Genre bending electronic heavy-weights House of Protection comprised of Aric Improta & Stephen Harrison, have just dropped their greatly anticipated second EP โ€˜Outrun You Allโ€™ and we canโ€™t get enough of it! 

Words by David Swarbrick | 23 May, 2025


After the release of their first monster EP โ€˜Galoreโ€™ in September we were treated sooner than expected with a new single in February, โ€˜Afterlifeโ€™, in March โ€˜Fireโ€™ and the start of this month, โ€˜I Need More Than Thisโ€™ just to keep us on our toes. 

These boys have been busy because not only did we get three insane singles, we also got three equally insane music videos co-directed & edited by Aric Improta himself! (If you havenโ€™t already checked these out, where have you been?! YOU MUST).

‘524รฅยงล‚โ‚ฌโ‚ฌ-ยฐ’ leads us in with a rustic vinyl crackle and a mysterious serenade from a female vocalist, introducing us to the journey we are about to embark on; โ€œIโ€™m dreaming in no direction, come and find me in the House of Protectionโ€.

‘Afterlife’ goes HARD. Theyโ€™re back. Soul cutting vocals, hardcore spoken word and industrial dredge, this is a corker of an opener. 

‘Godspeed’ is a smooth like silk bop, gritty and raw all at once. Just wait for the mosh. Jordan Fishโ€™s production is jaw dropping.

‘I Need More Than This’ is a synthy sexy head fuck with a whiplash inducing drop you could headbang all day long to. A polyphonic masterpiece.

‘Fire’ is Pendulum on steroids with that unique HOP angst. Angry and soothing all at once. The bridge has airs of Happy Song by BMTH with chanting school children leading us to a final insane drop. 

‘Phasing Out’ is an intricately layered dancy tune you could lose your mind to, I think I did.

‘Slide Away’ brings us to a close but not lightheartedly. Dirty dirty dredge with screams you could only dream of.

Withย Outrun You All, House of Protection prove theyโ€™re not just riding the wave of hype, they’re steering the ship straight into uncharted territory. Aric Improta and Stephen Harrison have crafted an EP thatโ€™s as cinematic as it is chaotic, as introspective as it is explosive. As they gear up to take on some of the worldโ€™s biggest festival stages, one thingโ€™s clearโ€”House of Protection arenโ€™t just here to play. Theyโ€™re here to outrun us all.

House of Protection for world domination. 

Verdict: ๐Ÿ’€๐Ÿ’€๐Ÿ’€๐Ÿ’€

For fans of: Fever 333, Turnstile, Comeback Kid

Outrun You All is set for release on May 23rd via Red Bull Records.
