Background and promotion

On 28 August 2019, during an interview with Official Charts Company, the DJ announced the album and mentioned about the artists he was collaborating with: "I know Sugababes' Mutya and Keisha personally because they are huge garage fans. They were always out in the garage clubs, but at the same time, they were huge pop stars and the biggest girl band in the country."[2]

The album was released on CD format on 18 October 2019, followed by a double LP on 6 December 2019.[3][4]

Live

A live show was performed on 24 October 2019 at the Royal Albert Hall.[5]
