'Holding On' Gregory Porter x Rules

Monday 2nd February 2026

Release date: 23/01/2026 Label: Fontana

To mark the 10th anniversary of Take Me To The Alley, Gregory Porter’s Grammy-winning  jazz album, electronic producer Rules delivers a warm, immersive remix of “Holding On”. 

Known for his ability to reimagine timeless records through a modern electronic lens, Rules approaches “Holding On” with deep respect for the original’s emotional core. Built around a Wurlitzer-led groove and Gregory Porter’s unmistakable vocal, the remix unfolds gradually, layering piano, percussion, bass and organic textures to create a subtle but powerful sense of lift. 

Rather than reinventing the song, Rules translates its intimacy and soul into a euphoric, groove-focused space, preserving the warmth and humanity that made the original so enduring. The result is a refined, emotional remix that bridges classic soul and contemporary electronic music; equally at home on the dancefloor or in reflective listening moments. 

Electronic producer Rules, known for his warm, soulful take on modern dance music, reworks Gregory Porter’s “Holding On” for the 10th anniversary of Take Me To The Alley. Built around Gregory Porter’s iconic voice, the remix feels like an effortless match : emotional, groove-led and organically uplifting. 

Rules is a multi-instrumentalist, producer and electronic music artist from the East Midlands (UK) recognised for his mix of warm, ethereal sounds combined with classic house influences. His songs have amassed over 70 million streams to date.
