The trip-hop production duo of Peter Kruder and Richard Dorfmeister
has gained more fame for its stellar remixes and DJ sets than as producers of
its own work. By engineering reworkings of tracks by a cast of artists ranging
from William Orbit and Bomb the Bass to Bone Thugs-N-Harmony and United Future
Organization, the Austrian duo became one of the most respected names in the
dancefloor community.
Kruder & Dorfmeister's standing increased with the issue of two acclaimed 1996
DJ albums: Conversions for Spray/BMG and DJ Kicks for Belgium's Stud!o K7. After
forming their own G-Stone Records, the pair found a distribution deal with Quango
and released the G-Stoned EP in mid-1996. Though they remained busy with remix
work and DJ gigs during 1997, it wasn't until late 1998 that another release
appeared, The Kruder & Dorfmeister Sessions. Dorfmeister also appears in the
side-project Tosca with Rupert Huber, while Kruder released an album on G-Stoned
in 1999 as Peace Orchestra. [See Also: Tosca, Peace Orchestra]
