I didn't find a thread solely dedicated to these artists yet, so here it is. 'Cause it is a must.
Aside from Boards of Canada probably my most favored musical act ever. A pity they split up by now but there is still a lot left to discover.

I recommend everyone at least download the freely available live show from http://www.percussionlab.com/Sets/FunkstorungShow.shtml for anyone who hasn't heard of Funkstörung yet and those who did, you should do so as well.

I particularly dig their remixes. No surprise they covered so many different artists. They just have this very peculiar style. You always recognize it. And yet it sounds so different. Pioneers of glitch hop? Anyways, I love them to death and need to share my love and admiration. :p

Go ahead and check them out!

I haven't dug very deep into them, but I have Fat Camp Feva on vinyl, that is an awesome tune. Should be checking more soon...

I really enjoyed what they did with L'usine's Sustain. Have they done anything similar?

Back in the days they were highly sought-after remix artists as their sound always has a unique touch to it and also because they just knew how to take a tune and basically make it their own. So yeah, there is a lot of it out there that you might enjoy.
Since you like what they did with Sustain, you might want to start by checking out their album called "Appendix". A collection of remixes they did for different artists including Björks "All is full of love" (as kyriakos noted) and the one you mentioned. There is more naturally but if you want to know about it check out their last.fm entry or if you want personal recommendations, just come back here.
