Moby, BLOND:ISH, and Kiko Franco Unveil New 'Natural Blues' Remix

Moby has joined forces with BLOND:ISH and Kiko Franco, alongside vocalist Jacob Lusk, to deliver an electrifying 2026 version of 'Natural Blues,' released under Defected Records. This fresh take on the iconic track comes on the heels of an unforgettable moment at Coachella earlier this year. During his set, Moby surprised the audience by inviting Lusk to perform an acoustic rendition of the 1999 classic, igniting a wave of enthusiasm for a dance-ready version that has now been realized.

The original version of 'Natural Blues' first graced Moby's seminal album 'Play.' It famously sampled Vera Hall's a cappella 'Trouble So Hard,' a defining element of the electronica landscape in the late 1990s. The new remix preserves the haunting vocal essence of the original while retooling its arrangement to fit the contemporary club scene. BLOND:ISH contributes her signature sun-soaked Ibiza house vibes, while Kiko Franco infuses the track with lively, Latin-inspired percussion. Lusk’s soulful lead provides a fresh emotional depth, creating a modern anthem that resonates with both long-time fans and newcomers.

Interestingly, this is not the first reimagined version of 'Natural Blues' by the trio; they previously released a remix in 2025. However, the electrifying Coachella performance with Jacob Lusk on vocals played a pivotal role in revitalizing interest in the track. The new release includes the single mix coupled with a visually appealing music video and an extended club version designed for maximum dancefloor impact during peak hours.

Moby's latest endeavor comes during an exciting phase in his career, highlighted by a recent homage to UK rave culture at his emotional headline show in Brighton. At the same time, BLOND:ISH continues to expand her influence in Ibiza, engaging with community projects and solidifying her presence in the dance music scene. The 2026 version of 'Natural Blues' is now available for streaming on all major platforms, promising to captivate audiences worldwide.

As the demand for this new rendition surges, it officially marks a new chapter for ‘Natural Blues,’ bridging the gap between eras of electronic music while honoring its rich cultural history.
