Hayden James & Bob Moses – Do You Want Me (Original Mix)
Australian artist Hayden James and Canadian duo Bob Moses have teamed up for the first time on a perfect summertime house song called “Do You Want Me”. A driving bassline, warm synths, and signature Bob Moses vocals are used in their first collaboration together. The track was put out on Future Classic, a record label launched in 2014 with offices in Los Angeles and Sydney.
“I’ve spent most of the year writing in the studio and I’m so excited to finally share my first release of the year with you all,” says Hayden James. “Tom, Jimmy (Bob Moses) and I got together just a handful of times to write ‘Do You Want Me’. This record came together so quickly. We instantly had a vibe together and just had fun in the studio. The song feels like a great representation of both of us. It’s definitely a dream collab for me. I hope you love it.”
“We’ve known Hayden for a bit, and of course have been aware of his work since well before he gave us his killer mix of our track ‘Back Down’ (which we still play all the time btw),” shares Bob Moses. “We had thought about working together before but somehow never got around to it. But just like that, the window opened and this track quickly came to life out of a few sessions in LA. Hayden is a lovely guy, and we had fun with the process. Hope ya enjoy.”
Earlier this year, Los Angeles based Hayden James caught my attention with his remix of “The Last Goodbye” by ODESZA featuring Bettye Lavette. He will be playing at HARD Summer in Los Angeles which will take on Saturday August 5 and Sunday August 6, in addition to supporting ZHU during his The Grace Tour 2023 stop at the Hollywood Palladium on Thursday November 9, Friday November 10, and Saturday November 11.
Vancouver natives Tom Howie and Jimmy Vallance are former high school classmates who started their project in 2012 after reconnecting in a Lowe’s parking lot in New York City. In August 2020, they released a six track set called “Desire”. They will be playing at Interstellar in Los Angeles on Saturday August 19, as well as supporting ODESZA during their The Last Goodbye Tour 2023 at Acrisure Arena in Palm Desert on Wednesday September 20 and at North Island Credit Union Amphitheatre in San Diego on Thursday September 28 and Friday September 29.
