Deep Down & Dirty is the fourth studio album by the British electronic band Stereo MCs, released on May 28 2001, nine years after the successful Connected. The album maintains a similar style to its predecessor with deep-groove, beatbox funk, nods to soul-jazz and gospel though music critics at the time noted its grittier, edgier approach. The title track was released as the album's first single. It was recorded at Frontline Studios, Brixton, London.
Background
The Stereo MC's toured from 1992 until 1994 in support of their previous album, Connected following the resounding success of its 1992 release which earned two coveted Brit Awards (including album of the year) before taking an extended hiatus due to being "burnt out" explained Nick "the Head" Hallam in a Billboard interview. "It got to a point where Rob and I weren't even really talking -- and this went on for about one year. This was particularly bizarre, as we've known each other since we were 6 years old." During their absence, the two formed a publishing company (Spirit Songs) and an independent label (Response Records). They also remixed U2's Mysterious Ways and Madonna's Frozen under the Ultimatum alias. In 2000 they mixed a volume of the DJ Kicks series for German imprint Studio !K7.
The Two Lone Swordsmen are BritishhouseDJ and producerAndrew Weatherall and studio engineerKeith Tenniswood. Formed in early 1996, following the dissolution of Weatherall's influential Sabres of Paradisetechno act, the Swordsmen have explored a variety of styles, from electro and 4/4 techno to post punk and downtempo in later years. Originally they released material on the label Emissions Audio Output, run by Weatherall. However, the small nature of the operation limited the duo's success and they subsequently signed to Warp Records, making them labelmates with acts such as Autechre and Boards of Canada, as well as setting up the Rotters Golf Club label for their more dancefloor-friendly output under various other guises.
In 2004 they released From the Double Gone Chapel, exhibiting more of a late 1970s dub and post punk sound than their previous work, influenced heavily by groups like PiL. It was released with the single Sex Beat, a cover of the popular Gun Club song. Their latest album, Wrong Meeting, was released in April 2007, with Wrong Meeting II following a month after. Set solidly in the dub rock vein they explored on From the Double Gone Chapel, the duo venture into sleezy country and LCD Soundsystem-style punk funkdisco.

Two Lone Swordsmen - The Bunker
The Two Lone Swordsmen, Andrew Weatherall and Keith Tenniswood may be long-acquainted partners in the field of techno innovation, (before Two Lone Swordsmen, they worked together throughout the mid-1990s as part of seedy post-acid house rogues Sabres Of Paradise) but they've never fallen into the po-faced techno-trap of over-intellectualising their music. You didn't need a degree to enjoy previous album Stay Down--a work that joyfully explored the boundless territory of the burble, the parp and the squelch--and happily, while this, their third album offers a change in direction, it's one that delves into the endless possibilities of the buzz, the fizz, and the bleep in typically idiot savant style. "Tiny Reminders" is a driving seventy-three minute journey into the depths of electro-minima...

"Tiny Reminders" is a driving seventy-three minute journey into the depths of electro-minimalism, peppered throughout with very characteristic bursts of the Swordsmen's deadpan humour -- see the Aphex Twin-esque gastric rumble of "Rotting Hill Carnival" and the valium-addled steel drum workout of "It's Not The Worst I've Looked... Just The Most I've Ever Cared". For those who like their techno genuinely innovative, Tiny Reminders is essential.
