Kruder & Dorfmeister’s story is not just a story of refusal and renunciation. As the two started making music together in the early 1990s, there was hardly anything that the two didn’t do “wrong”, and therefore, exactly right. Since the beginning, the goal was to produce a very personalized sound, in which satisfying guidelines of genre was secondary. Peter Kruder ultimately proved that with his productions of DJ Hell’s celebrated “Teufelswerk” and “Zukunftsmusik” albums or the wonderful releases under his own name for Compost, Macro and Gigolo Records. Even Dorfmeister’s Tosca ceaselessly minimalist, almost dadaist tonal studies clearly point in that direction as his collaborations on the acclaimed “The Exchange” album.
So the two are happiest when people take their music and their DJ sets for what they are: odes to hearing, feeling, sensing music and tonal language, which does not function like the many spoken languages of the world, but rather as body language: universal, global, unifying. From 2017 to 2024 K&D performed more than 250 sold out audio visual shows all over the world.
Performing the K&D Sessions live with a band is the new adventure K&D are working on. This year, K&D will tour the world with the K&D Sessions live and they're bringing the legendary show to Chicago this fall!
