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.

Mindspring Music presents: Dejalum - Sinusoidal Spiral [MSM146]

Sinusoidal Spiral is a new musical piece composed of 4 tracks produced by José Ascui.
This is the second Mindspring Music release by Dejalum. This EP manifests a journey of deep basses and is nuanced with the vibe of dub. Sinusoidal Spiral reflects Dejalum's constant sonic quest. It is an aesthetic with a deep and delicate sound design, but always contrasted with the energy of their recordings of organic instruments. We are talking about an aesthetic salsa seasoned with psychedelic textures, dynamic atmospheres, subtle compositions, and games of consistent but sometimes surprising rhythms.
Are you ready to try this new spinning sauce?
Let's go to Spiraling!

Mindspring Music presents: Øhmar - IKIGAI [MSM147]

There are moments when life shifts so deeply, the music has no choice but to follow. IKIGAI is one of those moments.

Composed during the quiet unfolding of fatherhood, Øhmar traces the delicate balance between responsibility and renewal—between holding and letting go. These four pieces feel less like tracks and more like reflections; soaked in spacious textures, subtle groove, and an unspoken reverence for the present moment.

Inspired by ancient Japanese teachings, this is music that listens inward. Not trying to impress—just trying to speak honestly. It feels connected to his 2021 release Nothing and Everything, but carries a new kind of stillness. A gentler focus.

You won’t find genre signposts here. Just feeling. Tone. Movement like water. Something quietly sacred.

It Will Be Alright

a powerful fusion of psytrance, psydub and electronic rock infused with Middle Eastern spirit. Hypnotic oud and saz riffs, tribal darbuka rhythms and cosmic synth layers weave together in a ceremonial dance of fire and desert night. Each track opens a portal between ancient desert traditions and futuristic psychedelic soundscapes, guiding the listener through ecstatic motion, mystic trance and radiant rebirth.
