About

Renowned for their ability to translate any tune into a signature remix, the talents of Austria-based Peter Kruder and Richard Dorfmeister have earned them a much-deserved worldwide respect. These chill-out room favorites have reworked the sounds of such eclectic artists as Roni Size, Bone Thugs-N-Harmony, Depeche Mode and Bomb the Bass, glazing various tracks into creamy morsels of downbeat goodness. Merging earthy, dub-inflected effects with bright, otherworldly synth textures, these masters of "deep" turn out smooth tracks blended like charcoal drawings. Deftly balancing the positive with the negative on any given aural composition, Kruder & Dorfmeister detail the best way to make the blunt sound beautiful.
