MIAMI,
FL. (www.ultramusicfestival.us) - As the sun sets over downtown
Miami's Bayfront Park and the world's best DJs continuously spin the
best electronic music from 11 am � 12 am, Moby will headline the main
stage at Ultra
Music Festival 7 while introducing his new album
'Hotel'. Ultra
Music Festival 7 will serve as the official closing
ceremony for the 20th anniversary of the Winter
Music Festival on
Saturday, March 26.
One of the most diverse musicians to make
a name for himself in the last 15-years, Moby continues to push the
boundaries and make music on his terms as he takes his fans on one of
the most unique journeys with his legendary sounds. As the headlining
performer at Ultra
Music Festival 7, Moby will seize the stage with his
live five-piece band for the first time in over two years. Celebrating
the release of his latest album 'Hotel' on V2 records on March 22, Moby
certainly continues his tradition of making beautifully eclectic
records.
Moby continues to evolve as an artist as he has made
dance, rock, heavy metal and ambient records as well as writing
classical music for movies. He has a passion for music and sounds that
continue to amaze fans all around the world, allowing him to have
platinum albums in almost every country in the western world. Moby is
an accomplished producer and re-mixer and has worked with
David Bowie,
Metallica, Beastie Boys,
Aerosmith and New Order. He has sung duets
with some of the most accomplished musicians such as Elton John, Bono,
Michael Stipe,
Lou Reed and many others.
Having performed all
over the world, Moby has DJed in small clubs and has headlined
Glastonbury for 125,000 people. Playing punk rock music in tiny bars in
Germany to performing for an audience of 2 billion people for the
closing ceremonies of the Olympics, Moby has without a doubt had one of
the diverse careers in contemporary music.
Moby's first solo
release 'Go' was released in 1991 and Rolling Stones' named it one of
the top 200 records of all times. With his major success and ability to
create sounds for the masses, he has continuously made music by his own
terms. Moby still records all of his music in his bedroom and has
always played every instrument on every album, except for the live
drums and still does all the production.
His new album, 'Hotel'
provides listeners with many various forms of music. Ranging from quiet
instrumentals ('Hotel Intro' and 'Homeward Angel') to anthems
('Spiders' and 'Lift Me Up'), to uplifting elctro-disco ('Very') to
ballads ('Forever'). Moby sings on almost every song on this album.
Whereas Moby's past records have relied heavily on samples, this record
is actually completely sample-free.
