The duo have also partnered with gen D&B producers Bou, Mozey and Hedex, what started as a passion project for the duo, has ended up dominating the UK Charts. Continuing this success Chase & Status have recently just achieved their first ever UK Number One with their highly anticipated Stormzy collaboration ‘Backbone’.
This incredible new music lands in the wake of ‘What Came Before’. Chase & Status’s sixth studio album which charted #4 in the official UK album chart.Consisting of 13 tracks, ‘What Came Before’ distilled 15 years of unparalleled experiences into a bold, invigorating album; informed by global tours, sold out headline shows, five albums, multiple awards including their recent 2024 Brit Award win for Producer Of The Year, chart success, underground kudos, top tier collaborations and remixes, and, above all else, that unwavering dance floor energy that remains as tangible and transformative now as it has since the very beginning.
For these trailblazers making music is a constant process of regeneration and refinement that comes full circle, and their new music further highlights their inimitable presence in the UK electronic music scene. With an awe-inspiring 2 billion streams, Chase & Status show no signs of slowing down.
