CHASE & STATUS DJ SET
As one of the most successful British bands of the last decade Chase & Status have achieved widespread notoriety and universal respect for their achievements. Consummate professionals at every level, Will Kennard and Saul Milton, are contemporary vanguards of UK electronic music. Together they’ve channelled their deep-rooted passion for rave culture into six highly-acclaimed, best-selling albums, an incendiary live show and a wide range of projects that have established them as an iconic outfit.
In 2022, Chase & Status released their sixth studio album which charted at number four in the official UK album chart. What Came Before, distilling 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.
Going back to the beginning, when Will and Saul appeared in 2003 they excelled on the DnB underground with a series of well-received EPs and support from the scene’s top tier, including luminaries such as Fabio, Grooverider, Zinc and Andy C who signed their first LP, ‘More Than A Lot’, to his iconic independent label Ram Records in 2008 which went gold within three months of release. Three years later their follow-up ‘No More Idols’ pushed them into the mainstream domain with chart successes including their Top 5 hit ‘Blind Faith’ (with Liam Bailey) and ‘End Credits’ featuring Plan B. While the album itself was the second best-selling LP by a British band in 2011, hitting No.2 in the UK album charts and certified double Platinum with over 850,000 copies sold to date. That year they were also nominated in the Best Band category at the prestigious Brit awards, picking up the gong for Best Video (for ‘End Credits’) at the Q Awards and NME Awards.
Hold tight all the massive and crew, this one’s for YOU!

SIGMA
Sigma are one of the biggest Drum and Bass artists in the world, amassing over 7 million global sales including hit singles Nobody To Love, Changing and Find Me. With two U.K. number 1’s under their belt and countless main stage festival performances around the globe, Sigma firmly cemented their place as pioneers of drum and bass crossing into the mainstream.
The Sigma hit machine became a well oiled creation. The Life album became their calling card and they just kept on expanding their remit. Spreading out from drum’n'bass to house and pure pop, they proved that they could work with vocalists of all stripes - and that their DJ, and very soon live sets too, could work on the biggest stages to the most diverse crowds. And they kept working worldwide - “even though you might find you’d booked yourself to be in Estonia on Sunday and Ibiza on Monday and have to take six flights” - just barely keeping themselves fit and sane as they did. Over the next five years, they just kept on smashing the biggest festival stages across the world, and kept new tracks coming with a-list vocalists like Birdy, John Newman and Jack Savoretti - while Joe, as obsessive about perfecting technical skills in the studio as he ever was behind the decks, was lending production and song writing skills to records by Savoretti, Take That and more.
Hitting 2022, Sigma released new album Hope and are now returning to their roots for a summer of tear our drum and bass sets across Europe.

LUUDE
Tasmanian born, Perth Raised, Gold-Coast based Australian Christian Benson aka LUUDE has quickly risen to the forefront of a new wave of producers coming out of Australia. An artist who is consistently evolving and finding success across multiple endeavours.
After bursting onto the scene in 2017 with a series of remixes and original tracks that amassed millions of streams, LUUDE quickly took hold of the local club circuit, becoming an in-demand name for all promoters. The hype quickly escalated into sold-out hard ticket touring (10,000 sold across Australia and New Zealand) and festival sets on the country’s biggest stages.
Fast forward to now and that constantly forward thinking take on dance music has connected with the world outside of Australia - landing a global hit with “Down Under (Feat. Colin Hay)” a bass heavy take on the Men At Work 80’s classic - which has rocketed up the charts in multiple continents and positioned LUUDE as one of the next global superstars in dance music.
Also recognised as one half of the well-respected Australian duo, Choomba, who have been endorsed by tastemakers such as The Magician, Claude Von Stroke, Richie Hawtin, Claptone, Riva Starr, and Erick Morillo - the duo host their own dance music radio show on Triple J Australia’s biggest youth focused station. All further testament to his abilities as a production powerhouse and tastemaker of the next sound, who finds success in everything he is doing.
“I always want to be making stuff that feels exciting - I’ve been working on this next phase for Luude for a while, just trying to find all the right elements while I was having fun with Choomba. It’s been surreal to see how quickly the project has blown up since finding that direction” - LUUDE
