Xplicit

Straight up, nae messing, Xplicit throw their biggest party ever this October. Taking place within Potterrow at Edinburgh University, the night boasts a live appearance from Chase & Status, a set from dubstep heavyweight Skream as well as Xplicit resident D'n'B overlord Eno and MC Tonn Piper.

How many artists and producers can count Jay Z, Snoop Dogg and Pharell in their fanbase? All whilst D'n'B stars Andy C, Hype and Pendulum give them heavy rotation in the hands of dub-step royalty such as N-Type and Skream? On top of this, have each release enthusiastically supported by the likes of Annie Mac and Zane Lowe? Not many at all, bu this is what Saul Milton and Will Kennard, producing under the name Chase & Status, have achieved in a mere five years, with the the highlight of their youngful career so far being their debut LP ‘More Than Alot’. The album has helped turn them into a unique phenomenon and by far the biggest crossover act to come out of the underground since Pendulum.

If keeping themselves busy in the studio with multi-platinum artists and extensive DJ commitments all around the globe wasn’t enough work, they have confirmed a 29 date live tour of the UK and Europe. This will be their first ever live tour following on from the success of their debut performances at the 2009 BBC Radio 1 Big Weekend and Relentless’ Nass Festival. Their new set up includes the amazing Andy Gangadeen on drums and appearances from vocalists including homegrown talent Plan B, Kano and Yolanda who all feature on ‘More Than Alot’.
