Leaving a trail of thrashed speakers and devastated dance floors in their wake, Total Science are among the most respected and successful of drum 'n' bass producers in the world. Finding their tracks in rotation from such megastar DJs as Goldie, Grooverider, Andy C, and Fabio, these production luminaries consistently crank out chaotic and extraterrestrial lines that weave their way through their surgically precise rhythmic patterns. Samples hiss and snarl through the atmospheric vapor that surrounds their beats, moving fast-forward into an enigmatic and surreal future.
