Kruder & Dorfmeister

In the mid-90s, the K&D Sessions, released on the peerless Studio K7, effectively became the blueprint for electronic music that felt just as at home in a smoky living room as it did on a world-class sound system. Peter Kruder and Richard Dorfmeister are the undisputed masters of the ‘Viennese sound’, a blend of smoked-out trip-hop, jazz-infused dub, and bossa nova that managed to define an entire era without ever feeling dated. Their rare Manchester appearances are always treated with a certain level of reverence by those who spent a significant portion of the last three decades chasing that specific brand of horizontal euphoria.
