Breakbeat Science Recordings is a drum and bass record label based in a record store of the same name in Brooklyn in New York City, New York; both the label and the store (the first record store in the United States to sell only drum and bass) were founded in 1996, and a website was launched in 1997. Breakbeat Science is linked to the liquid funk scene.
The label has been associated with a number of respected DJs and producers, including DJ DB and DJ Dara, who along with Paul Morris and Sean "Shooter" own the store and label, and also Pieter K, DJ Abstract, and AK1200. It has also brought releases by UK acts High Contrast, London Elektricity, Klute, and others to the United States, along with releases from acts outside the US or UK, like the Norwegian duo Rawthang; Breakbeat Science often works with other labels (for example, Hospital Records, the home of both High Contrast and London Elektricity) to do this. The label has no branches outside of the United States, but it does have a sublabel, Orgone, that cultivates American talent.

Famous quotes containing the word science:
“If science ever gets to the bottom of Voodoo in Haiti and Africa, it will be found that some important medical secrets, still unknown to medical science, give it its power, rather than the gestures of ceremony.”
