The album is a much more dance-oriented release than Moby's previous few albums. Background and recording In October 2006, Moby released his greatest hits compilation ''Go – The Very Best of Moby''. Following its release, he decided to start work on his next studio album, his first since ''Hotel'' in 2005.

Moby was influenced by this idea from living in Manhattan and being exposed to a variety of live dance music, which he wanted to reflect on ''Last Night'': "I wanted to condense that 8 hour going out experience into 65 minutes", The album w ...
