ABSTRACT
Peter Kruder, whose father was Italian, was brought up by a single mother who was a postal worker. He also played guitar as a teenager and hung out with another boy his age, Rodney Hunter, who later became an important presence on the Viennese scene. Peter Kruder and Sugar B were joined by Hunter and started doing gigs till they changed their interest from traditional, guitar-led rock to hip-hop and other forms of electronic music. Their first record, Swound Vibes, was made for GiG Records, owned by Markus Spiegel, with whom Falco's bandleader released his records. Peter Kruder and Richard Dorf-meister greatest renown is in remixing; hence, it is worth devoting some attention to this form of music. Remix belongs to an ostensibly intertextual artistic production. When Peter Kruder and Richard Dorf-meister started their careers, Falco's bandleader was still active, the 'studious musicians' viewed him as an anachronism.
