In the Møde is the second studio album by English drum and bass group Roni Size & Reprazent, released on 9 October 2000 on the Talkin' Loud label. The follow-up to the group's 1997 Mercury Music Prize-winning album New Forms, In the Møde featured guest appearances from Method Man, Rahzel and Rage Against the Machine frontman Zack de la Rocha.
Roni Size & Reprazent released their debut album, New Forms, in June 1997 to critical acclaim and commercial success, peaking at number 8 in the UK Album Chart. After winning the 1997 Mercury Music Prize, the group found international fame and became an in-demand live band. Size donated the £25,000 prize money to the Bristol youth centre where he had learned to program a drum machine. Writing for In the Møde began at rehearsals for their live tour, where the band would create new music by jamming using samplers and live instruments. This new music saw Reprazent relying on fewer jazz influences and moving towards a harder hip-hop-influenced sound.
The album was preceded by the release of the single Who Told You on 25 September, which reached number 17 on the UK Singles Chart and was promoted by a music video directed by Hype Williams. The tracks Dirty Beats and Lucky Pressure were also released as singles.
