...is Sean Booth and Rob Brown. They got together in 1987 at the ages of 15 and 17. Other than BMXing and tagging, they also listened to a lot of early hip-hop, and began to screw around with a drum machine. Neither of them were interested in conventional music as such. After gaining some fame, they landed a radio show that they still run today. Then, they got shafted by their record company a fair amount, and joined WARP in 1992.

Since then they have been writing both harsh and nice electronic music, most of it with a heavy mechanical feel to it. Some of it's a bit on the dark side, but a lot of their stuff is extremely high in quality. They convey the shape of sound.
