16 years? It's been a long time, but G-Stone never left you without a beat to step to. G-Stone Recordings has been at the forefront of the European electronic music scene for 16 years. The success of its founders Peter Kruder and Richard Dorfmeister (Kruder & Dorfmeister, Peace Orchestra and Tosca) is well documented and their projects both together and individually have been huge worldwide success stories.

Smoke filled their eyes and out dubstepped a series of idiosyncratic artists that have never followed the various trends they allegedly instigated, never suited the pigeonholes eagerly applied by trainspotting media and were certainly never merely the site-specific phenomenon, implied by the constant evocation of "Vienna" whenever the label's music is mentioned.

Sixteen F**king Years Of G-Stone Recordings gathers the complete artist roster of G-Stone and specialists for every kind of beat: turntable masters Urbs and DJ DSL bring Hip Hop and comedy to the table while the productions of Peter Kruder, Rodney Hunter and Makossa & Megablast contain every nuance of dance beats from techno and house to cosmic funk, not to mention an impressive mastery of all the dance-floor-exotica from Africa, Brazil and the rest of Latin America.

The G-Stone range is rounded off by Stereotyp and d.kay presenting the post drum & bass interfaces of digi-technology, dubstep and cut-up riddims as well as the glitch-wonk-whatever present. Sugar B gets all wacky, Marsmobil sound Air-esk and Richard Dorfmeister & Rupert Huber's Tosca is meditative and experimental all at the same time.
