[edit] History

Richard Dorfmeister and Rupert Huber first met in school, and began experimenting with tape machines, Indian music, and poetry lyrics, under the name of Dehli9^[1]. After school, Dorfmeister and Huber went their separate ways: Dorfmeister began producing and DJing with Peter Kruder, and Huber worked in the experimental music scene. In 1994, Dorfmeister and Huber released their first 12", entitled "Chocolate Elvis"^[2], on Kruder and Dorfmeister's G-Stone Recordings.
