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’.
