’Take Me To Your Body’ is the latest single from Moon Boots’ new album ‘Ride Away’, out March 17 on independent label Anjunadeep. The single is out November 18, and features the golden vocals of longtime collaborator and friend Nic Hanson.

A funk-laden bop with a slower BPM, ’Take Me To Your Body’ is reminiscent of balearic and Italo-disco styles in its warm chords and airy staccato synths. Moon Boots shines through the playfulness of the arrangement, which is elevated by Hanson's delivery of the flirtatious lyrics; "All I want is to feel / The kind of loving that's for real / So baby let me whisper in your ear”.

’Take Me To Your Body’ follows the recent release of ‘Hot Minute’ with Black Gatsby, and ‘Come Back Around’ which featured indie darling Cherry Glazerr. Both have seen extensive support on KCRW, whilst the latter was named ‘Coldest Record’ on BBC Radio 1 and supported by the likes of 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:

“Creating my new album Ride Away helped keep me going through unsteady times and joyous times. This album is about love and connection and being there for each other. My intention is for people to feel free when they hear this album, to get recharged, to be stimulated by something they’ve never heard before.”


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.

Having accrued well over 100 million streams on Spotify alone, and having been championed by the likes of Annie Mac, Diplo, Danny Howard, and The Blessed Madonna, Moon Boots has established himself as a trailblazer of R&B-infused dance music. Having released on legendary French house label French Express, and remixed the likes of Dua Lipa, Robyn, and Nile Rodgers, Dougherty’s production prowess is in high demand, whilst his eclectic DJ sets and live shows (including a full live band) have seen him tour the world, with recent headline shows sold out across North America and Australia, and a full live tour expected in 2023 to celebrate the release of Ride Away.
