The Two Lone Swordsmen are British house DJ and producer Andrew Weatherall and studio engineer Keith Tenniswood. Formed in early 1996, following the dissolution of Weatherall's influential Sabres of Paradise techno act, the Swordsmen have explored a variety of styles, from electro and 4/4 techno to post punk and downtempo breakbeat. 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 funk disco.
