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.

Operating heavyweight bass since 2008, Flux Pavilion has been one of UKF’s most popular artists since UKF launched in 2009… And he remains so to this day. Beyond his raw dancefloor destruction with his muscular production motifs, the Circus Records co-founder’s work has been sampled by Kanye and Jay-Z, featured on major Hollywood blockbuster The Great Gatsby and popular games Need For Speed: Most Wanted and SSX. With remix credits attached to artists as disparate as Jamiroquai and Skrillex, Flux continues to develop the versatility and creativity he exploded on to the scene with six years ago.
