Encounters, from Bay Area based producer Tyler Hovestadt, is a downtempo electronic project blending ambient, downtempo, and live percussion that seeks to find balance between organic musicality and electronic exploration. In August 2022, Encounters released his debut "A Path Beyond" followed by "A Path Beyond Remixed" in 2023, “Circuit Breaks” in 2024, "Purple Thumb" in 2025 and “Veil of Echoes”, his first full length album, released near the end of 2025. Encounters has performed at electronic music festivals in Europe and America including appearances at Astronox, Infrasound and Stilldream, as well as supporting renowned artists such as Bluetech, Carbon Based Lifeforms, Desert Dwellers and Kaya Project.

Having always felt a profound love for music and the outdoors, Katahdin is the manifestation of a lifelong pursuit to become more connected with the Earth and its inhabitants by means of artistic expression.

Through exploration of psychedelic frequencies, Katahdin utilizes their fascination with intricate sound design to create sonic journeys charged with the intention of connecting to our roots in nature and the cosmos, as well as the inherent human desire to dance - all while acknowledging the duality that exists between darkness & light in our universe.

Sharing Love & Passion through music at 360°

Sandesh aka Psymbosis has been involved in the music world since more then 3 decades. In the 90s he was playing and sharing his tunes and vibe in events within the Osho Commune international in Pune as well as in beaches and parties in Goa, at that time mixing on DAT tapes and Minidisks. 
From Ambient music until the latest innovative Experimental Electronic passing through all the possible ranges and styles, he has explored them all!! 

After a gap in the early 2000's exploring different realms of his creative expressions, he has been deeply involved in the music scene of South East Asia, sharing his passion in beaches and jungles parties as well as Clubs and International Festivals. 
He has ben playing in all the main venues in Goa, Koh Phangan, Bali as well as many of the main Music Festivals around the world! … to mention some: 
BOOM festival (PG)
MODEM Festival ( CR)
OWN SPIRIT Festival (SP)
ZNA Gathering (SP)
EXPERIENCE Festival (TH)
SUNSHINE Festival (JP)
CHILL OUT PLANET (RU)
IMAGINARIA (IT)
& more …. 

He can play music and styles at 360° ranging from Meditative Shamanic Ambient, Chill and Alternative, Ecstatic Dances until Night Forest Psy and everything in btw. 

He is constantly pushing the limits of what is playable creating “journeys” full of surprises. 
His various and versatile style can fit any crowd at any hour at any kind of event! 

He silently contributed to the expansion of the Ecstatic Dance Movement in Asia being one of the first to bring it in the now famous Bali Yoga Barn in early 2000s and subsequently giving birth to the event "RISE" Ecstatic Dance at Pyramid Yoga and the Fridays Ecstatic dances at AUM  on the Island of Koh Phangan. 
In both cases the concept and the events he created has grown exponentially up to the point that are now well established in the Ecstatic Dance scene worldwide attracting hundreds of dancers from all over the planet. 

He plays music in a very versatile and various ways such that his alter-ego named Psymbiosis (Maharetta Records) is present in the International Underground scene sharing his passion and his vibrant energy.
