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...

Nightfall (Original Mix)

We are proud to present 13 years of From 0-1.

This compilation celebrates 13 quality artists we respect and admire around the world. We see the effect of Techno music as a global phenomenon. It shatters borders, and eliminates barriers between us, ultimately bringing us closer to each other.

A small cross section of those artists are represented right here. With the end of the pandemic in sight, we know you are all eager to get back into the club. We wish you a quick and rapid rebound from all of this as soon as possible, and hope these tracks make your bass bins bang. Thank you so much for your support these last 13 years.

Techno craftsman Andrei Morant holds a focus as sharp and abductive as his sound.  A paramount figure in the Houston underground since the early 90s, the North American artist also known as Jack Mackrel quickly established himself as a professional.  Morant started DJing in 1986, and only three years after his first gig in 1990, embarked on his production career.  Over 50 releases later, he is now recognized world round for his catalog of insurgent beats, and is featured on respected labels such as Planet Rhythm Records , Starkstrom Schallplatten, and Gynoid Audio.  Never faltering in his commitment to innovative techno, Morant unleashed a creature of his own machination – Scope Recordings.   His new label and recent production endeavors reflect his weighty history, as well as his knowledge of avant media and style, resulting in a finely tailored, powerful impression.

5 Questions Interview:

1.  You've been around as a DJ for a long time, starting in 1986.  What was the impetus for starting back then and what kind of music were you playing?       

I started playing the drums at a very early age, 3 or 4 years old i think, by the time I was 15 I had really gotten into dance music, being introduced to it by my older brother and his friends, they where avid clubbers and collectors of records. I basically became the resident d.j. at all of their house parties, which where about twice a week.  I was playing all the typical 80's dance tracks from the time.

2.  Fast forward 28 years and here you are, still at it.  In fact, this Studio Session you just played at a certain well known club in Berlin is clear evidence.  How was that show, and in all your time as a DJ, how does it rank?       

It was great, staff is extremely professional and accommodating. The crowd is intense and very responsive, everyone there dances their ass off!!  I will say that playing from 9 am till noon on a Sunday afternoon is a different experience all together.  As far as how I would rank it, man I really have no idea.  I've had so many great gigs over the years, it's really hard to make a list.  But it'd definitely be way up there.

3)  Being involved in DJing and producing Techno for as long as you have, are there times where you've ever wanted to walk away from it?       

Yeah, actually I have walked away twice.  The first time was in about 1993 I quit for about three years, I still dabbled in the studio but was not really active in the music scene. Then in 2004 I quit again, I had extremely busy years before and kind of got burnt out.  The lifestyle is a lot harder then most people imagine.  I think it's important to have a balance  between family life and your music career, and I feel now i can do it the way I want, take the gigs I want, make the music I want ,when I want to.  Music is not my career it's my hobby now and I have a lot more freedom and have a clearer head, no pressure.

 4)  What's your message to people when it comes to staying inspired and interested in all things Techno?         

For me it's just finding those tracks, you know the ones you hear and you say to your self "Well shit, back to the drawing board for me". Those are the thing that keep me inspired.  There are thousands of great techno producers out there and everyone of them is an inspiration to me.

5) Here at From 0-1 we are happy to have you on board as an artist, not only for this exclusive podcast, but also as a remixer for Milkplant's 'This is not Reality' 12" EP coming midyear.  Are there any other notable releases you have in the works you can leak to us right now?

Ha ha, you should have asked me two months ago, I had tons of releases , 'Falling Down' on my imprint Scope Recordings, and 'Density' also on Scope.  A great E.P. 'No Sterile Plans' on Take More Music, also I just had my debut release on Naked Lunch "Game Over".  A remix for DJ Shiva on Different is Different, remix for Unn on Teggno, pretty much all in the last 6 weeks. I do have about 4 E.P.'s I'm compiling for other labels right now but I can't really go into them. Oh! I'm returning to one of my my old label groups run by a very good friend of mine from the late 90's, currently working on some 133 bpm bangers that will be sure to "PUNISH" some dance floors. Very excited about that. All in all i can say that I am having a blast, and really excited about the future.

