Critical reception

"Zero One" was well received by most critics. Kassi Chrys of Dancing Astronaut praised the song, calling it otherworldly and writing that K?d "continues to produce vibrant, eclectic music that has stolen the hearts of listeners across the world." [1] Your EDM's Matthew Meadow noted that the song seemed to be influenced by french electro and hardcore artists as well as various "classic rave sounds". [2] Writing for Nest HQ , Jordan Mafi noted the song as "completely out of left field for k?d", finalising that the song was an "excellent, innovative direction for k?d." [3] Andre Waguespack of Run the Trap commended the song, calling it a "true raver’s dream" and as a breath of fresh air amongst a large amount of mundane Soundcloud-based electronic music artists. [4] EDM Sauce's Sophia Medina described the song as a "festival worthy" track and that it would become a favourite from the artist, further commenting that the song was an "uplifting single that will surely keep your adrenaline rushing throughout its entirety." [5]

French house is a style of house music originally produced by French artists, a popular strand of the late 1990s and 2000s European dance music scene and a form of Euro disco. The genre has also been referred to as "French touch", "filter house" and "tekfunk" over the years. The defining characteristics of the sound are heavy reliance on filter and phaser effects both on and alongside samples from late 1970s and early 1980s American or European disco tracks, causing thicker harmonic foundations than the genre's descendants. Most tracks in this vein feature steady 4

beats with a tempo range of 110–130 beats per minute. French house tends to be confused with a genre known as future funk, although they are not the same genre.

Hardcore is a subgenre of electronic dance music based in Belgian New Beat industrial style of Techno, that originated in the Netherlands in the 1990s. It is distinguished by faster tempos, the intensity of the kicks and the synthesized bass, the rhythm and the atmosphere of the themes, the usage of saturation and experimentation close to that of industrial dance music. It would spawn subgenres such as gabber.

Remixes of "Zero One" also received considerable praise, with Noiseporn's Lennon Cihak describing Voliik & Slooze's remix as an equally "powerful track that pulverises the entire frequency spectrum", further writing that the remix kept K?d's signature sound while "completely placing a unique spin on the original." [6] Brian Bonavoglia of This Song Slaps reviewed Atlast's remix, describing the remix as one that "completely transformed the original into a gritty, menacing barrage of bass." [7]
