Jason Greenhalgh and Paul Smith 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. 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 Greenhalgh’s "Champion Sound", which really took their profile above and beyond the slew of anonymous white labels that were dominating the music at the time.
The pair’s pioneering of a revival in old-school sounds and arrangements, together with Digital and Reinforced, dominated drum & bass throughout 2001. After this followed releases on high-profile labels such as 31 Records, True Playaz, Reinforced and Soul:r.
At the end of 1997, with help from Brilo from Timeless, Greenhalgh and Smith established the CIA label and changed their name to the now synonymous Total Science. CIA was established out of a necessity for Total Science ( Q-Project & Spinback ) to have their own imprint & identity in which to not only showcase their own ever increasing catalogue of music but also for likeminded artists the dynamic duo respected & inspired. C.I.A now stands tall amongst it's peers with it's own defined yet ever-evolving sound, C.I.A & its subsidiaries are still plotting a strong & steady course for 2011 & beyond.
