Grammy-nominated electronic trio RUFUS DU SOL had been laying low but they’ve officially come out of their shell. They’ve sold more than 70,000 tickets for their upcoming tour and are back with a new single and artificially intelligent music video.
Directed by Osk, the video changes moods with the vibe of the music. Hailing from Australia, RUFUS DU SOL is comprised of Tyrone Lindqvist, Jon George, and James Hunt. They made their debut in 2016 going simply as Rufus but had to change their name when they learned it was already copyrighted in America.
New Music
Back in July, they released “Alive“, their first new song in three years. The new material has started trickling after the recent fall tour announcement that will see them play marquee festivals like Bonnaroo, Austin City Limits, and Gov Ball along with a number of headlining dates.
The concept for the new single “Next To Me” spawned from a live performance by the group at Joshua Tree. They refined the track six months later in their Los Angeles studio and now it’s ready for public consumption.
“We wanted to create something more positive and happy, a kind of homage to the feel-good soul of classic house music. I am sure there is part of this that reflects a feeling in our lives and relationships.”
Jon George

Official Lyrics “Next To Me”
When the lights come down
I want to feel you standing next to me
Can you hear me out
There’s a lifetime in front of me
And when my time runs out
I want to feel you standing next to me
Baby, I knew this time would arrive
I knew this time would come
Ever since I first looked in your eyes
I said you’re the one
Oh my god, oh my god
Tell me I’m the one
Oh my god, oh my god
I want to feel you standing next to me
Late in the evening when the sun comes down
Under the starlight as the birds fly by
I see the dust fill the twilight skies
I feel the warmth of your hand in mine
It’s in the air, it’s in the air
It’s in the air we breathe
It’s all around, it’s all around us now
And when the lights come down
I want to feel you standing next to me
Can you hear me out
there’s a lifetime in front of me
And when my time runs out
I want to feel you standing next to me
Baby, I knew this time would arrive
I knew this time would come
Ever since I first looked in your eyes
I said you’re the one
Oh my god, oh my god
Tell me I’m the one
Oh my god, oh my god
I want to feel you standing next to me
And when the lights come down
I want to feel you standing next to me
