Chase & Status - Alive ft. Jacob Banks (video)

We do love a good epic video here at Skiddle HQ. Only last week we extolling the virtues of the shorts utilised by Fatboy Slim on his You've Come a Long Way Baby album and dance music is littered with classics. Chase & Status have now added to that canon with a gorgeous offering for their latest single Alive, due out 15th December.

Shot in the Blackfeet reservation in Montana it depicts a community beset by drugs and violence and has courted controversy since it was released earlier in the week. It uses some breathtaking cinematography, and certainly mines a different source material than other videos. One thing though, we can't stop watching it.

Chase & Status themselves have had nothing short of an apocalyptic year. Their omnipresence both on festival line ups and the UK singles chart has paved the way for an arena tour which saw them take their stratospheric bass to new levels. If you fancy a bit of the crew this New year's Eve they are headlining a show up in Middlesbrough, bringing their live show alongside MC Rage. We've got tickets on sale here.
