Renowned London-based duo Chase & Status have released their first ever Fabric compilation RTRN II FABRIC on Friday 30 October. The mix runs for over an hour and covers a total of 44 tracks showcasing the electronic kingpins’ mastery of the drum’n’bass and jungle genres and featuring 6 unreleased tracks, VIP reworks of their classic hits, and established club anthems. The compilation is availble to order on CD and 8-track double LP from Fabric’s online store, as well as digital download and online stream.
Chase & Status’ RTRN II FABRIC marks part six of the iconic club’s Fabric Presents series that started in February 2019 with a performance by UK producer and DJ Bonobo celebrating the music venue’s 20th anniversary, and have since featured Kölsch, The Martinez Brothers, Amelie Lens, Maribou State, with Brooklyn-based house DJ Octo Octa & Eris Drew in line for the next installment in November 2020. The series covers a wide range of electronic genres and have already presented some of the finest names in the international house, techno and trip-hop scenes, with Chase & Status given the honour to enrich its repertoir with “over an hour of raw, melodic & energetic jungle“.

RTRN II FABRIC features club classics and well-known tracks by Remarc, DJ Rap, SHY FX, Wax Doctor, Watch The Ride and Bou, as well as Chase & Status’ latest release ‘Engage‘ and few previously unheard tracks from their upcoming record like ‘Why‘ and ‘Hardstep‘. The compilation title itself is a clever twist on their last album RTRN II JUNGLE from 2019 that saw the band return to their earlier jungle roots and authentic drum’n’bass sound after few previous years of experimenting with grime projects, venturing into pop and dance territories and collaborating with an extensive list of established music stars and breakthrough artists.
In an exclusive interview for Beatportal, Will Kennard (Chase) reveals curious details about spending time with his family and keeping busy with music under lockdown, the difficulties in creating such extensive mix in the contemporary digital times, and the immence importance of Fabric for the UK club scene and the duo’s own history. He goes on to discuss the release of Chase & Status’ new tracks as part of the mix instead of standalone singles, and the final tracklist of the compilation:
“This just made perfect sense. Doing a mix with other people’s songs is cool, but we wanted there to be a bit more interest in it. There are lots of original versions of stuff, original music, and just kinds of different edits of existing songs. So I think it sounds pretty fresh!”
