The ten-track LP will land on March 17th on Anjunadeep. The first single, ?Hot Minute? featuring Black Gatsby, is out today.  Written and produced over a nearly two-year period beginning in early 2021, ?Ride Away? contains themes of love, companionship, and personal exploration. Hauling in a crate?s worth of musical influences,  Moon Boots has imbued ?Ride Away? with his characteristic blend of soul, disco, and house music, whilst also introducing the sounds of synthpop, breakbeats, and psychedelica. Marrying these eclectic styles is part and parcel of Moon Boots? idiosyncratic sensibility, honed through years of living and DJing in Chicago, the birthplace of house music, and in the musical melting pot of Brooklyn.  ?Hot Minute? is the first single and features the vocals of longtime collaborator Black Gatsby. With a sassy chorus that echoes Anderson .Paak and Sylvester with a gospel-inflected breakdown, ?Hot Minute? shows off the full range of Black Gatsby?s talents and his unique musical rapport with Moon Boots. This bop is a tantalising taste of what Dougherty has been up to in the studio.   ?Hot Minute? follows the recent release of ?Come Back Around? which featured indie darling Cherry Glazerr. The summer anthem was named ?Coldest Record? on BBC Radio 1 and supported by the likes of KCRW, Triple J, and SiriusXM.   ?Ride Away? follows in the footsteps of Moon Boots?s debut ?First Landing? (2017) and sophomore album ?Bimini Road? (2019). With an impressive catalogue atypical of the dance world, Dougherty?s third album represents both his tenacity and evolution as a producer and songwriter. The writing process was met with many difficult but rewarding experiences; creative bursts were balanced with instances of anxiety and self-doubt, yet Dougherty found the music writing process invigorating and cites his wife?s continual support and incoming firstborn daughter as encouraging him to move forward. Of course, more time in the studio allowed Dougherty to experiment with new creative processes (and mind-altering methods) over the course of the album?s formation.   Featuring a swathe of colourful vocalists including the likes of Cherry Glazerr, Dope Earth Alien, and Nic Hanson, ?Ride Away? celebrates Dougherty?s longstanding affinity for collaboration, fun effervescent songwriting, and dance-focused production. Other international artists on the album include French singer Praa and Norwegian band Ora The Molecule, whilst longtime collaborators Ross Clark (St. Lucia) and Steven Klavier feature as writers and instrumentalists on the record, rounding out a global ensemble of incredible talent.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Anjunadeep","offers":[{"title":"LP","offer_id":50477369557323,"sku":"2011142","price":27.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0867\/1120\/6219\/files\/test_403cfb36_thumbnail_4096.jpg?v=1727470959"},{"product_id":"bimini-road","title":"Bimini Road","description":"\u003cp\u003eMoon Boots a.k.a Pete Dougherty returns with his second studio album Bimini Road via Anjunadeep.

His early love of piano lead to a passion for keyboards and synthesizers. Teenage nights lost in the work of Daft Punk, A Tribe Called Quest and Herbie Hancock followed. Inspired by legends like Frankie Knuckles and Derrick Carter, he moved to the house music epicenter of Chicago, where he tirelessly passed out demos to local DJs and scoured the web for like- minded people with whom he could share and expand on his sound. He played in a synth- pop trio whose demo caught the attention of Lupe Fiasco, and after a stint touring alongside the hip-hop icon, Dougherty went back to DJing with a renewed focus.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe stars aligned when he had a chance encounter with Perseus, founder of an adventurous label, French Express. A fellow junkie and fan of French House and R\u0026amp;B-infused dance music, Perseus became a friend and mentor, the Splinter to Boots' Donatello. The label eventually disbanded but Boots has stayed true to his mission of making dance tracks that can’t be confined to one style. Pete blends the music he loves - jazz, house, funk and soul - into songs that last longer than their runtime. Songs not just for DJs, but for everyone.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"No Label","offers":[{"title":"CD","offer_id":50866700878155,"sku":"1070291","price":12.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"LP","offer_id":50866701238603,"sku":"1070292","price":27.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0867\/1120\/6219\/files\/5ab62d03-db50-4df7-ad08-77aa28ec571a_thumbnail_4096.jpg?v=1732106949"}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0867\/1120\/6219\/collections\/test_fc2dc1d2_thumbnail_4096_d3be8767-3bac-4ea1-872a-f5bbb60f715d.jpg?v=1727470940","url":"https:\/\/shop.roughtrade.com\/collections\/moon-boots.oembed","provider":"Rough Trade","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
