Kruder & Dorfmeister, named after members Peter Kruder and Richard Dorfmeister, is an Austrian duo most known for their downtempo-dub remixes of pop, hip-hop and drum and bass songs.

Their mixes are usually flavored with sampler-processed vocals, deep bassline dub, trip-hop elements, bossa grooves and smoothly-shaped echoes. Some of their better-known works include "High Noon," "Original Bedroom Rockers," and remixes of Madonna's "Nothing Really Matters," Depeche Mode's "Useless," Count Basic's "Speechless" and Roni Size's "Heroes". Many of their remixes are collected on the double album The K & D Sessions.
Although best known internationally for their remixing work, the duo gained their primary reputation in Europe for their live DJ performances and their DJ mix album for the DJ Kicks series DJ-Kicks: Kruder & Dorfmeister. Kruder and Dorfmeister have their own recording studio in Vienna, and label G-Stone Recordings through which they release many of their own albums.
