Following 'More Than Alot', 'No More Idols', 'Brand New Machine' and the 'London Bars EP', Chase & Status will release their fourth studio album in 2016.

First single 'Control' featuring Slaves on vocals will premiere on February 23rd and will be released the following day.

Major hype as ever for these guys. Unbelievably consistent with their albums so far unlike a lot of dance acts..

Very Prodigy-esque imo. Not a bad tune though!

Posted by: Dobbo Feb 23 2016, 09:54 PM

The vocals are extremely in-your-face, but overall I'm quite liking it! No strangers to changing up their sound so credit again there, this could be a real grower.

Posted by: Steve201 Feb 23 2016, 11:15 PM

Haven't heard it yet but no surprise the vocals are in your face with Slaves featuring!

NRG (feat. Novelist) will premiere tonight on 1Xtra during Mistajam's show.

^Well what a load of crap that was^ law of diminishing returns for another band it seems...

Posted by: lewistgreen Apr 1 2016, 07:35 PM

I quite like it! The production is on point. Novelist is a bit meh though.

Posted by: TICH STAN Apr 2 2016, 10:04 AM

NRG is great, I'm a big fan of Novelist so I was looking forward to giving this a listen and it impressed me - not as good as Control though.

Hope there are more tracks like that on the album.

Posted by: danielG Apr 3 2016, 11:02 AM

I'm not loving either of these. Will probably give the album a pass.

Posted by: Sonar Apr 4 2016, 11:43 AM

These two also reminded me of The Qemist.

I feel the album will be a success in general, lots of bangers, good on the dancefloors. Not to be remembered for long though.

Full version available on Spotify

Posted by: Dobbo Jun 17 2016, 06:16 PM

That does nothing for me either, even with the shameless sample. I'm not a fan at all of spoken word in music so from the title alone this was never going to be up my street

powah <3 <3 <3

from the bt sport advert ~ could be bigggg ~~

Posted by: Ðøßßø Aug 26 2016, 06:21 PM

^^That is MUCH more like the C&S I love!

Just need a studio version.

Posted by: lewistgreen Aug 26 2016, 06:46 PM

All Goes Wrong is now on Spotify and available to download now.

Posted by: lewistgreen Sep 10 2016, 06:14 PM

Seems that was just a VIP version of 'All Goes Wrong' that was doing the rounds on a TV ad.

The actual version is being released as the next single on September 22nd.

Posted by: lewistgreen Sep 20 2016, 08:34 PM

All Goes Wrong is premiering on Annie Mac's show on Radio 1 tomorrow!

Posted by: Ðøßßø Sep 20 2016, 08:45 PM

Actual hype for this one

Posted by: mdh Sep 23 2016, 06:02 PM

this is massive I bloody love it!

Posted by: Ðøßßø Sep 23 2016, 09:19 PM

This is absolutely brilliant! Thrilled to see them still producing songs as good as this, the production is sooo End Credits

Posted by: lewistgreen Apr 21 2017, 01:17 PM

Next single is called 'Moment' and features the band Blossoms.

Posted by: Вuzzjack Apr 21 2017, 01:54 PM

Sounds like it will be a good collaboration, I would like to see another Chase and Status top 40 hit but it seems unlikely at the minute as drum and bass doesn't do as well in the charts any more.

Posted by: awardinary Apr 21 2017, 01:55 PM

Always got time for Chase & Status.

Posted by: Dexton Apr 21 2017, 02:09 PM

I blame Sigma.

Posted by: lewistgreen Jul 13 2017, 06:15 PM

Posted by: lewistgreen Jul 13 2017, 11:25 PM

Thought there'd be many omissions but the only missing track is Spoken Word!

Posted by: Dobbo Jul 14 2017, 09:39 AM

That's perfectly fine with me^^ the worst song they have ever & will ever put out...

Might be worth checking out after all, have only liked Control & All Goes Wrong so far but some of those collabs look promising.

Posted by: Lenny Jul 14 2017, 10:22 AM

Looks promising although I think 17 tracks is unnecessarily long. I prefer albums that are 35-45 minutes long personally.

Posted by: Bjork Jul 14 2017, 11:25 AM

great they skipped the only single that I disliked (Spoken word)

Posted by: Lenny Jul 14 2017, 11:26 AM

Actually "No More Idols" had 15 tracks and I listened to that endlessly (and even attached some non-album tracks they were involved with on the end such as Doctor's "Tek Your Time") so perhaps 17 tracks will be alright.

I see the Blossoms track as the equivalent of the White Lies one on NMI and that fit in really well so actually I think "This Moment" will grow. "Tribes" is very "Hocus Pocus". They seem to be going with the "No More Idols" formula.

"Control" and "All Goes Wrong" are definitely the best of the era so far.

Posted by: Steve201 Jul 15 2017, 09:31 PM

Stick with This Moment it all of a sudden hit me on listen 35 lol.

Really looking forward to this!

Posted by: lewistgreen Aug 11 2017, 06:16 PM

Reload premiering as Hottest Record in the World on Radio 1 tonight

Posted by: lewistgreen Aug 11 2017, 06:34 PM

OOFT RELOAD SHOULD'VE BEEN THE SINGLE PROMOTING THIS ALBUM

Posted by: lewistgreen Aug 12 2017, 12:09 PM

Not on Spotify/YouTube/Soundcloud yet but you can listen to the clip from Annie Mac's show last night http://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/p05c53yg.

Posted by: lewistgreen Aug 15 2017, 04:15 PM

Dubplate Original, Big Man Skank, Don't Stop, Know About We, Tribute and Step Away have all premiered over the weekend.

Remixes of Love Me More are now also available

Posted by: ML Hammer95 Aug 15 2017, 04:21 PM

Reload sounds great!

Posted by: lewistgreen Aug 17 2017, 10:33 PM

Genuinely cannot wait to listen to this tomorrow!

Posted by: lewistgreen Aug 18 2017, 09:22 AM

I take it back. I'm sort of disappointed by this on first listen I think I was expecting it to blow me away and it hasn't.
The singles are alright, but even they sound dated now. Crawling is an absolute highlight 10/10 from me with Reload behind it and Tribes is a decent track too.

Posted by: lewistgreen Aug 20 2017, 03:15 PM

I've only just clicked that it's John Newman on 'Crawling'

That to be the next single though pls.

Posted by: Steve201 Aug 20 2017, 11:12 PM

I actually enjoyed this on first listen - Tribes and Step Away my highlights!

Posted by: lewistgreen Aug 28 2017, 03:23 PM

Posted by: Dobbo Sep 22 2017, 08:16 PM

OMG, Know Your Name is the THE ONE! That is what I wanted from them this era
