Peter Kruder and Richard Dorfmeister, hailing from Vienna, Austria, have left an indelible mark on the global electronic music scene as the duo Kruder & Dorfmeister. Since forming in the early 1990s, they have become renowned for their signature blend of downtempo, trip-hop, dub, and nu jazz, combining intricate beats with lush atmospheres and cinematic soundscapes. Their breakthrough came with the release of the "G-Stoned" EP in 1993, followed by the legendary "DJ-Kicks" (1996) and "The K&D Sessions" (1998), a double album widely considered a classic of electronic and chillout music.

Their remix work for artists such as Depeche Mode, Madonna, Lamb, and Roni Size garnered international acclaim, solidifying their reputation as masterful producers and remixers. Kruder & Dorfmeister are also known for their influential G-Stone Recordings label, which has nurtured talent and contributed to Vienna's status as a hub of sophisticated electronic music. Their limited but carefully crafted live performances are celebrated for their immersive aura and blend of audio-visual artistry.

While both members have pursued solo projects—Peter Kruder with Peace Orchestra and Richard Dorfmeister with Tosca—their collaborative legacy remains a touchstone for future generations of producers and listeners seeking laid-back grooves and innovative sonic textures. The duo’s ability to fuse genres and create timeless, emotive tracks has ensured their status as pioneers in the evolving world of electronic music.