INTERVIEW:

1.  You are originally from Virginia where you came up in the punk/hardcore scene. From there, what drew you into electronic music?

Funny you should bring that up! The tail-end of the podcast sort of goes back in time and explains that in reverse. If the listener sticks around for the last ten minutes or so you’ll see what I mean: Housey Industrial to Industrialy Hardcore to one of my early high-school Punk anthems. 
	Even before I got into Punk I was interested in Kraftwerk, Human League, Missing Persons and lots of that early 80’s synth music which actually led me to Punk/Hardcore. Around that same time I started listening to early Hip Hop as well. The radio stations in Virginia that played Hip Hop also played club music late at night, so I was hearing Chicago House, Hip House, Acid and stuff like that. A friend turned me on to Skinny Puppy which seemed to be a combination of all these things I liked—and I sought out more music in that vein. Certain groups like On-U Sound System bridged the gap between Industrial music and House—so really all of these genres are in some way connected for me. I saw a lot of similarities in the Techno/Electronic music scene to the Punk/HC scene in that they were both very Do-It-Yourself and done on their own terms at the time (xerox zines / vinyl / independent distribution / etc). 


2.  You've maintained a pretty prolific output for the last, nearly, 2 decades.  What is some of the art, music, etc. that keeps you motivated today?

Well, my output has definitely slowed down over the years but I am constantly finding inspiration in things new and old. 
	Art-wise I am big fan of the Dada movement. It’s really had such an impact on graphic design, activism, and even the art of sampling and sound collage. Hannah Hoch, Kurt Schwitters, and John Heartfield are all favorites who motivate my art as well as music. 
	Music wise I find motivation in lots of different genres: Dub, Industrial, House, Doom, Funk, Techno, Black Metal, Hardcore, Experimental, Hip Hop, Blues... Whatever.
Robert Hood, Wolves In The Throne Room, Burial Hex, Soft Metals, King Tubby, Jimi Hendrix, Deepchild, Negura Bunget, and Cabaret Voltaire are all equally inspiring to me. What I find most interesting is when artists say fuck it to conventions and blur the lines between genres or push the boundaries a bit further. 
	What is happening in the world and in my life (both good and bad) have always fueled the creativity as well. 



3.  There have been some great releases and remixes from you recently on labels like Minus, AmAm, Thoughtless, etc.. What do you have coming up in the pipeline?

Thanks! I have a few remixes coming up. I just did a couple for fellow Portlander JAK which will be released on Trapez this year. I am really excited for JAK’s release and have been a long time fan of that label. Also, remixes for Jay Zoney and the UK synth duo Rescue A Family are coming. Other than that, I’ve been working on a project that is more experimental, as well as getting back to some of my own techno stuff. 


4.  Any chance of future Barada/Bryan Zentz live sets, or possibly a resurrection of Disruptor?

Oh man... It’s been almost a decade since I’ve done one of those. I’m not even sure of how I would go about doing it these days as my setup and way of making music has changed so much. It does cross my mind pretty often though... maybe one of these days (I think I said that last time) : P
	About Disruptor: I think that label will probably continue resting in peace in the Techno label graveyard. The goal with that was to fuse different influences: mainly Dub music with Techno but in a different way than say the Basic Channel school (though I’m obviously a huge fan of that approach). The label pretty much died when my distributor went under. Nowadays, there seems to be plenty of things Dub related out and about—I don’t really know how Disruptor would fit into the scheme of things and if there would be a need for it. Having a label again would be cool though, mainly to be able to present things a certain way. But I would probably start with something fresh and new. 


5.  Outside of music, what else do you like to do in your free time?  

When there is free time to be had, I mainly ride my bike, rent movies, try and keep my cats out of trouble, sometimes be social, sometimes be antisocial, drink overpriced coffee drinks, check out a show or club here and there, and do my best to remain mindful. And on that note, the movie rental recommendation of the month is: The Railway Man.

