Hailing from San Francisco, California, the Bachelors of Science are fast becoming one of the biggest acts in the electronica music scene. Their debut album “Science Fiction” on Horizons Music was released in 2008 to critical and commercial acclaim, becoming one of the biggest selling drum n bass albums of all time, spending over nine weeks in the DnB Arena charts and winning "Best Drum n Bass Track" at the 2009 Beatport Awards.
The Bachelors of Science are Phil "Rene", a producer and classically trained musician born in New Zealand and raised in the UK, and DJ Fokus also from the UK, previously known for playing the hardcore and early jungle scene from 91-95 in the UK. The duo met out in California and rapidly gained airplay from top dj's including Brian Gee, Bailey, LTJ Bukem, Grooverider, Annie Mac, High Contrast, Doc Scott, DJ Flight, Alix Perez, Blu Mar Ten, DJ Lee, Redeyes, Makoto, State Of Mind, JuJu, BigBud and L Double to name but a few.
Their unique blend of classical strings, rolling beats and soulful vocals has been hailed as “a refreshing musical approach to drum n bass and a return to the true sound of liquid funk”, picking up rave reviews in Mixmag, XLR8A, Knowledge Magazine and more, with their breakout tune "The Ice Dance" featured on the number one selling iphone game "Tap Tap Revenge".
In addition to their production, the duo have built a strong following for their vibrant feel-good DJ sets which have taken them across the globe, performing at Love Parade, Ministry of Sound, BBC Radio and more alongside such artists as Pendulum, Photek, High Contrast, JuJu, LTJ Bukem and more.
The Bachelors of Science are currently working on their follow-up album "Warehouse Days" due to be released late 2009 / early 2010.
