John Ov3rblast stands as a singular voice in modern electronic music — an artist whose work doesn’t simply fill a room, but **creates worlds**. Rooted in the early influences of classical harmony, jazz nuance, and rock energy, his path eventually found its true ignition in electronic sound: a space where rhythm, texture, and imagination can merge without limits.

His music moves fluidly through **ambient, dub techno, progressive house, and deep electronica**, shaped by a signature sense of space and emotional weight. Rather than chasing trends, Ov3rblast composes like a storyteller. Pads breathe like landscapes, delays stretch time, and grooves evolve patiently — producing tracks that are simultaneously **hypnotic and human**, minimal yet detailed, club-ready yet introspective. Many listeners describe his releases as *cinematic soundtracks for imaginary worlds* — an accurate phrase for an artist who treats sound as architecture.

At the centre of his output is a philosophy: **music as a gateway to inner exploration**. Ov3rblast builds sonic environments that work in two realities at once — the private realm of headphones, where a track becomes personal reflection, and the communal energy of the dancefloor, where rhythm becomes collective motion. This duality defines his artistry: his music can be meditative without losing momentum, and powerful without losing tenderness.

Over the years, his discography has expanded across numerous labels and collaborations, resulting in a deep catalogue of EPs, LPs, and remixes. His work has been featured on respected platforms such as **Proton Radio, Frisky Radio, and DI.FM**, strengthening a global audience that values depth over hype and innovation over repetition.

Beyond releases, Ov3rblast founded **Spaceal Orbeats Records**, not only as a home for his own catalog, but as a platform for emerging artists who share a commitment to exploration and authenticity. Through this label work, he extends his impact beyond personal output — helping shape a community of creators who believe electronic music is still a frontier.

Relentlessly forward, yet unmistakably himself, John Ov3rblast continues to evolve — pushing sound design, atmosphere, and emotional narrative into territories that feel timeless. In a genre often defined by speed and saturation, his work remains **a slow-burn universe: deliberate, visionary, and deeply alive**.

New music always in the works. Let's rock!

My goal is to write music for films. I am getting into Classical Music. My influences: electronica: Tangerine Dream, Klaus Schultze, Conrad Schnitzler, Edgar Froese, Christoph Franke, Faust, Popul Vul, and bands like that.

I use only software sound instruments now: I am a Reason freak, but I use Studio One, Notion 3, Ozone 4 and Logic 9 occasionally; Mixcraft Prop for music and video production.

I grew up with analogue synthis from Korg, Roland and Yamaha.

I hope to upload demo reels here.

Chilled Electronica from Scotland. This page is for random stuff im working on at the moment.

sound designer.  synthesizer patcher.  experimental electronic musings.  synthnerd.  occasionally producer of rock albums.
