1993: The Jon Spencer Blues Explosion – O’Cayz Corral, Madison, WI, US

1995: Moby – Into The Blue – released in the UK

Features the Jon Spencer ‘Into The Blues’ remix of Into The Blue.

“Moby released “INTO THE BLUE” taken from his critically acclaimed debut (studio) album “EVERYTHING IS WRONG” on June 19th 1995.

‘INTO THE BLUE” is a return to a more ethereal, elegiac sounding Moby and is electrified by the angelic, soaring vocals of former Hugo Largo singer Mimi Goese.

Fellow New Yorker and Moby mate Jon Spencer – he of The Jon Spencer Blues Explosion – contributes a radical blues-soaked remix. “I love it – it’s so bad, it’s good,” laughs Moby. Apparently instead of taking a fee Moby traded mixes with Spencer. “The mix I did for him is really strange; it’s like the outro to a bombastic Led Zeppelin record.”” – Mute.com
