The Grid are Dave Ball and Richard Norris, makers of great ambient, techno and dance music. 

This English duo's hybrid of electronic and acoustic instruments, with vocals and without, has
synthed & synched & dubbed its way through earphones, bodies and clubs since sometime
between house music's firing up and electronica's cool arrival.
