Moby teams-up with Russian teen star for new single
The 59-year-old star joined forces with Øneheart, one of the Russian producers behind Snowfall, the TikTok hit, to record lagrange point, and Moby has admitted to loving the experience of working across borders and timezones with the young star.
He said: "One of my favourite things about collaborating with Øneheart was the fact that as i was working on lagrange point as the sun was setting in Los Angeles, Dmitry was working on it as the sun was rising where he lived in Russia."
Moby - whose real name is Richard Hall - observed that he worked on the track while enjoying the "perfect backdrop" in Los Angeles.
The music star explained: "The fact that this quiet, spacious music was travelling instantaneously through 12 timezones and thousands and thousands of empty miles of air and space somehow created the perfect backdrop for the collaboration."
lagrange point is the lead single for the album Samsara Passengers, which is a collaboration between Øneheart, Dean Korso and Leadwave - Øneheart's dad - along with guest artists.
Moby has already sold more than 20 million records in his career and is credited with helping to bring dance music to a mainstream audience in the 90s.
However, he acknowledged earlier this year that fame and fortune are "two of the most destructive forces on the planet".
Speaking from his home in Los Angeles, Moby told Sky News: "I think fame and fortune are, probably, empirically two of the most destructive forces on the planet. I mean, if fame and fortune fixed things, Kurt Cobain and Amy Winehouse would still be making records.
"I guess it's a very easy system to buy into, especially in a place like... in New York, in Los Angeles, in these big cities that are driven by ostentation and consumption and the need for external validation. It's hard to resist those temptations. But then ... you look at the consequences of that.
"I'd rather try and live a rational life and not necessarily let other people's concerns dictate what my concerns should be."

Queen Mary rushed indoors after shock moment during outing
IN LONDON Queen Mary has been forced to cut short her appearance at a royal walkabout after a painful encounter. The Australian-born monarch, 53, was with her husband, King Frederik, 57, and two of their children – Princess Isabella, 18, and Prince Vincent, 14, greeting locals in Gråsten, Denmark as they kicked off their summer holiday. In footage shared on social media, Mary was seen standing with her family before wincing and touching her leg in distress prompting her husband and children to check on her. Sky News reports that she insisted her family continue with the engagement, while she was whisked away to a nearby hotel. Meanwhile, local media outlet Billed Bladet confirmed she appeared to be OK despite the ordeal. 'The queen certainly did not seem to be badly affected by the encounter with the stinging wasp, and she, together with the king, Isabella and Vincent, made sure to greet the many citizens who had gathered in the square,' the publication reported. The Danish royal family later settled into Gråsten Palace, their summer holiday home for the next few weeks. It's been an intensely busy 18 months for the King and Queen who officially ascended the Danish throne on January 14 last year, after Frederik's mother, Queen Margrethe, abdicated and thus ended her 52-year reign. A short time later, the King released a book, co-authored by royal biographer Jens Anderson, revealing a surprising amount of personal details about the royal couple. 'I love marriage, my wife, our children and the whole happy base that arises for the people who manage to stay together and persevere,' he wrote. He described Mary as his 'partner and wing woman' and praised their 'super dynamic'.

‘End of woke advertising': Sydney Sweeney jeans ad sparks outrage
Sky News contributor Louise Roberts reacts to Sydney Sweeney's new American Eagle jeans campaign, which has sparked outrage. The ad features the actress using a play on words, with many critics claiming it's 'nazi propaganda'. 'The ads aren't offensive, but the comments are. Anyone who is going to use the Nazi word … and not be talking about World War II or the persecution of Jewish people is making a very obscene and offensive statement,' Ms Roberts told Sky News Digital Presenter Gabriella Power. 'It's a play on words, great jeans, you know, denim. Great genes, genetic material, and that's all it is. 'If the spin out is that it's a celebration of the end of woke advertising, I'm all for it because every ad should be promoting the product, not promoting an agenda about diversity or gender.'

Actress Sydney Sweeney's new jeans advert sparks wild claims about it being ‘nazi propaganda'
Actress Sydney Sweeney's new clothing campaign has sparked outrage after the people behind the ad played on the word genes and jeans. The Euphoria star was announced as the face of clothing brand American Eagle's new jeans campaign last Thursday. The advert's tagline is 'Sydney Sweeney has great jeans' with the word 'genes' crossed out. In one of the campaign videos, the 27-year-old actress can been seen zipping up her jeans while lying down. In the voiceover Sweeney says: 'Genes are passed down from parents to offspring, often determining traits like hair colour, personality and even eye colour. My jeans are blue.' The choice of wording and the emphasis on her blonde hair and blue eyes has sparked outrage online with some commenters going as far to claim it had sinister implications. 'Nazi propaganda,' one TikTok user wrote, linking it to the nazis' pursuit of Aryanism — an ideology linked to German racial supremacy where people with blue eyes and blonde hair were superior to others. Commentators slamming the ad campaign are going viral online with people accusing American Eagle of promoting eugenics, 'white supremacy' and linking it to the nazis. 'The most nazi part of the Sydney Sweeney ad for me was the use of the word offspring,' another person wrote on X. 'I like Sydney Sweeney and American Eagle as much as the next guy but 'we must secure the existence of our people and a future for our white children' is a crazy tagline for selling jeans,' another commented. The emphasis on genes is carried out across the entire campaign. In one part of the advert, Sweeney, dressed in full denim, is standing in front of a billboard for the campaign which reads 'Sydney Sweeney has great genes'. She then runs a brooms over it and in the next frame the word 'genes' has been crossed out and replaced with 'jeans'. The post on American Eagle's Instagram account has been flooded with comments from people sharing their disdain for the campaign. 'Welp, no longer shopping at AE ever again, and neither will my future children,' one person commented. 'What in the white is this?,' said another. CNBC, a partner publisher of reached out to Sweeney for comment. A representative for the actress declined to comment. American Eagle did not respond to a request for comment. In May, Sweeney confirmed she was single, after months of speculation that she and her fiancé Jonathon Davino had split up. 'I'm learning a lot about myself, spending more time with my friends. And I'm loving it, ' she told The Times. On July 22, Sweeney posted a picture of herself in character for her new movie Christy, set to be released in September.
