Rules Unveils a New Creative Peak with His Transcendent ‘As Soon As I Get Home’ EP
Marking a pivotal new chapter, multi-instrumentalist and producer Rules unveils his highly anticipated project, blending a fusion of electronic production with live instrumentation
UK-based multi-instrumentalist and producer Rules returns with his latest EP As Soon As I Get Home, a six-track body of work that marks a defining moment in his artistic progression. Released via Counter Records, the project sees Rules continuing to refine his signature blend of warm, atmospheric house and emotionally driven songwriting, balancing subtlety with scale.
Written across a period of transition, As Soon As I Get Home explores themes of memory, movement and connection, capturing the quiet tension between solitude and togetherness. It builds on the momentum of recent singles while offering a cohesive and immersive listening experience, rooted in both dancefloor energy and introspection.
Speaking on the project, Rules explains “The title of the EP represents a journey, and all the pensive and nostalgic thoughts that tie together in its duration. Produced for calm long drives, sunsets with friends, road trips, solo commuting journeys and late night walks, I drew together a mix of acoustic instruments, pianos/ Wurlitzers keyboards, synthesisers to bring out organic textures alongside nostalgic synth leads and pads. The vocals featured on the EP took the lead and the writing process was always about trying to draw the raw emotion from their unique voices.”
Opening the project is ‘Could Have Been So Good (feat. Bandit)’, a tender, building melodic dance ballad grounded by emotive keys and a pulsating bassline, followed by the title track ‘As Soon As I Get Home (feat. SHYA)’, which carries forward its predecessor’s driving keys and features close collaborator SHYA, whose vocals sit front and centre, acting as the EP’s emotional anchor. Accompanying the track, is the visualiser for ‘As Soon As I Get Home’, self-directed by Rules and a further showcase of the multi-faceted creative vision behind the new project.
Rules’ As Soon As I Get Home EP arrives off the back of a strong run of live performances, including a sold-out EU/UK tour including dates in Glasgow, Manchester, Amsterdam, Dublin and a headline London show at Village Underground. These performances have further cemented his reputation for translating introspective recordings into powerful shared experiences on the dancefloor.
