Hailing from San Francisco, California, the Bachelors of Science are fast becoming one of the top drum n bass producers in the electronic music scene. Their debut album “Science Fiction” on Horizons Music was released in 2008 to critical and commercial acclaim, selling out in just days upon its release and spending over nine weeks in the Drum n Bass Arena top ten chart.

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, soulful vocals and deep bass has been hailed as “a refreshing musical approach to drum n bass and a return to the true sound of liquid funk”.

In addition to their producing, the Bachelors have gained a strong reputation for their high energy unique dj sets. Blending a variety of styles and always throwing in some surprises, the duo has toured extensively across USA, UK, Germany, France and more, landing spots at Love Parade, Ministry of Sound and garnering extensive coverage in Knowledge Magazine, ATM, Mixmag and Kiss FM.