Seattle/San Francisco based Techno label, From 0-1 issue "Time Dilation", a 12" vinyl/digital EP by label director, and co-owner Milkplant (Justin Pennell) of the San Francisco Bay Area.  Andrei Morant and From 0-1 co-owner Sone join in as remixers.  Including an endless groove and two locked grooves, this piece of vinyl is meant to be as utilitarian for the vinyl DJ as possible.  “Dimension 4” starts off the EP with a classic big room percussive Techno vibe, closing in an endless groove.  Following is Andrei Morant's absolutely punishing treatment of Dimension 4, a tearing lead, and searing percussion point to the main room.  Two locked grooves, one percussive, the other synth based close out side '0'.  On the flip side, ‘1’,  Milkplant's “Spherical” reps a tight future-retro vibe; elements of old Motor City Techno dominate with a bit of grit to keep it dirty.  Sone dials in a perfect toned down, more expansive, and hypnotic interpretation of Spherical showcasing slowly evolving filters and modulation fit for the wee hours of the morning.  “Plasmic” is included as a digital extra in this release a tough, noisy, and a little tripped out with a bit of swing to keep them on the floor.

Electric Indigo - From 0-1 Studio Sessions Vol 084

Will and Persistence against Vitamin B Deficit
Masses over masses try themselves at being a DJ and in the production of techno. Being a newcomer in this overcrowded market doesn't seem appealing at first sight. Putting in a lot of effort to establish one's reputation is not everyone's cup of tea. To stand out of the masses one must buckle down or have the proper Vitamin B. When Vitamins are lacking, what especially counts are a strong will and persistence. Those are guarantors for the opportunity to exhibit one's talent eventually. The rise of Krenzlin followed this principle on one of the surest Newcomer-Floors in the world. After Sebastian Krenzlin started DJing in 2003, it took several years for him to eventually be discovered as a newcomer after his participation at the Tresor Award of Pacou in 2009. Since he played in the Tresor for the first time in September 2010, he is counted among the steady Ensemble of Berlin's legendary club.
With the series of events „New Faces“ and three allies he forms a platform for the performance of new faces. Every first Wednesday in the month he starts his own special event under this flag seeking for new talents who impersonate this spirit.
Even as a producer Krenzlin build up a reputation since 2011. If one reads the list of labels under which he has released since, it is hard to believe that such a fantastic discography can be formed in this short amount of time. With Synewave,Nachtstrom Schallplatten,Driving Forces Recordings,Starkstrom Schallplatten, Mastertraxx Records, Slap Jaxx or IF?Records the best pools for exceptional, underground profiles of techno-acts of the last years string together. In the spring of 2012 a co-production with 88uw and Synewave followed and came like a bombshell exactly like the one countless times before in the Tresor...

Krenzlin - From 0-1 Studio Session Vol 087

Since being introduced to electronic music back in the early 90's, David has been hooked. At the age of 15 he started DJing and playing out at local underground events and raves around the Southern California area. You would've found him spinning various styles from house, acid, & techno to hardcore techno.

After a few years of DJing he then decided to learn to produce his own music, which landed him his first releases on labels such as Monoid, Stimulus, 4 Track & local label Droid Recordings. Since being associated with local event production group Droid Behavior in 2003, you can find him as a resident at the infamous Interface warehouse events as well as a regular producer for Droid Recordings. Over the years his music has gained worldwide attention and onto the playlists of many big players which eventually led him to gigs at some of the worlds biggest clubs including Berghain in Berlin and Fabric in London. He is also now regularly touring all over the world in Australia, Japan, Mexico, Canada, Central & South America, all throughout Europe and the U.S.A.

In early 2011 he started a project called 'Truncate' which focuses on the deeper, and more raw side of techno. His Truncate releases have been gain support from big players such as, Ben Klock, Marcel Dettmann, Chris Liebing, Speedy J, DVS1, Luke Slater, Ben Sims, Modeselektor and many more.

With his heavy remix, production and touring schedule there is no slowing down in the near future for David as he continues to shape his own sound, putting Droid Behavior and Los Angeles on the techno map.

d_func. is the dark side of the Berlin based Techno producer Alexander Kowalski.  He is a German techno producer who elegantly fuses elements from classic Detroit and historical Berlin techno. His affection for sophisticated bass lines, deep beats and challenging arrangements breathes new life into techno. He knows perfectly how to program his tracks to sound straight, deep, housy, dubby or funky - and this versatility is one of the reasons for his reputation with both ravers and underground-oriented techno nerds.

