Kruder & Dorfmeister
Kruder & Dorfmeister, named after Peter Kruder and Richard Dorfmeister, is an
Austrian duo most known for their
downtempo/
dub remixes of
pop,
hip-hop, and
drum and bass songs. Their remixes are often flavored with
bossanova or
jazz sounds; some of their better-known works include remixes of
Madonna's "Nothing Really Matters,"
Depeche Mode's "Useless,"
Bone Thugs-N-Harmony's "1st of tha Month," and
Roni Size's "Heroes." Many of them are collected on the double album The K & D Sessions.
Kruder & Dorfmeister are less well-known for producing and recording their own tracks. Dorfmeister works with Rupert Huber under the name Tosca; Kruder has released a solo album under the name Peace Orchestra.
Kruder & Dorfmeister own their own record studio, G-Stone Records, which releases some of their own albums, as well as albums by Peace Orchestra, Dub Club, and Sugar B.
