Death In Vegas and Andrew Weatherall on the re-post today.
Last time, I said: Death In Vegas were Richard Fearless (born c. 1971), DJ, artwork; Steve Hellier (left band in 1998), production, engineering; Tim Holmes (became a full-time member in 1998), production, engineering. But it was really Fearless' band.
As I said previously, Death In Vegas started out in the mid-1990s something close to the hip hop funk stylings of bands like the Chemical Brothers, although with more swing and indie sensibility. Their "Dead Elvis" album is well worth a listen. They then changed at the end of the 1990s into an electrorocksleeze band, for which try "The Contino Sessions" album.
Here are two mixes, one from each period. Rekkit dates from 1997 and Neptune City from 1999. Each of the mixes is linked by Andy Weatherall, in his Two Lone Swordsmen guise:
Death In Vegas - Rekkit Greeting From Lino Square Mixed by Two Lone Swordsmen
Death In Vegas - Neptune Concrete Funk 1 (Two Lone Swordsmen Mix)

You are a gentleman sir! Thanks a lot for these. Don't suppose you have any other rare Two Lone Swordsmen remixes do you? I've got the Peppered with Spastic Magic comp and all the ones I could find on iTunes, but they've remixed so many tracks.
Infact, you have a few here I would really like if possible...
Texas - Put Your Arms Around Me [Breath Mix] Two Lone Swordsmen
Howie B - Angels Go Bald too (Two Lone Swordsmen Mix 1)
David Holmes - Gone (Second Night Without Charge) Two Lone Swordsmen Remix
David Holmes - Rodney Yates (Two Lone Swordsmen Mix)
If you could repost any of these I would be very grateful
