Moloko were an Anglo-Irish electronic/dance duo consisting of Róisín Murphy from Wicklow, Republic of Ireland and Mark Brydon, from Sunderland, England.

The band’s name originates from the novel A Clockwork Orange by Anthony Burgess, in which it means either “milk” (the name of a milk drink Alex and his ‘droogs’ consume, and the Russian word for milk) or “method of narcotic ingestion”. (Fellow electronic Sheffield band Heaven 17 had also taken their name from the novel when they formed in 1980.)

History of band:

Róisín Murphy was born in Dublin, and had no prior professional experience as a singer. Mark Brydon already had an extensive resumé within the dance music community as a remixer and member of pop/house acts House Arrest and Cloud 9. They met at a party in Sheffield in 1995, when Murphy approached Brydon using the chat-up line, “Do you like my tight sweater? See how it fits my body!” This line would later become the title of their debut album, recorded while the pair were dating.

The first two albums Do You Like My Tight Sweater? and I Am Not a Doctor gained notice in the underground dance scene. The band broke into the mainstream when

Sing It Back, an album track from I Am Not A Doctor, was remixed by house music producer Boris Dlugosch. The track was a massive hit in Ibiza, and this remixed version broke into the top-five of the UK singles chart in 1999, helped by a psychedelic video featuring the attractive Murphy in a very short metallic “flapper” dress and cap. “Sing It Back” was eventually featured on 110 music compilations.
