Defected Records unveils a dynamic collaboration with “Natural Blues,” merging the creative forces of Moby, BLOND:ISH, and Kiko Franco. The track reimagines a timeless classic through modern house energy and collaborative spontaneity.
“I never met him, just idolized him since I was a kid,” says BLOND:ISH of Moby. “He asks: ‘Wanna remix one of my songs?’… before we knew it, the remix turned into a collab.”
For Kiko Franco, the creative process highlighted their shared strengths. “We worked on the track remotely… It perfectly showcases how all of our strong points came together.”
Franco’s unique style blends Afro House percussion with progressive builds, delivering an immersive drop beneath Moby’s haunting samples. BLOND:ISH adds: “It felt special.”
The track is not only a collaboration of sound but vision—rooted in global connection and mutual admiration. From BLOND:ISH’s genre-fluid sets and activism to Franco’s Brazilian roots and Moby’s enduring legacy, “Natural Blues” encapsulates modern dance culture’s international pulse.
