Moby

Ian Watson, Sunday Herald, May 2002

FROM THE OUTSIDE, Moby Mansions looks like any other whitewashed townhouse in upmarket west London. Walk a little too quickly and you'd pass it without thinking. Once inside, the first room you come to is a white cube containing a wooden trellis bearing a six by six square of freshly picked orchids. The main atrium is a tasteful blend of discreet technology and old world tradition – much like the 36-year-old DJ himself. There are no visible doors. Much too vulgar.
