Nothing Else Matters

RUZE, Danny Howard - Story Of My Life

**RADIO EMBARGO UNTIL 17TH APRIL PLEASE**

Danny Howard links up with RUZE for ‘Story Of My Life’ on Nothing Else Matters - his third release on the label this year and another strong step in his current run.

Following solid support around ‘Knockin’ and ‘After Five’ - including plays from Sarah Story and Arielle Free on BBC Radio 1, alongside support from TCTS and Mark Knight on KISS FM, plus further backing from Sam Divine and Joel Corry - this one leans back into Danny’s classic Tech House sound, paired with RUZE’s funk-led edge. Built around the classic vocal from Copyright’s ‘Story of My Life’, it threads a familiar hook through a tight, rolling groove without overplaying it.

RUZE arrives with real momentum, coming off a Beatport No.1, a headline Radio 1 mix and a run of US dates. ‘Story Of My Life’ feels like a natural link-up, right at home on Nothing Else Matters.
