Diamond - Klint

The song ‘Lie Down In Darkness’ is named after a William Styron book, and the song, at least for me is a very emotional, sort of mournful, piece of symphonic, electronic music, my friend Joy Malcolm sings on it. 

Right before he died I got to hear William Styron speak at a Paris review dinner, he read from Lie Down In Darkness, I was watching him read and it was beautiful and emotional. I remember looking around to see if anyone else was having the same reaction I was having, and I looked around and it was all this jaded, cynical New Yorkers who were checking their blackberries or their iphones, and not paying attention. It made me so disappointed. I was thinking, here is William Styron, who is this remarkable writer and he is sort of bearing his soul and you could tell he didn’t have much longer to live and most of the people were not paying attention. But I feel really fortunate that I got to see him and meet him right before he died.

“Normally when people refer to a void, it's a big, dark, scary, thing – the dark, malicious, Nietzschean void, where if you stare too long into the it, it stares back into you. But we like the paradox of a pacific, peaceful void – a benign emptiness.” Moby & The Void Pacific Choir

After Moby remixed Monkey Safari’s Walls last year, the dark German duo return the favour for the Void Pacific Choir with a furious techno twist on the original. Aussie house head, Lo’99 juxtaposes bassy house surges with the enigmatic vocals over thudding beats. The ominous mood is continued by Acid Washed, who inject a sophisticated Kraftwerkian edge into the void.  For his own version, Moby pushes Los Angeles to the forefront of an exhilarating piano-led big room edit whilst Alexaert, formerly of French duo Beataucue, lends a thrilling French touch feel to his version.