Alexander Kowalski has come a long way. A techno producer and live performer since 1997, he has racked up an impressive volume of work including four solo albums, countless singles and remixes. It all began in the early 90's in Berlin as Kowalski caught wind of the first techno releases that found their way over from Detroit and New York. Soon he was producing his own material and making his debut live appearances at Berlin's premier techno club Tresor. It was here that he got in touch with Pacou, resulting in his first releases on the Tresor label under the pseudonym DisX3. Around that time, he also teamed up with Stassy of Sender Berlin in a collaboration called Double X.

Not long after, his first full-length release "Echoes" appeared on Kanzleramt (2001). But his big breakthrough came with the release of his follow-up album "Progress" in 2002. In the same year he also scored a hit with "Hot Spot" featuring Raz Ohara. Evolving and honing his production skills with every release, Kowalski was soon getting enormous acclaim for his innovative sound, which combined technical prowess and precision with a strong sense of emotion. After his third album "Response" in 2003, he shifted his focus to performing live across the globe and providing remixes for such artists as Agoria, Dave Gahan, Funk D'Void, Sascha Funke and Paul Kalkbrenner.

Kowalski's action-packed live sets are always powerfully intense. Having played in cities all over the world, he is a pro performer behind his gear who knows how to rock out the dancefloor with bass-driven techno, deep harmonies and straight beats, pulling out all the stops with his club anthem "Speaker Attack". His live skills as well as his exceptional discography have earned him a place as a favourite among critics who, over the years, have awarded him the titles of best producer, best live act and two-time nominee for the German dance award.

  Brooklyn native John Massey has been attempting to damage eardrums for almost 20 years.  A child of the 80s, John transplanted to Los Angeles as a teen.  There he discovered an emerging underground dance scene and was infected with an interest in electronic music.  John soon founded Sound Rehab Productions, connected with influential local promoters and artists such as Omar Ojeda (Darius Aleksander), Robin Porter, Drumcell, Ron-D-Core, Raiz (Acid Circus) and began coordinating techno events and working the DJ circuit throughout the southern California area.  Today John resides in Seattle.
  John is the kind of unassuming artists that earns respect rather than demands it, keeping his head down and focusing on his craft, trusting his instincts to keep the dance floor moving.  His current set consists of a live/dj hybrid that enables John to creatively blend a wide variety of techno, house, minimal and experimental sounds.  As a producer John tackles a variety of sounds ranging from his previous hip hop efforts under Dysposable Heroes, to his recent techno projects under his own name and previously as Indispensable Villains.  Heʼs affiliated with Seattleʼs From 0-1, a conceptual label which he represents in his various endeavors.  Heʼs released on various labels such as HardSignal, Subspec, From 0-1, Subsensory and his own Sound Rehab Recordings.  No matter the genre he has always enjoyed working with various artists giving him the opportunity to make new friends and take in new influences.  With several new projects on horizon 2018 looks to be a productive year for John so keep look out...

Truth is stranger than fiction they say, 2020 has proven it. This is not the year we asked for, but it's the year we received. Remarkably, even as clubs and social events across the world shuttered, the spirit of Techno remained alive in living rooms, bedrooms, and basements planet-wide. We hope you still draw inspiration, and excitement in the culture we've collectively nurtured for so many years. Before long we will see each other again, hug and kiss one another, and reconnect under more auspicious stars. For now, we wait. Luckily, we have new music for you to pass the time. We present our latest vinyl 12-inch record release: 'Life Under Lockdown', featuring tracks by Kessell (1/2 of the legendary Spanish duo, Exium), Joton (founder of Newrhythmic Rec.), HD Substance (co-founder of Sub_tl, and teacher at the Bass Valley), and JX-216 (co-founder of From 0-1). Modern, syncopated Techno for the new world. 

Vinyl will be available from our Bandcamp (http://www.from0-1.com) and at reputable dealers around the world.
