the pair first met in 1987, both living on blackbird leys estate
in oxford, england and brought together through a mutual love of
hip-hop. distracted by the arrival of hardcore in the early
nineties, record collecting was quickly followed by dj'ing and
eventually production. 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. in 1994, the pair started
recording together, with "got to believe" the first in a series of
records which pushed the label away from the fizzling darkside
movement and more towards the epic string sections and rolling
beats which started to appear on labels like lucky spin, basement
and good looking. after six years of recording singles for others,
the pair established the cia label in the closing months of 1997
with the help of brillo from timeless. the release of their silent
reign ep for goldie's metalheadz breathed a new lease of life into
the project, and the pair achieved a further boost with a
well-timed bad company remix of "champion sound" which conjured
further interest in what they were doing at their own label. their
debut album advance exposed a further field of interest, with
downtempo experiments logged as a series of "breaks" on the
majority of their early ep's extended to some superb deep house,
this breadth taken a step further with their skin deep imprint
which has forged broken beat to considerable acclaim. their
pioneering of a revival in old-school sounds and arrangements,
together with digital and reinforced, dominated drum & bass
throughout 2001.
