"Honestly, it feels surreal how fast everything sold," Luude shares. "To be able to do this on home soil with the Chase & Status lads who I've been a fan of forever is something I'd never even have imagined was possible. . . just mental stuff we're all so stoked."
The pairing of two of the biggest names in electronic music, UK drum & bass, big beat legends Chase & Status join local EDM king Luude for a monster co-headline tour.
The run of shows will land in Brisbane, Sydney, Perth, Adelaide and Melbourne this April.Across their two-decade journey, Chase & Status have morphed from underground instigators into commercial heavyweights, with a string of best-selling albums (including 'No More Idols' and 'Brand New Machine').
The pairing of Will Kennard and Saul Milton, Chase & Status have amassed a staggering two billion global streams, with their dance-floor bangers including 'Baddadan', 'Blind Faith', 'Mixed Emotions', 'Alive', 'Count On Me', 'End Credits', and 'No Problem'.
In 2023, they released a string of singles including 'Selecta' (with Stefflon Don), 'Say The Word' (feat. Clementine Douglas) and 'Liquor & Cigarettes' (with ArrDee).
An emerging EDM force both locally and abroad, Luude has had an incredible couple of years that has seen him release several monster club cuts like 'Down Under' (that features Colin Hay laying down fresh vocals to the Aussie anthem), 'Big City Life' (a remix of Mattafix's mid 2000s classic), 'TMO (Turn Me On)' a reworking of Kevin Lyttle's reggae-soca 2003 ballad, and 'Oh My', a drum & bass cover of Moby's 'Porcelain' featuring vocals from Issey Cross.
The Australian producer, who has amassed 500 million-plus streams worldwide, picked up Best Dance Release (for 'Down Under') at the 2022 ARIA Awards, where he was also nominated for the Michael Gudinski Breakthrough Artist award; 2022 also saw Luude awarded Best International Artist at the Drum & Bass Awards.
