Brand New Machine is the third studio album by British bass music production duo Chase & Status. It was released on 7 October 2013 by MTA Records under exclusive license to Mercury Records. The album features vocal contributions from a new wave of British talent, including Louis M^ttrs, Moko, Jacob Banks and Elli Ingram, as well as contributions from Major Lazer, Nile Rodgers and rapper Pusha T. The duo toured the album with an arena tour beginning on 31 October 2013. They also headlined 1Xtra Live at the Bournemouth International Centre on the same day as the release of the album.
The promotional single "Big Man" featuring Liam Bailey was released through online retailers on 16 October 2012, although a free download was offered through their official website. The song features as a bonus track on the American edition of the album. "Lost & Not Found", the lead single, was the first standard album track to be premiered almost a year after "Big Man". It was followed by "Count on Me", the album's second single. "Machine Gun" was uploaded to their SoundCloud and sent to radio stations in August 2013 as a precursor to the album. On 28 September, the duo appeared on MistaJam's BBC Radio 1Xtra show for a guest mix, in which they premiered several album tracks including "International" and "Gangsta Boogie". Will, better known as Status, appeared once again on MistaJam's show on 2 October 2013 to talk about the album track-by-track. Several more album tracks were premiered on the show: "Alive", "Breathing" and "Pressure". The following day, short previews of each standard edition album track were uploaded to Chase & Status' official YouTube channel.
