Fresh from the release of ‘Through The Pain’ featuring Pozer, Chase and Status waste no time in setting the pace for 2026 with their second single of the year, ‘Doin It More’ featuring Blade Brown.
Arriving in quick succession, ‘Doin It More’ builds on the raw, club-focused energy that has defined this new chapter for the duo. Where ‘Through The Pain’ took us to the harder side of DnB, this latest release leans fully into grit, confidence, and momentum, a track designed for heavy systems and high-pressure environments.
Having recently reignited their connection to underground rave culture with two sweat-drenched, phone-free takeovers at London’s Corsica Studios, Chase & Status continue to draw from that same unfiltered energy. Across those nights, appearances from Blade Brown, Pozer and others hinted at a wave of new music, with ‘Doin It More’ now landing as the next step.
For this release, the duo link up with Blade Brown, a foundational figure in UK Rap and one of the genre’s most respected voices. Emerging in the early 2010s, Blade Brown helped define the UK’s independent rap blueprint, building a cult following through his uncompromising street narratives and entrepreneurial approach to releasing music. His ‘Financial Times’ mixtape series is widely regarded as a landmark body of work, setting standards for authenticity, consistency and independence within the scene.
Over the years, Blade Brown has remained a touchstone for UK rap’s evolution, bridging generations while maintaining a reputation for sharp lyricism and real-world storytelling. His influence can be heard across a new wave of artists, and his presence on ‘Doin It More’ brings both weight and legacy to the track.
A key part of Chase and Status’ longevity has been their instinct for collaboration. Consistently early in identifying and platforming voices that define the moment, they have cemented themselves as true tastemakers within UK music, seamlessly connecting with both emerging talent and established icons and always staying in step with the culture as it evolves.
The release continues a remarkable run for Chase and Status, who remain firmly at the forefront of UK electronic music. Following their chart-topping album ‘2 Ruff Vol. 1’ and a string of era-defining singles, the duo have continued to shape the sound of modern drum & bass.
‘Baddadan’ spent over 15 weeks in the UK Top 10 and achieved platinum certification, while ‘Backbone’ featuring Stormzy became their first-ever UK Number One single. Alongside a record-breaking sold out Live UK arena tour and historic shows including their Milton Keynes National Bowl takeover, Chase and Status have reaffirmed their status as one of the most influential acts in British music.
With over 2 billion global streams, a BRIT Award for British Producer of the Year, and more than two decades at the cutting edge of UK dance music, their impact continues to span generations and scenes.
With ‘Doin It More’ ft. Blade Brown, Chase & Status double down on the energy, urgency and cultural crossover that defines their current run, a relentless follow-up that signals there is far more to come in 2026.
