Kruder Dorfmeister – The K&D Sessions TM

Originally released on Studio !K7 Records in 1998, Peter Kruder and Richard Dorfmeister’s groundbreaking release, The K&D Sessions reset the bar for what could be achieved in a compilation. Across an array of original tracks, dubs and infamous K&D Session remixes, the DJ and producer duo took the listener on a smoke-filled blunted journey that flowed flawlessly. Often compared to DJ Shadow’s Endtroducing for its similarly deft craft of rhythm and quoted by Allmusic as “the most blissfully blunted music the world has ever heard”, the album has sold over 1,000,000 copies to date and was included in Spin’s ‘Top 20 albums of 1999′. Their carefully selected inclusions from other artists range from the dub spaciousness of Bomb The Bass’ Bug Powder to the drum n bass pulse of Count Basic’s Speechless. The album has long since been deleted on Vinyl with original 4LP sets changing hands for 300+ on the collectors market and even a bootleg vinyl copy will set a buyer back over 100. Eighteen years later, this legendary album is available as a long overdue 5LP reissue remastered by Bernie Grundman Mastering in Hollywood.
