Temple Hedz
A Brief History
Temple Hedz, launched in 2002 by Paul Savery, is an alternative electronic dance
project that draws inspiration from the early ’90s underground dance movement and
psychedelic alternative rock of that era. Paul began to refine some of his music
production skills in London studios throughout the mid - late ’90s,
before finally opening his own studio in Sussex in 2001.
In the early 2000s, Paul performed live
percussion sets at many music venues across the UK to keep himself active in the
music scene and to see how audiences were evolving in the club scene post 1990’s.
This was a crucial time for Paul as it was here that many ideas were born and for the
next step in his career to emerge.
He started creating his own alternative electronic music, drawing inspiration from
artists like William Orbit, The Orb, Banco de Gaia, and Transglobal Underground,
whom he had discovered in the early 90’s. Alongside this, guitar based bands such
as The Cure, The Smiths, Levitation, and The The demonstrated to Paul how
distinctive musical genres could be blended with finesse so he began merging these
ideas into one.
Since its launch, Temple Hedz is recognised for its ‘vibrant festival sound’, which
fuses live instrumentation, powerful dub driven bass lines, dynamic drum patterns,
atmospheric synth layers, and distinctive vocal effects. This crafts a truly unique
listening experience both live and in your own living room!
Temple Hedz have had several releases over the years through New Division
Electric Ltd. Please visit our Discography page for more information and for further

“Temple Hedz was born out of a series of unexpected magical
moments in my life, whether it was hearing a piece of music for the first time
or being transformed and inspired by people’s creativity and self-determination in
what they do and seeing it through no matter the outcome.
For example, I get an emotional reaction to something; like a driving bass line
or an intense string quartet or even a single note, cutting
through a wealth of layered instruments. These sound experiences left a
plethora of ideas waiting for me to be creative and go forth in my sound engineering.”
