Listen: Chase & Status premiere new single 'Count On Me'
Dance duo unleash taster from Brand New Machine
- C2C: Although French turntable collective C2C have been together since 1998, it took them 14
years to release their debut album, and 'Tetra' sat as one of the most creative records of
2012. Dr Pepper's recent use of single 'Down
The Road' in an advert has seen the award
winning group go borderline viral in recent
months, indicating 2013 may just be their
year.

Chase & Status are ramping up the anticipation for their forthcoming album Brand New Machine with the unveiling of new single 'Count On Me'. Listen to the track below.
The single will be officially released on 29 September and is the second song to be revelead from the duo's third studio album.
'Count On Me' features up and coming singer Moko laying down some vocals on the track, which is very much reminiscent of early 90's rave with drum and bass, mixing in a few modern elements for good measure. The song is short, to the point and is sure to be a hit at live shows and in the clubs.
Listen to Chase & Status 'Count on Me' (featuring Moko) below:
Brand New Machine is the duo's follow up to the multi-platinum No More Idols, and will be released on 7 October.
Speaking to Gigwise backstage at the weekend's Glastonbury festival, the band said that the LP would feature a wide mixture of sounds and influences.
"It's really good," said Saul 'Chase' Milton. "We're nearly finished, we've got a single coming out and it's really fun - we're really excited about it."
Asked about where the album would take the Chase & Status sound, Will 'Status' Kennard replied: "Nowhere - it doesn't!"
"It takes us back to why we love music, man. Our inspiration is in our record. Some of it's old-school but brought up to date, and it's just about all that inspires us."
He added "There's a whole lot of stuff in there. Our albums are fairly mixed with different music.
Chase & Status will be playing at Reading and Leeds festivals this year. For more information visit Gigwise gig tickets.
