MOBY’S TOP 15 SONGS ABOUT DEBAUCHERY IN NYC
Moby’s reputation in the rave scene has always been that of a ‘vegan pacifist’ who lives a ‘super-clean’ lifestyle. But the funny thing, the prolific artist explains, “before I got involved in the rave scene, I drank all the time. And then I stopped. So I had this reputation for being very ‘clean-living’ when I hadn’t been for a very long time. In the late 90s, I did everything: after-show parties every night, tons of drugs, tons of alcohol, tons of degeneracy.” Moby seems to be a pro on the topic of degeneracy, and being an NYC local, what better candidate to curate this list?
