Gilles Peterson played the track at first on his famous now called Worldwide-show. In 1996, Berlin label !K7 released the legendary „DJ Kicks“, which became a ubiquious soundtrack in public life up until today, with its unique blend of downtempo, instrumental rap, dub, bossanova, drum n ́bass and everything in between. The compilation „K&D Sessions“ (!K7, 1998) followed and became a global bestseller, with more than one million copies sold. Today, it is considered one of the defining albums of the 1990s. 2010 saw the 16th anniversary of Kruder & Dorfmeister and their record label G-Stone Recordings which resulted in the release of the "Sixteen Fucking Years Of G-Stone Recordings“ compilation and the development of the "K&D Sessions Live“ show. The show included visuals by long time G-Stone VJ collaborator Fritz Fitzke and MC performances by Earl Zinger and MC Ras T-Weed. With performances at The Big Chill, Berlin Festival and numerous other high profile festivals, the "K&D Sessions Live“ show became an instant success and a world tour ensued.
