TOTAL SCIENCE (C.I.A./True Playaz UK) Tue. July 26!!!!!
automatic presents:
TOTAL SCIENCE C.I.A./Advance//d/Good Looking/Metalheadz/True Playaz/Timeless/31/ Reinforced/Renegade Hardware/Function/Eastside/Movement/Hardleaders/ Industry/Fuze/Narcotix/Invaderz/Defunked/Creative Source/Innerground/ Fix/Partisan/Baron Inc./Trouble on Vinyl/U.K.....phew!!!! DJ Q PROJECT   TUESDAY JULY 26 The pair who would become Total Science first met in 1987, both living in and around the Blackbird Leys estate in Oxford, England and brought together through a mutual love of hip-hop and school girls. Distracted by the arrival of hardcore in the early nineties, record collecting was quickly followed by DJing and eventually production. Greenhalgh was the first into the studio, with "Freestyle Fanatic" launching his career in 1991. However it was the establishment of the Legend imprint and specifically Q Project's monstrous "Champion Sound",  which really took his profile above and beyond the slew of anonymous white labels that were dominating the music at the time. After six years of recording singles for Legend and others, they established the CIA label and changed their name to the now familiar Total Science guise in the closing months of 1997. The release of their Silent Reign EP for Goldie's Metalheadz breathed a new lease of life into the project, and the pair achieved a further boost with a well-timed Bad Company remix of "Champion Sound" which conjured further interest in what they were doing with their own label. Their debut album Advance exposed a further field of interest, with down-tempo experiments logged as a series of "Breaks" on the majority of their early EP's extended to some superb deep house, this breadth was taken a step further with their Skin Deep imprint which has forged broken beat to considerable acclaim. Total Science's pioneering of a revival in old-school sounds and arrangements, together with Digital and Reinforced, dominated drum & bass throughout 2001. During this period a heavy amount of remix work of old-skool tracks (i.e “Dublate”, “NHS”, “Hardcore Jungilism”, “Jazz Note”) furthered the movement that the duo championed. After this followed releases on high-profile labels such as 31 Records, True Playaz, Reinforced and Soul:r. 2000 saw the founding of CIA’s sister label Advanced, created as a means to keep up with the high level of production output from the duo and their confederates, for which one label was no longer enough. Following from this came the renowned Sektor series on Advanced. Initially created as a way of combining up-and coming artists with those more established, the series was also developed as a means to stress the importance more on the music than the artists. Featuring artists such as Baron, Digital, D.kay, Lee, Juju, Beta 2 and Klute, the Sektor series included seminal tracks such as “Squash”, and the ever popular “Champion Sound” remix. This series continues to prove it's popularity by sales and reputation, with several new volumes added each year. During 2003 Total Science spent a significant part of the year touring all parts of the world, including the USA, Australia, New Zealand, Europe & Brazil. Subsequently during this year CIA and Advanced became more focused on showcasing other artists and nurturing the profile of then-up-and-coming producers such as Beta 2, Zero Tolerance, Friction, Mathematics and Baron-whose remix of Total Science's "Nosher" became without a doubt one of the year's biggest dancefloor stormers, pioneering the jump-up resurgence of 2003. 2004 begins with a new studio set up, allowing Total Science to up the ante on output and quality, with releases on CIA & Advanced, including "No. 1 Sound", "A.C.I & Voices" and a return to Metalheadz with "Defcom 69/Loose Ends". In the true Total Science fashion of never binding oneself to one particular musical form, liquid-style releases are also due out on Creative Source & Defunked. Last year saw the release of another full LP, "The Good Game", which was played out heavily by DJs around the globe.  Further into this year there are plans for a re-launch of the currently dormant Skin Deep imprint, a hip-hop/modern soul album (currently in production) planned for release later in the year and several other projects in the works. With such a vast array of styles and concepts originated by Total Science over the past ten years, one can only guess what the future holds for this highly talented duo, except to say that surprises will always be expected! At the same time they continued to produce seperately, with Q Project scoring highly acclaimed releases on Good Looking Records, Hospital Records, Bingo Beats, Liquid V, and Timeless records, amongst others. His most recent 12" on C.I.A. "Greatest Thing" has proved to be MASSIVE, getting play from virtually every DJ across the spectrum of drum and bass. TUESDAY JULY 26 JAY-AUTO/MATTY PACIFIC/DABBLER/PSILOCIN/MYSTER.E Tickets $18 at Active Pass, Beat Street, Boomtown, On Deck, and Zulu. The Lotus Sound Lounge 455 Abbott St.

i highly doubt we'll ever go through a period of having three d&b shows in a row postponed (zinc/nu:tone/evol intent) again....
shouldn't be any problems with total science, there will be a permit, they'll already be in north america before the show, and contract is done and deposit already sent. |

I even passed it on to Peeps in Victoria earlier this Week so I'm hoping some of those Island Folks will make the Trip.
