Hunting Hush

Hunting Hush is the solo project of Indian producer Jai Sharma, best known for his high‑tempo, psychedelic “hi‑tech” psytrance releases. Operating from the Indian underground, he blends rapid‑fire BPMs with mantra‑like vocal samples, creating immersive, trance‑inducing journeys that have attracted listeners on platforms such as Bandcamp, SoundCloud and Instagram. Fans searching for “Hunting Hush” typically encounter his recent EP The Voice and a growing catalogue of hi‑tech tracks that sit at the intersection of classic Goa trance and modern digital sound design.

Artist Overview

Jai Sharma began releasing music under the moniker Hunting Hush in the early 2020s, drawing on his background in Indian classical chant and contemporary electronic production. While exact biographical details remain limited, the artist openly references his Indian heritage and spiritual influences in track titles like “Shiva Manas Pooja” and “Hymn for Baba Ji.” Hunting Hush’s work is distributed primarily through the Canadian label Cosmic Frequencies, which specializes in psychedelic and psytrance sub‑genres. The partnership with Cosmic Frequencies has helped the project reach an international audience while maintaining a DIY ethos rooted in the Indian underground scene.

Musical Style & Genres

Hunting Hush’s sound is anchored in hi‑tech psytrance, a sub‑genre characterized by very fast tempos (typically 150–180 BPM), intricate arpeggiated synth lines, and crisp, digital percussion. Tracks often open with layered vocal chants or field recordings that evoke a meditative atmosphere before launching into relentless, high‑energy sequences. Production techniques include heavy use of FM synthesis, glitch‑style effects, and rapid filter sweeps that keep the momentum intense throughout a track’s 6‑10‑minute runtime.

Influences can be heard from classic Goa pioneers such as Astral Projection and Infected Mushroom, while modern producers like Symbolic and Kindzadza inform the hyper‑technical drum programming. The result is a sound that feels both timelessly psychedelic and distinctly futuristic, appealing to listeners who appreciate the spiritual roots of trance as well as cutting‑edge sound design.
