Mobility by Moby

Mobility was where Moby started: his debut single, issued in September 1990, a year after Richard Melville Hall had left the punk bands of his '80s youth behind and moved to New York City to make his name as a DJ, producer and remixer. The title track is stripped-down dance music from a guy still finding out how far a groove could carry him on its own.

The real sleeper was on the flip. "Go" sat on the B-side, and Moby went back to it, remixed it and put it out as his second single in 1991, when it became his breakthrough, cracking the top ten in the Netherlands and the UK. Tracks from the record later turned up on the compilations Instinct Dance and Early Underground, by which point its B-side had already outrun it.
