The fearless leader of the globally recognized and respected techno and house imprint, Hidden Recordings.

So often in life, the best things are not immediately obvious. Surrounded by mediocrity, their appeal is irresistible upon closer examination. New York City’s Hidden Recordings has exemplified this enduring truth since its founding in 2006. The brainchild of Deepak Sharma and his production partner, Dieter Krause, Hidden Recordings began as a platform for the enterprising duo’s releases and in 2008 expanded into releasing the work of a gifted, international cohorts. Because the imprint’s focus has always been on releasing top notch techno, its patient, quality-based approach has earned Hidden Recordings the support of renowned and diverse talents such as Adam Beyer, Marcel Dettmann, Seth Troxler, and legions more.

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 notorious label 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, a memorable closing set at the Great American Techno Festival 2012 and a magical debut at Output in September 2013. He's travelled far and near and is on a mission to make sure all techno communities know his label's sound.
