Now Moon Boots serves up ‘First Landing’ – an ambitious 10 track LP showcasing his impressive range as a producer, seamlessly blending classic US house sounds with funk and soul influences, expansive electronica, sun-kissed R&B and moody dancefloor energy.
Featuring seven collaborators, including notable guest appearances from Fiora, Lulu James and Janelle Kroll, the album also sees Dougherty working with fresh talent in King Kona, Nic Hanson and Black Gatsby.
With early singles ‘Tear My Heart’ (nominated for ‘Best Track’ in DJ Mag’s Best of North America Awards) and ‘The Life Aquatic’ picking up widespread support from BBC Radio 1, SiriusXM, Triple J and KCRW, along with press coverage from Billboard and Mixmag, ‘First Landing’ looks set to mark a coming of age for Moon Boots.
‘First Landing’ is set to be the ninth artist album to be released on Anjunadeep, an A&R hotbed celebrated for the release of debut LPs from Dusky, Cubicolor, Lane 8, Moon Boots. With over 300 single releases and a string of iTunes #1 albums and compilations under its belt, the label has distinguished itself as one of the scene’s leading imprints, earning glowing coverage everywhere from Resident Advisor to Pitchfork, whilst receiving heavy support on BBC Radio 1 from Annie Mac, Pete Tong, B.Traits and Phil Taggart.

Summary
Moon Boots album First Landing is an excellent example of futuristic electronic house that combines great infectious grooves, original drum programming, deep dark basslines with jazzy ambient touches in order to come up with an album that is travelling, inspiring and simply impossible to ignore. From the tracks released so far and the album sampler on offer is not hard to find moments that will make you recall house classics and dance the night away like we used to do. Even in the digital age that music is everywhere you can discover albums that make you go OHH YEAHH! #PureGold Love iT10.0
