Talk about high expectations. When London drum’n'bass duo, Chase & Status aka Saul Milton (Chase) and Will Kennard (Status) first laid down the tracks that would make up their third studio album, they were faced with a weighty dilemma: how to follow the sizeable footprint left by 2011’s multi platinum selling No More Idols, not to mention their hefty rep as festival headliners? The answer was found with Brand New Machine, an album that brims with surging, dancefloor anthems, dusty trip hop grooves as championed by the likes of Massive Attack and Portishead, and a collection of jungle and garage breakbeats that increase with substance over repeated plays. Meanwhile, brooding ragga harmonies and hip hop samples deliver an updated take on No More Idols’ anthemic, catch-all appeal. The overall vibe? An instantly memorable collection of swaggering cuts tuned to a club setting, hyped summer festivals and arenas alike.

First emerging in the mid 2000s on Valve, Bristol heavyweight TC elevated to the premiere league with anthems such as Where's My Money and Deep. He's since gone on to carve a unique path in drum & bass. Fusing elements and flavours from the widest possible corners, and not afraid to get on the mic and sing a little himself, he is truly one of a kind and has been spotted on some of the most respected labels possible from OWSLA to Ram Records.

Koven is ready to begin another exciting instalment with the arrival of Katie Boyle - one of dance music’s most talented, original vocalists. Featuring on labels such as Mainframe Recordings and Audioporn as well as teaming up with accomplished producers including including techstep mammoths Fourward, High Maintenance and liquid heavyweights Hybrid Minds, Katie has rightly gained a reputation for both her extreme versatility and vocal ability. Bigger and better sounding than ever, Koven are set for even greater heights, and are already among Skrillex and Rudimental as acts booked to perform at EXIT festival's Main Stage this summer.
