A label portrait of Hidden Hawaii in Groove, text by Philipp Weichenrieder with a photograph by Virginie Luthardt. It lists the label as run by Felix K and DJ Wan 2 in Berlin, its style as electronica, dub, techno, jungle and drum and bass, and its sublabels as Hidden Hawaii Digital, Hidden Hawaii LTD, QNS, Solaris Series and SUB. Felix K describes concealment as the point: the producers behind sublabels such as QNS are mostly left unnamed, which keeps the parent label out of easy categories, and he calls the many sublabels the main concept. He founded the label in 1998 to press dubplates of his own tracks, turned it into a drum and bass party with DJ Wan 2, and in 2008 the two decided to revive it as a label. The piece announces his album Flowers of Destruction as due on Hidden Hawaii LTD in the middle of the year.
