Voodoo Child is an on-again, off-again alias for <a href="spotify:artist:3OsRAKCvk37zwYcnzRf5XF">Moby</a> (<a href="spotify:artist:3OsRAKCvk37zwYcnzRf5XF">Richard Melville Hall</a>), who uses the name for singles and albums that are closer to traditional techno than his usual cross-cultural genre experiments. The nom de plume first appeared on the Voodoo Child 12" single in 1991, the tracks from which later appeared on <a href="spotify:artist:3OsRAKCvk37zwYcnzRf5XF">Moby</a>'s Instinct Dance Compilation. The Demons/Horses 12", which featured two 20-minute dancefloor epics, was released in 1994, followed the next year by the pulsing deep house of the Higher single. Voodoo Child's first full-length release was quite a departure; instead of the heavy dance beats of the singles, 1996's The End of Everything was a spacy and melodic trance record featuring the single Dog Heaven. (The belated U.S. issue of this album was credited both to Voodoo Child and <a href="spotify:artist:3OsRAKCvk37zwYcnzRf5XF">Moby</a> on the front cover to attract <a href="spotify:artist:3OsRAKCvk37zwYcnzRf5XF">Hall</a>'s growing fan base outside of traditional dance music listeners.) The Voodoo Child alias was then retired for several years, until <a href="spotify:artist:3OsRAKCvk37zwYcnzRf5XF">Hall</a> resurrected it in 2003 for a pair of 12" singles, Take It Home/Strings and Light Is in Your Eyes/Electronics, inspired by a nostalgic desire to create new work in the style of the club music of his early years. Released in 2004, the full-length Baby Monkey continued with that unapologetically retro vibe. ~ Stewart Mason, Rovi
