What happens when one of dance music’s most iconic figures gives you free rein to remix any track from his catalog? If you’re BLOND:ISH, you follow your instincts and go straight for the heart. The result? A reimagined version of Moby’s legendary “Natural Blues” that sprints directly towards the dance floor.
Out now on Defected Records, BLOND:ISH’s fresh take on the brilliant 25-year-old tune — made in collaboration with Brazilian Afro house all-star Kiko Franco — injects turbocharged piano house energy into the timeless original. Listen below.
The remix came to life after Moby unexpectedly reached out to BLOND:ISH with an open invitation to reinterpret any of his songs. They’d never even met, but their shared passion for music, sustainability, animal rights, and mental well-being made the connection feel all the more natural.
Staying true to the soul of the original while layering in hypnotic rhythms and lush textures, BLOND:ISH delivers a version tailor-made for golden hour in Ibiza — where she’s currently making history as the first woman to headline a residency at Pacha.
BLOND:ISH & Kiko Franco's remix of Moby's “Natural Blues” is out now via Defected. Buy it on Beatport.
