Over The Moon is delighted to present our sophomore release, the debut release from a bright new talent on the downtempo scene.  Encounters, from Bay Area based multi-instrumentalist and producer Tyler Hovestadt, is a project that seeks to find balance between organic musicality and electronic exploration.  On 'A Path Beyond', Encounters gently evokes a sense of calm through uplifting tones and thoughtful progression, enveloping the listener in a cocoon of heart centered magic.

“ A Path Beyond has been in the making for several years, drawing influences from real world experiences and people I've crossed paths with. It is the first album from Encounters with each track composed to evoke a different feeling from its listener. I'm excited to finally share this music with the world.” - Tyler Hovestadt/Encounters

ABOUT THE ARTIST:

Tyler Hovestadt began his musical endeavor by experimenting and improvising with synthesizers as a part of garage jam sessions with his friends. After furthering his craft in sound design and arrangement, he went on to produce his own compositions and establish Encounters. Aiming to marry the digital and analog world, Encounters fuses organic, live-recorded percussion with meticulously constructed electronic soundscapes. 

ABOUT OVER THE MOON:

Over The Moon is the sister imprint of Behind The Sky Music, a record label created by established electronic producer Bluetech which is committed to releasing high quality limited edition vinyl presses of analog and modular synth music.  Formed during the pandemic lockdown, Over The Moon is a collaboration between label partners and longtime friends Evan Bartholomew (Bluetech) and Maggie Houtz (DJ Maggie). The two work closely on co-producing the weekly Twitch audiovisual show Holotropic Happy Hour as well as the various artists Matters of the Heart compilation in summer of 2021 for Behind the Sky. Maggie’s love for - and encyclopedic knowledge of - downtempo electronica is the guiding force in curating a catalog of gorgeous and emotional electronic music.   Over The Moon was born out of an inspiration to showcase more explicitly electronic, beat-driven music that sits just outside the parameters of the Berlin school ambient and analog synth-oriented releases of Behind The Sky.

A Path Beyond

Beyond

3. Sensorythm - Slimy Freqs

Hey,
My name is Din (DINO).
Living at the beautiful north of Israel,
down below Golan Heights, where all green nature and floating rivers streams.

Inspired by the organic pure sounds and peace of nature, I let the vibes go by it.
Throw sine waves, harmony and grooves i wish to feel it all inside me and give it back for listeners.

I'm using Bitwig to produce music since I can use handless modulations and randomness, which for me describes the divine change and transformation moment by moment.

Much Love,
DINO

Moving through the seasons with this experimental psychedelic set I recorded live at the end of March 2019 on support for @desertdwellers in Tempe, AZ. 

I've been wanting to create a DJ set made up of three distinct parts — emulating the three-act structure of many stories — for a while now, and this is my first tried and true attempt at it. My intention was to keep the vibe flowing through three energeric crests whIle maIntaInIng movement from start to finish. I ended up digging deep into my collection to make this work, pulling some forgotten classics from over the years and mashing them up with more recent tracks from some of my friends, peers, and inspirers. 

However you landed here, I hope you enjoy your listen and take some additional time to scope out all of the amazingly talented producers whose music was included. You can find them all below! ♥︎
