About

The legendary chillout duo is back after 22-year hiatus, and we couldn't be happier. The K&D Sessions album has become something of a legend in the world of chillout and downtempo music. A testament to the genre's viability and a compilation of remixes that lives on in the top ten lists of chillout fans everywhere, and then they were gone. The duo Peter Kruder and Richard Dorfmeister went their separate ways and formed new groups, Tosca and Peace Orchestra, both fantastic in their own right.

1995 is not just an album title, but a moment in time, when the genre of chillout/downtempo was at its best, and G-Stone Recordings was at the front of the pack releasing stellar tunes from a myriad of talent that still holds up to this day. G-Stone will once again become a lighthouse for those in seek of high quality reclining music with the release of Kruder & Dorfmeister's 1995. After discovering a box of DATS (Digital Audio Tapes) in their old G-Stone studio (or so the story goes), the duo reunited and decided to release a new recording. The origin story here seems a little heavy-handed, but we will forgive them because it's Kruder and fucking Dorfmeister. Was this a lost album recovered from dusty tapes, or is that a metaphor? Who cares - it's here.

So what can you expect from 1995? In many ways, this record feels like they genuinely did pick up some old tapes and rework them into an album and bring them up to today's studio standards. 1995 is an amalgamation of their most pleasing sounds, vibes, and beats for those that love that jazzy, hip hop instrumental, mid-90s trip-hoppy sound. The loops, the bass lines, the samples, the breakbeats, the reverb, it's all here, and it's lovely to hear it again. K&D don't try to reinvent themselves with this album, but instead give us more of their best selves and more gems for our collection. — (via Magnetic Mag)
