techno house groove with hard techno atmos

The brainchild and mastermind behind Hidden Recordings; first began the label as a means to take the duo’s music to the public.  Seven years later, through a steady stream of consistent releases, Hidden continues its ascent into one of techno’s most respected and forward thinking labels.
As a producer, Deepak's wide range with Dieter is on display, exemplified by their remix of A. Trebor’s "Quemadura del Sol" played by Adam Beyer at Berghain and featured on Drumcode Radio.  Conversely, the DJ Qu remix of their well-known and beloved release, “Wolkenreise” was licensed by RA’s #1 2012 DJ, Seth Troxler for his NRK Lab03 mix compilation.
As a DJ, he’s left many with ear-to-ear smiles, sweaty bodies, and sore feet through his unrelenting deeper techno style topped by a touch of soul to bring unique warmth to a heavy big room sound.  He’s travelled all over the world and North America for shows, always leaving fans asking for more.  If you want to get the essence of what he’s all about as a DJ, pay a visit to the label's notorious night, appropriately named Rough and Tumble where you hear him play longer sets well into in the early hours.  On a larger scale, a few highlights include being invited to play Electric Zoo 2011, BPM Festival 2011, Official Movement After-parties and a memorable closing set at the Great American Techno Festival 2012.
As the label’s lead, Deepak looks to expand the list of cities and continents to bring a face to the label in the future.

5 Questions with Deepak Sharma:

1.  How did you first get into Electronic music and then move to DJ-ing and production ? 

Like most of us, we all had our 'moment' when we went from fan to wanting to get into the business.  I was lucky to grow up in the Twilo generation in NYC, so I had many inspiring nights where I went home and dreamed what it was like to DJ a party like the one I was just at.  I wanted to be a part of it in anyway, so I started out as a promoter and it grew from there to releasing a CD for a lounge in Brooklyn, meeting Dieter Krause in the process, and then starting Hidden Recordings.

2.  Tell us about the "Rough and Tumble" events.  

The night is very symbolic of Hidden Recordings overall - from our catalog to the vibe we try to push through high octane DJ sets well into the night.  We are fucking relentless on these nights.  We play for our hardcore fans and ourselves.  Everyone has a singular focus, from the DJs to the fans - how can we collectively take the party to the next level?  Give a listen to any of our releases, or podcasts, and you'll get that down and dirty, raw, sweaty feel of Rough and Tumble.  It's hours and hours of rolling techno thunder....Take a deep breath, and dive in for the next 6-7 hours of pure mayhem.   

3.  Hidden Recordings, your label, has quite a discography of with some of most prominent producers and remixers in modern techno.  What was your driving force to start a label?  

Initially, it was a platform for Dieter Krause and I to release our own music and over time, we decided to invite like-minded artists of those we enjoyed.  It's grown into this family with artists all over the globe.  But all with a singular focus of releasing underground techno with some house mixed in just to keep our fans on their toes.  I'm a lucky guy to see this all take shape, and to feel the enthusiasm grow with each release.  We are blessed to have so many prolific artists respect us enough to provide fantastic remixes to up-and-coming artists.  It's a killer combination!

4.  Hidden releases both digital as well as vinyl on the regular.  Why do you feel its important to continue pressing records?  

I still play vinyl, as recently as in June for 4 hours with Savas Pascalidis who is exclusively vinyl only.  So many prolific DJs still play vinyl, so it's important to keep vinyl alive for them, and me!

Also, ask any producer if they would prefer to release on vinyl or digital.  Bet you 100% would prefer vinyl and consider it much bigger accomplishment.  Pressing vinyl isn't easy.  You have to deal with the cost, distribution, pressing on time etc.  You have to want to do it.  But when I hear somebody in Japan or Berlin just picked up our latest record, it means the world to us, especially the artist.  I rather be on release 30 than release 75 of digital only.  Anybody can release digital, that's not really breathing life into the underground.  Simply put, vinyl separates the men from the boys and you legitimately call yourself a record label.  We take a lot of pride in that.  

5.  Any closing thoughts; what does the future hold for you and Hidden?  

I feel like we're really in a great groove right now and it's just the beginning.  So much more to do - on the release front and out there DJing sharing our vision.  We want to make sure all the pockets of techno in North America are satisfied with HR and move out towards Europe and South America and Asia from there.  A lot of great response with possible gigs to take our vibe all over and hopefully Europe in the Fall.  Watch out for our next few releases as well.  A Hidden tradition with up and comers with great remixers such as Jonas Kopp, Truncate and Hans Bouffmyhre!!  Stay close...
