Kyle Worde chats with Richard Melville Hall, known professionally as Moby, an American musician, songwriter, singer, producer, and animal rights activist. Not only do they touch on the new record, REPRISE itself, but even more so on the emotional journey & 'time portal' of music. “Reprise” is an opportunity for Moby to revisit the musical highlights of his life's work in a completely new way. Together with Hungary's Budapest Art Orchestra, he has re-envisioned some of his most recognizable rave classics and anthems. Some of the new versions are sparser, slower and more vulnerable, while others exploit the bombastic potential an orchestra can offer. Three decades into his career, “Reprise” is less of a Greatest Hits record and more of a chance to reflect on the way in which art can adapt over time to different settings and contexts.

The conversation continues with Season 3. Welcome to #AfterHoursAfrica S3. E2. ft Aidin Caye A brand new South African documentary, The State of the Arts – The Forgotten Industry, released to coincide with World Music Day on 21 June 2021, is a compelling snapshot of the struggles faced by some of the country's entertainment and live-performing artists during the Covid-19 pandemic and the still-ongoing lockdown restrictions. The State of the Arts Director, Adrien Conradie, aka Aidin Caye – DJ and Producer, says he was inspired to undertake the project to showcase the difficulties faced by his colleagues and friends who are reliant on live performances for the majority of their income. “At no point in the last 15 months have nightclubs legally been allowed to operate as they are seen to be high risk for the spread of Covid-19, and as much as the lockdown restrictions have eased as the time has gone by, the ability for our industry to operate has constantly been restricted, with very little support from the government.” A special episode of After Hours Africa Enjoy x
