Los Angeles, July 25, 2025 – Ambient music icon Moby, aged 59, has teamed up with 19-year-old Russian producer Øneheart (Dmitry Volynkin) to release the evocative new single “Lagrange Point”.

Øneheart—already acclaimed for his TikTok‑famous ambient hit “Snowfall”, which surpassed 970 million streams—co-produces the track alongside his father, Leadwave, and fellow artist Dean Korso. “Lagrange Point” is the lead single from their upcoming collaborative album Samsara Passengers, scheduled for release on August 22, 2025.

A Unique Creative Partnership

Despite never meeting in person, Moby and Øneheart crafted their duet remotely across 12 time zones. Moby shared:

“As the sun was setting in Los Angeles, Dmitry was working as the sun was rising in Russia… the fact that this quiet, spacious music was traveling instantaneously… created the perfect backdrop”.

Moby lauded the experience as spiritually resonant, remarking that their collaboration defied borders and time differences.

Meanwhile, Øneheart reflected on his journey:

“I still remember sitting in the car with my dad, listening to Moby’s music… Collaborating with him… is an honor… the music that once opened something inside me is now part of the music I create.”

Music Without Politics

This unlikely cross‑generational, cross‑national partnership emerges amid ongoing tensions surrounding Russian culture in the West. Moby addressed the controversy head‑on, stating:

“Politics are not people… Americans are not Trump, Russians are not Putin… musicians are not governments… music reminds us globally that we are not reflected by them.”

Øneheart acknowledged the complexity of his position but stated plainly:

“Politics is for politicians. I’m just making music.”

The Sound of Balance

The title “Lagrange Point” evokes the astronomical concept—a zone of perfect equilibrium between gravitational forces—mirroring the song’s thematic tension between motion and stillness. Dean Korso describes it as a sonic portrayal of spiritual transcendence, evolving from building tension to serene resolution.

Why It Matters

This collaboration signifies more than just a new ambient track: it’s a statement of musical unity in a fractured world. Moby’s willingness to cross borders—both generational and geopolitical—speaks to ambient music’s power as a universal refuge. Øneheart’s rise from “Snowfall” phenomenon to collaborator of a global icon underlines the unexpected potential of quiet, introspective sound in today’s overstimulated music culture.
