Artist Biography

Chase & Status are the London‑bred electronic production powerhouses — comprised of Saul “Chase” Milton and Will “Status” Kennard — whose trailblazing fusion of drum & bass, jungle, dubstep, and grime has reshaped the sonic architecture of British dance music over the past two decades. After meeting in Manchester in the early 2000s and immersing themselves in underground rave culture, the duo broke through with their critically acclaimed 2008 album More Than Alot, a technically meticulous project that paired breakneck D&B rhythms with heavyweight collaborations and chart‑topping singles like “Pieces,” propelling them from pirate‑radio notoriety to mainstream recognition; they followed with genre‑expanding albums No More Idols and Brand New Machine that integrated hip‑hop, reggae, and rock influences without diluting their bass‑driven core. Their production mastery — blending precise sound design, layered percussion, and cross‑genre sampling — has earned them awards, international chart success, high‑profile collaborations with artists such as Rihanna, Stormzy, and Tinie Tempah, and a reputation for electrifying festival and club performances that continually push the boundaries of electronic music.
