Tuesday, 12 October 2010
Written by Jon Stickler
Chase & Status return with the release of 'Hypest Hype', featuring Tempa T. Possibly their most groundbreaking work to date, 'Hypest Hype' is a blistering hybrid of heavy guitars and massive drum breaks, coupled with a ferocious vocal performance from new underground superstar Tempa T.
'Hypest Hype' will be available as a free download on November 8th. That date will also see the unveiling of Chase & Status’ new album title, artwork and track listing.
For the past few months Chase & Status have been meticulously balancing their time between DJ sets, festival shows, and extensive studio sessions whilst working on the much anticipated follow up to their genre bending debut, 'More Than A Lot'. Along with 'Hypest Hype', the highly anticipated album will feature their street single 'Heavy', the critically acclaimed collaboration where Chase & Status fused Dubstep, Grime, and Dizzee Rascal's classic 'Boy In Da Corner' flow to create the biggest brutal, un-compromising, but highly revered club banger of the year. The album, due for release in January, also features ‘End Credits’, their top 10 smash with Plan B, and their latest hit single ‘Let You’ Go ft Mali.
Off the back of a massive festival run this summer (Glastonbury, Wireless, V Festival and Bestival to name just a few), Chase & Status have just announced a number of shows this Autumn. Featuring MC Rage and Andy Gangadeen (Massive Attack, Faithless) on drums, Chase & Status Live, described by Mixmag as “rocking the living crap out of dance floors across the globe”, is one show not to be missed.
The band will be playing Radio 1’s Student Tour at Oxford Academy on 20th October, followed by headlining the Q Awards show at London's Forum on 21st October.
