Moby's sixth studio album, "Last Night," will be released March 10 on Mute Records with contributions from several unusual guests.
Among them are Grandmaster Caz, the Bronx rapper whose "Rapper's Delight" became a pioneering hip-hop hit for The Sugarhill Gang, and singer Sylvia G of Kudu, an underground New York dance duo you may have read about in Newsday back in 2005.
"It's a lot more dance oriented and electronic than my last few albums, probably as a result of all of the dj'ing i've been doing lately," Moby wrote in an all-lowercase statement. He also said of Caz, "He's been rapping since 1975, and i'm really happy to have him on the record."
Other guests include the Nigerian hip-hop group 419 Crew and the British artist MC Aynzli.
