Roaming at the convergence point of incantatory tribal hoodoo, hi-voltage techno uproar and no-frills, hazy Deep bass, the pair works its way in the gap between straight out floor hypnotism and drum-driven escapology.

Rabid futuristic percussive blasts fly off like curare-dipped arrows and tape-echo’ed sci-fi riffs hovering around like an evil God’s brontologic threat. Rugged, overwhelming and purposefully impenetrable, the sound of HTF remains a dense storm of controlled chaos.

A two-headed affair, the faceless Hysteria Temple Foundation is a project cloaked in secret and mystique. Roaming at the convergence point of incantatory tribal hoodoo, hi-voltage techno uproar and no-frills, hazy Deep bass, the pair works its way in the gap between straight out floor hypnotism and drum-driven escapology. HTF conjures gravity-defying rhythmic stunts and haunting, ancestral-like tableaux of brain-numbing beauty. Rabid futuristic percussive blasts fly off like curare-dipped arrows and tape-echo’ed sci-fi riffs hovering around like an evil God’s brontologic threat. Rugged, overwhelming and purposefully impenetrable, the sound of HTF remains a dense storm of controlled chaos. Since their emergence in 2021, HTF has established itself as a constantly erupting sonic laboratory, shaping a musical matter that is at once deeply visceral and strikingly visionary. In their productions, machines seem to awaken, releasing an organic breath where tribal pulsations, mutating electronic tensions and melodic spectres from an as-yet-unwritten future collide and intertwine. At this time, the journey continues with more intensity than ever. This year marks a decisive step forward: two releases on the highly respected labels SPE:C and Useless Seconds. A recognition that underlines the singularity of their universe — a rare blend of ritualistic explosiveness, futuristic hybridisation and sonic dramaturgy pushed to its point of incandescence. Their expanding trajectory also includes collaborations with artists such as Spekki Webu, while figures from the cutting edge of the scene, including Stenny of Ilian Tape have already contributed remixes to their catalogue. Played regularly by influential artists across the scene like Dbridge, Lena Willikens or Elena Colombi just to name a few, their work has appeared in high-profile podcasts and broadcasts such as Dekmantel, Monument, BBC Radio, and NTS Radio, further affirming HTF’s growing impact within the global electronic landscape. Paul and Samy continues to carve a path entirely its own: a duo capable of making hyper-modern electronics converse with archaic echoes, infusing a quasi-cinematic breath into every track, and elevating the dancefloor into a fully-fledged narrative space. A living, ever-mutating project, impossible to contain — yet instantly recognisable. HTF’s music finds itself even more rightfully experienced live, on Stage , all analogue protocols and transfixing energies blazing. Like head red
