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

Path

Deeper is a cinematic journey through the different stages of human relationships. From coming together, to drifting apart, each song is a sonic representation of the emotions we feel in our interactions with people that we choose to go deeper with in our life.

I am happy to share with you my new release. Introducing the new EP by The Flying Mars, "Jambalaya." Inspired by the culinary concept, this EP embraces the metaphor of "jambalaya" a mix of diverse elements, ideas, and emotions. Just as the dish combines ingredients in a harmonious chaos, the tracks blend genres, instruments, rhythms, and moods seamlessly together. Crafted meticulously, the jambalaya EP takes listeners on a journey through a diverse musical landscape, surprises with unexpected twists and combinations. From meditative soundscapes to flamenco, spacy electronic riffs, and playful glitches, the tracks reflect the EP's celebration of creativity and diversity. Like a perfectly crafted jambalaya dish, this EP serves its listeners a rich and complex musical fusion.

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.
