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.

Mindspring music presents: Mattura - Rites of Passage [MSM144]

Mattura’s Rites of Passage is more than just a debut—it’s an initiation. This album challenges the boundaries of downtempo, dissolving expectations with a seamless fusion of organic and electronic sound. Hypnotic rhythms, deep bass currents, and the raw soul of live instrumentation—featuring the Oud and other traditional elements—converge to create an experience that is both primal and otherworldly.
With each track, Mattura crafts a sonic landscape that defies categorization, inviting the listener to lose themselves in the movement, unaware of where one genre ends and another begins. A journey of transformation, discovery, and deep resonance, Rites of Passage is a step into the unknown—one that demands to be felt as much as heard.

Holobiont: hɒləˈbʌɪ'ɒnt 

A holobiont is defined as the host plus of all its microbial symbionts, including transient and stable members. All individuals who participate in a particular symbiosis are bionts and the entire organism that is comprised of these bionts is a holobiont. Meaning that essentially everything is a holobiont, because every macro-species lives in symbiosis with some other species. You're a holobiont. 


Infinite thanks to everyone who helped bring this album to fruition and made it possible (that includes you!), without you it wouldn't be here for all to share :) X

Mindspring Music presents: Shwamp - Circus [MSM097]
Shwamp returns with his much anticipated, third album, Circus. Louis has shifted his focus to the development of melodies and crafting a full journey into each of these tracks. With his intent set to create something innovative and different, he chose a warmer sound with a deep chilled dimension. It definitely made this collection of tracks rooted in heart, painting an emotional landscape for us to experience.

The hallmark Shwamp sound is still a big part of the scenery, here. Expect those nice, gooey, mechanical sound design that he is well known for with a very playful feel. During these times of difficult uncertainty, it is a welcome mood; the brighter vibes are poignant and fitting. The ringmaster brings an air harmony, enjoy the Circus!
