Reviews from those who've had a chance to listen to the tracks:

[I]" Cowboy music for astronauts! Nice."

  • Greg Shiff (The Vacationist, Persona Records, Ironbox, Brooklyn, New York)

"Dust in space original and palace in the sun are fantastic tracks, congratulations! Full support 8/10" -Juame Pages (Regular, Irregular Label, Barcelona, Spain)

"Great stuff, all three tracks are solid work. The deep, melodic Garam Masala and Palace In The Sun are my favorites – perferct tunes for the spring time. Garam Masala will work well on the dancefloor for sure. Dust In Space works well like the two other tunes but sounds more like a mix of a couple different themes. All nice work." -Karri O (Resopal, Monorecords, Plong, Lebensfreude, Helsinki, Finland)

" Palace In The Sun is beautiful, and most definitely going in the crate!" -Royale (Dope Recordings, Denver CO)

"I'm feeling the "Garam Masala" track. Great rhythm - really rolls along." -Tyler Stadius (Vancouver, BC)

"These sound great" -Ben Korbel (Sounds.net, Sydney Australia)

"Love these. Deep, hypnotic but with a nice groovy kick to them! Nice work"

[B]Here is the review in DJ Times: [/B]

[I]Sharma & Krause drop an eccentric underground production that delivers smooth vibes while still keeping a bouncey feeling. Three tracks grace this EP with Dust In Space being our pick here with its Full-bodied bass, subtle tribal groove and haunting spoken vocals. Palace In The Sun delivers a little more of that chill house sound withits way cool guitar piece. Finally Garam Masala is a dark drum-laden piece with bits of electro hits throughout. This EP is for the chill in you.

A little background on Hidden Recordings...

[B]Hidden Recordings[/B] - [URL="http://www.hidden-recordings.com/"][COLOR=paleturquoise]http://www.hidden-recordings.com[/COLOR][/URL] - was formed in early 2006 as a platform for Deepak and Dieter to expand their sound, which can be categorized from anything minimal to deep techno, abstract and groovy with touches of psychedelica, further into the dance community.

The duo met shortly after Deepak released his deeper atmospheric minimal mix compilation ([B]Boogaloo. Brooklyn. 3:23pm[/B], for a lounge in Brooklyn named Boogaloo. Dieter (who also produces under the monikor [B]Laplaceausoleil[/B]) had a track on the mix. The compilation garnered worldwide praise with reviews in [I][B]De:bug, DJ Times, URB, Remix, BPM, ClubbingSpain.com, Beatfactor, Sound Revolt, Resident Advisor and Raveline[/B][/I] to name a few. From there, the two began to share music files and the idea to produce tracks together formed.

Since the inception of the label, the duo has found success in building the label in a short time. 2006 saw tracks of theirs reach [B]Top 20 downloads [/B]on [B]Kompakt-MP3 [/B]as well as [B]Top 10 downloads [/B]on Japan 's [B]HRFQ[/B]. In 2007, they had their track, [I][B]"Blow"[/B][/I] signed to [B]UK label Four-Twenty's Music 02 Mix Compilation[/B] and have had releases reviewed in magazines such as UK 's [B]Mixmag[/B], and USA 's [B]DJ Times [/B]and [B]XLR8R[/B]. [B]Spinner.com[/B] covered the duo twice as well and compared their style to [B]Lusine, Superpitcher and Booka Shade[/B]. Finally, the duo has seen their tracks leave an imprint on fellow DJs globally with releases reaching as high as [B]#3[/B] on the [B]Balance Record Pool Chart[/B].

A big win came in mid 2007 when Deepak and Dieter won the contract for producing music for Singapore 's [B]Ogilvy & Mather [/B]advertising agency for the [B]Heineken Global [/B]account, beating out established publishing groups for the prize.

[I][B]"Kings and Castles"[/B][/I] is the first EP of 2008, and has received rave reviews from fellow DJs, Producers and Industry. Forthcoming on the label will be releases from well respected and established producers, [B]Gustavo Lamas, Karri O, and Lineas De Nazca[/B], with Deepak and Dieter on remix duties.
