Chase And Status Release Their Highly Anticipated Sixth Studio Album

Last month, Chase and Status returned to the limelight unveiling their chart-scaling and ethereal new single “Mixed Emotions”, a song which they went on to perform at a sold-out headline album launch show at KOKO, Radio One’s Big Weekend, and a plethora of sensational live events, including their forthcoming London headline live set at Electric City.

“Mixed Emotion” followed the hard-hitting and trailblazing singles “When It Rains” ft. BackRoad Gee, complete with a Jack McMullen starring, Hector Dockrill-directed cinematic visual and the addictive smash “Don’t Be Scared” ft. Takura.

Today, the duo have reached the release of their sixth studio album, What Came Before, out now. Created by Crown & Owls, the accompanying artwork captures a truly special and magnetic live moment; a pure moment of rave energy with no technology to skew the view.

Consisting of 13 tracks, What Came Before distills 15 years of unparalleled experiences into a bold, invigorating sixth album; informed by global tours, sold out headline shows, five albums, multiple awards, 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. This pure, unadulterated exhilaration is the glue that binds all of these experiences together, cultivating a legacy of positive vibes, unforgettable moments and the continued progression of British club culture.

For trailblazers Chase and Status, the story is cyclical - a constant process of regeneration and refinement that comes full circle. Everything that came before, from their inception point to now, has brought them back to their essence.
