Total Science is the influential drum and bass duo from the United Kingdom, comprised of Jason Greenhalgh (Q Project) and Paul Smith (Spinback). Originating from Oxford, the pair began collaborating in the early 1990s, fusing their shared love of breakbeat, hardcore, and jungle sounds into a pioneering production partnership. After making a substantial impact as individual artists on the rave circuit, Total Science emerged as a force in the late 90s, quickly earning acclaim for their innovative style that blended classic funk influences, sharp drum programming, and cutting-edge basslines.
They founded their own seminal label, CIA Records, which became a cornerstone for quality d'n'b releases and helped nurture a new wave of producers. Renowned for genre-defining tunes like "Champion Sound" (Q Project), "Squash", and "Nosher," as well as numerous collaborations and remixes, Total Science are celebrated for their versatility, longevity, and uncompromising commitment to both soulful and dancefloor-driven drum and bass. Their influence stretches across decades, maintaining a vital presence through DJ sets, prolific output, and continuing contributions to the global drum and bass scene.
