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.

Going Out For The Night - OrganMix

My debut album released December 2017 on Liquid Sound Design now available for streaming.

This album is a golden apple from Eris herself, a polymorphous journey soaring through the psychonautical altitudes of the here and never ever, peeling through the shifting layers of aural hallucinations to find some sort of sanity and spirit at the core. With moments of zen-like lysergic reflection mixed with bamboozling SNAFUs of pure spiritual vertigo ‘The Hallucinatory Mountain’ is the amalgamation of years of dedication and optimism, a promising seed with more fruit to bear.

Feeling really grateful to be part of this awesome lineup of artists... check out the rest of the remixes. There was a whole first album of remixes as well (my remix is in the second album). Thanks for sharing and listening and make sure to like my new Mandala Affect page here in case you haven't. I created the Mandala Affect moniker this year for my psybass and midtempo breaks releases). House and techno releases are now under Luke Mandala.

Endlessly

It all began with a single electronic sound frequency pulsing through the body, instantly activating bliss. For over 20yrs, YawS has been moving dance floors across the country with his eclectic and energetic sound scape. Musical styles ranging from down tempo to drum and bass, psybass, glitchhop, house, techno,  and high energy electronic dance music. This DJ/producer will take you on a journey, and move you from one dimension to the next with his smooth blending and precise mixing of each and every soundtrack. 
Born and raised in Texas, growing up on a diet of blues, southern rock, heavy metal and hiphop.....it was only a matter of time before YawS fell in love with synthesizers and the dance music that would be a catalyst to blend all styles into one. 
Performing his first major event in 1999 for 1200 people at the San Bernadino Sports Arena in California, He got a feel for massive sound systems and the energy of those that love to dance. This was only the beginning as YawS continued to play hundreds of events all over Southern California. After moving back to Texas, YawS continued to rock dance floors playing along side many great headliners to include: Aphrodite, Baby Anne, DJ Icey, Keoki, Simply Jeff, R.A.W., Terry Mullan, Wolfgang Gartner, Hedflux, Desert Dwellers, Kayla Scintilla and many more....
Currently YawS has focused most audio attention on music production and remixing. Near completing a few new songs and remixes he has found a whole new respect for music and the beauty of moving people through complex sound frequencies. Stay tuned for the new tracks and be on the look out for any opportunity to get down and groove with this amazing artist.
