Kruder & Dorfmeister are an Austrian electronic duo known for shaping the 1990s downtempo and trip‑hop sound with their smooth, bass‑driven production and atmospheric style.

Kruder & Dorfmeister began collaborating in early‑1990s Vienna, drawing on influences such as hip‑hop, rare groove, dub, and new wave to create a distinctive, genre‑blending approach. Their debut G‑Stoned and later releases like DJ‑Kicks and The K&D Sessions gained global recognition for their warm, organic textures and meticulous sampling. The duo became sought‑after remixers for major artists and helped define Vienna’s downbeat scene. Their work remains influential, and they continue to explore new musical directions.
