LOS ANGELES - Not so long ago, Moby, a musician and composer Billboard once named "The King of Techno," was the hippest of downtown New York guys, running a teahouse/vegetarian cafe on his Lower East Side home turf, where he sometimes stopped in to wait tables, headlining at the Bowery Ballroom and going on about soy milk (well, he still talks about soy milk).
