Moon Boots X Hard Candy: Liftoff Mixtape
Summer isn’t quite over yet…
I’m so excited to present you with our latest mix tape in the Hard Candy X series, this one by Moon Boots! We asked him to create this mix after his first two releases‘Off My Mind’ and ‘Got Somebody.’ On ‘Sugar’ he transformed Janet Jackson‘s ‘If’ into a twinkling r&b tinged disco affair. It’s been a great year of releases from the French Express imprint. A great year.
We’re honored to host his debut mixtape, which includes many tracks we’ve shared on Hard Candy, and more of the latest indie dance gems. We asked him to tell us a bit about the mix, which he’s so expertly woven.
On this mix we will take a journey from your living room to the outer reaches of the solar system, the depths of the sea, and the heart of the jungle, all in the darkened warehouse of your imagination. Along the way we will rendezvous with my French Express comrades Perseus, Isaac Tichauer, Chris Malinchak, and Jonas Rathsman. Get ready to hear some unreleased tracks, familiar classics and (hopefully) new favorites…
Also known for his stunning remix work, his latest of ‘Peanut Butter’ by Alison Valentine introduces the set, and is available for free download right here. The set finishes off with ‘W4W’ – a brand new house piano jam from Jonas Rathsman.

Alison Valentine: Peanut Butter (Moon Boots Remix)
You can always count on Moons Boots to deliver a remarkable remix, and the latest offering is his take on Alison Valentine‘s Peanut Butter. Smooth breathy vocals blend nicely with the tropical sounds resulting in a dreamy mix.
MP3/ Peanut Butter (Moon Boots Remix)
This one has a cute little story to go along with it too…
Back in June when Perseus and Jonas Rathsman and I played Wanderlust in Paris, we met Alison Valentine, a singer and flower girl from NYC. I’ll never forget that she brought flowers to the show… She brought me flowers, I made her a remix…
MP3: Moon Boots ‘Sugar’
Moon Boots samples Janet Jackson classic If on his latest affair, Sugar. It’s a flawless twinkly nu-disco rework if we ever heard one. He recently remixed Headphones for Little Boots, which you can listen to here, along with his other delicious tracks Got Somebody and Off My Mind.
MP3 / Sugar
Make sure to grab the mp3 of ELIOT‘s NA/JET, another fantastic rework of a Janet classic. Hear his take on Love Will Never Do Without You. It’s Janet remix madness!
Just because I can’t resist posting more Janet, enjoy the ‘all dance’ video version of If.
MP3: Moon Boots remixes Little Boots ‘Headphones’
Boots vs. Boots!
Moon Boots works his space-age disco magic on The Knocks produced Headphones, the latest track from Brit pop starlet Little Boots. It’s all worth hitting the 3 minute mark – you can never go wrong with that house piano!
MP3 / Headphones (Moon Boots Remix)
You can grab the Headphones remix EP on iTunes now – it’s jam packed with all kinds of flavors of dance mixes. If you haven’t heard the sweeping Into The Groove inspired extravaganza via Dimitri From Paris you surely must download it right here.
Moon Boots: Got Somebody
We first came across Moon Boots‘ Got Somebody in The Magician‘s glorious mixtape Magic Tape 21. Now much to our delight our friends at French Express are offering up a free download of the track!
If you were into 90s RnB you may recognize the sample of Wayne Wonder’s No Letting Go, but this is infinitely cooler than that track, don’t you agree? Let us know in the comments!
