South Coast DJ’s and producers Sekklow and SDM joined forces in 2011 to create Area Zero.

Sekklow and SDM are both well established DJ’s, having played sets in Brighton, Bournemouth and Bristol’s rave scene as well as regular slots based in Portsmouth playing alongside some massive bass weight and Dub DJ’s to the tune of David Rodigan, Rusko, Skream and Breakage.

HIDDEN MASTERS became a trio in Glasgow 2009 and have perfected their idiosyncratic blend of power-pop, psychedelia and rock'n'roll, catching ears and turning heads with their immediate songcraft, lively arrangements and glorious three-part harmonies, all delivered in an electrifying stage act, The trinity of Dave Dixon (lead guitar/vocal), Alpha Mitchell (bass guitar/vocal) and Johnny Wolfe (percussion/vocal) were recently featured on a 'Shindig!' magazine CD, and are recording a single to be released by State Records in Spring 2010.
