Dust Science was originally formed by collective of Sheffield based musicians, artists and designers to present new music from emerging and existing talents alike. Ken Downie, the original member of The Black Dog was initially approached to contribute a release for the fledgling label. It soon became apparent that he actually had new collaborators among the label's team - Martin and Richard Dust. The result of this new Black Dog line-up was the EP "Bite Thee Back", which launched the label Dust Science Recordings in 2005. This was quickly followed by a raft of singles from a wide range of artists. After more than a decade in existence, surviving all the music industry turmoil, bankrupt distributors and the rapid shift to digital services, Ken, Martin and Richard continue to create music as The Black Dog and maintain the Dust Science label. It's now a personal project, focusing on the work from The Black Dog and their associated projects, including Application and Dadavistic Orchestra.
