Moon Boots aka Pete Dougherty has released a new track, ‘I Want Your Attention’ featuring vocals from Australian singer Fiora. The song will serve as the fourth and final single for Moon Boot’s forthcoming debut album, entitled First Landing, which is being released on August 4th on Anjunadeep (“One of the hottest electronic labels in the world” - Hype Machine)

Moon Boots has made quite a name for himself in the underground electronic scene over the past few years. Cutting his teeth in Chicago before moving to Brooklyn, Dougherty was one of the founding members of the influential French Express collective. Joining Anjunadeep in late 2015, Moon Boots has had a number of releases on the label including the cult classic ‘Red Sky’.

First Landing - Moon Boots’ debut LP - will feature several collaborators, including vocalists Diora, Lulu James and Janelle Kroll; as well as producers/artists King Kona, Nic Hanson and Black Gatsby. First Landing is set to be the ninth artist album released by Anjunadeep, and Moon Boots joins Dusky, Lane 8 and Cubicolor as the only artists to release their debut albums on the acclaimed London-based imprint.

With early singles ‘Tear My Heart’ (nominated for ‘Best Track’ in DJ Mag’s Best of North America Awards), ‘The Life Aquatic’ picking up widespread support from BBC Radio 1, SiriusXM, Triple J & KCRW, and ‘Keep The Faith’ premiered by Billboard - First Landing looks set to mark a coming of age for Moon Boots.

Moon Boots is also embarking on a 3 month summer tour across the U.S, in celebration of his debut album. Kicking off on July 8th in Miami, Moon Boots will also be hitting markets such as Brooklyn, Washington DC, Portland, Mexico City, Philly, San Francisco, LA, and Detroit. More info can be found here.

About Moon Boots

When Moon Boots hits the booth, he’s got one mission: to give you the best night of your life. Whether playing at iconic clubs like Chicago’s Smart Bar — where he cut his teeth watching legends like Frankie Knuckles and Derrick Carter — or the world’s biggest festival stages, he gives people a release they’ll remember long after the party’s over.

Born in Brooklyn, Moon Boots’ (birth name: Pete Dougherty) musical obsession started not long after he could walk. 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. Then came college years at Princeton University, where he shelved an Engineering degree to dive into the musical abyss.

Knowing what he was meant to do, 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.

The stars aligned when he had a chance encounter with Perseus, founder of an adventurous new label, French Express. A fellow junkie and fan of French House and R&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.

After moving back to Brooklyn, Dougherty was introduced to the beloved Anjunadeep crew. His relationship with the label and their artists has flourished, leading to his debut album First Landing (out August 4th.) It’s an album where cavernous club music meshes with classical melodies, warm harmonies, and bright and beloved melodic soundscapes riddled with soul.
