My Nu Leng

"We have been big fans of Chase &Status since 'Wise Up' and 'Tricky' 15 years ago! We have been playing 'Tricky' over the last few years and it still sounds as relevant as ever. Always progressing and moving forward we are always inspired by their sounds."

TCTS

"Chase and Status have played a massive part in my journey as a producer. When Will and Saul signed me to MTA Records, I had just moved away from Manchester and was still working part time in a clothes store trying to make music my career and afford rent in London. They mentored me and taught me loads, and at MTA I released my 'Games'and 'Body'EPs. For them the music always came first, whatever the genre, and it was a privilege to cut my teeth playing shows and festivals with them and the MTA family.

"My favourite tune from them is 'Eastern Jam'. It was EVERYWHERE when I was at Uni in Manchester, and reminds me of being a kid with a dream of being able to make music for people."

Hannah Wants

"Chase & Status have been in the game for 15 years and still remain one of the biggest players in their scene which is testament to their quality and credibility.I think my favourite Chase & Status track would have to be 'End Credits'!"

Ocean Wisdom

"Chase & Status have always been front runners in what they do and I've always admired the hustle! Is a platinum record and a bit of white ash really too much to ask for?...I really liked that track 'Bigger Man Sound' they did with Novelist a little while back. Salutes!"

Skepsis

"For me growing up, Chase & Status were always one of my main influences and reasons to start DJing and producing. The 'No More Idols 'album was one of my staples at the time of getting into electronic music properly, and I’ve always admired their versatility and production skill. I’ve shared lineups with them a few times now and it’s always an enormous honour, as I’m sure it would be for anyone in a similar position to me.

"Favourite track: 'Flashing Lights'"
