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.

MPH is becoming a staple in the new wave of UK Garage, strapping together monumental releases for some of the scene's most important imprints as well as forming a strong catalogue of independent singles. From smooth garage creations with DJ EZ's label Nuvolve and Kiwi Rekords, to raucous bassline bangers for the likes of Night Bass, Spinnin Records and Crucast; it’s difficult to find a platform that MPH is yet to encounter. Off the back of his recent festival shows, including Glastonbury, Boomtown and countless others, heading straight into his first headline UK Tour in October (2022), the sky really is the limit for this young producer. With bundles of support from the likes of Skream, Disclosure, Floating Points and Chris Lorenzo, there’s a certain excitement in the scene around the name MPH.
