mother of Pearl by Roxy Music, another Peel session from
PIL and
Staring at the Sun from his chosen album of the day by
TV on the Radio.
On the Gideon Coe Show he played obscure tracks by
Suicide and
Silver Apples citing them as major influences on his early career.
Massive Attack's Karmacoma and
The Buzzcocks Everbodies Happy Nowadays followed on the Nemone Show.
During an interview with Nemone he commented that he would often visit dance clubs like the Dancetaria where Punk, Reggae and Gay music co-existed on the playlist which is what inspired him to experiment with ecclectic styles of music. He talked about singing with bands
Vatigan Commando and
Flipper and his involvement with the American Hardcore scene.
His evening session choices included a BBC session of
Young Savage by Ultravox, Atmosphere by Joy Division and a Peel Show version of
Overground by Siouxsie and the Banshees.
