Selected by Chase and Status

We couldn’t think of anyone better to curate a 10Trax playlist than powerhouses Chase and Status. I don’t think they even need an introduction to you at this point.

Straight off the back of the release of their critically acclaimed RTRN II JUNGLE album, the boys are back again. This time around, Chase and Status, have unveiled the original dancehall records that formulated the project. RTRN: THE ORIGINALS was written over the last year in both London and in Jamaica in the island’s historic Big Yard Studios. The Originals comprises of 6 tracks released as both full vocals and instrumentals that will be set to light up Dancehall sets the world over. 

Celebrating over 15 years as trailblazers, Chase and Status are doing just that by continuing to inspire a cultural movement; bringing back British music and fashion of the golden years of Jungle music from the mid-late 90s. Speaking on the project the boys revealed “In May 2018 we went to Kingston, Jamaica to Big Yard Studios to record vocals for RTRN II JUNGLE. What we wanted to do was make authentic jungle, like it would have been in the early 90s but rather than sample records, that have been sampled many times before, we decided to make our own dancehall riddims and songs which we would then sample, and become much of the body of work for RTRN II JUNGLE. So the Originals EP is exactly that – 6 tracks in their original form that were made in London and Jamaica. Originals is also available on limited edition 7” vinyl. We’re very proud to present RTRN II JUNGLE – THE ORIGINALS.”
