Total Science

Total Science is the stage name of English drum and bass producers Jason Greenhalgh and Paul Smith. The pair first met in 1987, both living on Blackbird Leys estate in Oxford, England and brought together through a mutual love of hip hop. Distracted by the arrival of hardcore in the early nineties, the pair's record collecting was quickly followed by DJing, and eventually production. Greenhalgh launched his career with "Freestyle Fanatic" in 1991. 
In 1994, the pair started recording together, with "Got to Believe" the first in a series of records which pushed the label away from the darkside movement and toward labels like Lucky Spin, Basement, and Good Looking. After six years of recording singles for others, the pair established the CIA label in the closing months of 1997 with the help of Brillo from Timeless Recordings. 
The release of their Silent Reign EP for Goldie's Metalheadz was another important release for the project, coming before a Bad Company remix of "Champion Sound" for their own label. Their debut album, Advance, was released in 2000, and featured downtempo experiments logged as a series of "Breaks" on the majority of their early EPs.
==Links to Peel==
Peel seemed to discovered the group via their pseudonym name, Funky Technicians, in 1995 when he played a track from their single. Further material from the duo under various names were played by JP on his programmes and in 2004, he nominated their album, Good Game, as one of his records for September 2004 (Peel's Record Box).
