CHASE AND STATUS DJ SET

Waihi Beach Hotel

28 December 2012

Electronic music producers Chase & Status are hitting New Zealand shores this summer and we are pleased to announce a special appearance at the Waihi Beach Hotel on December 28^th.  The duo will be fresh off the back of their new album and are performing at the iconic Waihi Beach Hotel as part of the hotel’s Summer Festival series.

Chase & Status became one of the biggest selling artists in the UK in 2011 selling over 1 million singles in the UK alone.  Their album ‘No More Idols’ did not leave the top 40 for 35 weeks and has now achieved double platinum status.  Will and Saul began 2012 with a Brit Nomination for ‘Best British Group’, a true credit to their enormous success in the UK and an amazing recognition of drum and bass music by such a prestigious awards ceremony.  Early 2012 also sees Chase & Status release their ‘Live at Brixton Academy’ DVD, capturing their phenomenal performance at the legendary venue on their recent UK tour.  The pair are also heading back into the studio to work on highly anticipated album number three.

They have been headlining festivals all summer, including Global Gathering and SW4 Festival and many more across the UK, Europe, USA and our very own NZ. 

For a taste of what to expect, their new single “Big Man" is available on the official Chase & Status website as a free download.

Make sure you catch Chase & Status’ DJ set on December 28 with George FM breakfast DJ’s Connor Nestor, Overkill, Jash.  The Backroom after-party has NDA & friends. 

The Waihi Beach Hotel and it’s gorgeous summer surrounds will be a unique and memorable place to see Chase & Status, there is no doubt that this will be one of the must see summer shows!
