Jason Greenhalgh (Q Project) & Paul Smith (Spinback) comprise Total Science.
The pair 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 Greenhalghis "Champion Sound", which really took their profile above and beyond the slew of anonymous white labels that were dominating the music at the time.
