Here’s one if you’re in the mood for super chill stuff. Neighsayer has appeared plenty of times on previous P@D albums with fantastic live instrument production from jazz to blues and alt rock which my ears just melt into. Now they bring something even more smooth and mellow than usual with this remix of Mogsch and Itchigotchi’s Let The Sun Rise (albeit minus the vocals).
Month: January 2017
Totalspark – Battlecry | Hybrid Trap
Just as epic as what the cover art by Fruitbloodmilkshake implies (personal share), Totalspark’s new release through Shika No Mori Sound enlightens the soul and the battle spirit as a real musical embodiment of a Battlecry. Blending Trap and Dubstep elements, it is displaying much strength and dedication, and achieving the scale of Equestrian battles with clean yet sick melodies and wubs over a breathtaking progression.
Technickel Pony – Sprite | Hip-Hop
Technickel Pony brings some smooth zebra vibes with this new instrumental Hip-Hop track Sprite, and it just makes me want to immerse myself in an setting deep inside the Everfree Forest where some of the underground musicians and rappers are at, celebrating joy and harmony around a campfire and with background music such as this track. Funky!
[P@D] CainbowRrash & A Symphony Of Two – To Find A Better Place | Orchestral
Those familiar with Friendship Symphonies have already heard CainbowRrash and A Symphony of Two, but this piece was the beginning of their collaboration, and a great end to the P@D Amity album. It begins with a tranquil wind section that slowly progresses as more instruments and harmonies are added, and finally resolves into my favorite section when the sax, and a lovely trumpet solo are introduced. You can actually see them recording this in the video! It’s an exploratory piece open to interpretation and doesn’t linger on one idea for too long. I definitely recommend checking it out!
ExplodingPonyToast, LutariFan & ThatMusicBrony – Start Again (Suskii Remix) | Dubstep
For all of you Awakening fans and reminiscent of the iconic Start Again, here’s yet another token of its timeless excellence and remix-appeal as Suskii turns the track in a completely new direction. It is bringing all the heavy Dubstep wubs while keeping part of that certain emotion that is singular to the original, creating a brand new emotional piece of many wonders, and ready to set any party on fire.
FruityFusion – Endless | IDM / Breakcore / Drum & Bass / Experimental
FruityFusion treats us with a most delightful surprise, as this new track blends in many genres and pioneers in many directions. With a solid melodic body and a sweet progression over the course of experimental greatness, Endless is an outstanding track and I definitely wish for more of this!
The Seapony Orchestra: A Brony Orchestra Project
Yeah…that post from the other night? Let’s just ignore that and read this one instead. The Seapony Orchestra, a group of musicians based in South-East Asia, are planning a performance at SeaPonyCon in Bangkok this August, and are looking for more musicians to join in! If you’re in the Asian community or even keep slightly up-to-date with this, then you may have already heard about this, but hey, signal boosting never hurts. Have a copypasta below on the details…
Filly in the Box – Bad Ponies | Dubstep
Filly just keeps rolling out the new tracks it seems, keeping that sweet top-notch sound design. Check out this latest one if hors dubstep is your thing.
(Yep, I’m tired, short description is short)
[P@D] Plum Creek Rhythm Section – Handbag (covering Replacer) / Dashtortion – Through The Snow | Alt. Rock
Two more P@D songs for you today! First up is this rather mellow cover of Replacer’s song Handbag done by Plum Creek Rhythm Section – so a combination of two artists whose songs on the P@D albums are consistently some of my favourites. And the intro totally doesn’t remind me of The Pretender…
And to follow, a new track from Dashtortion, which isn’t actually a solo artist, but instead a collab between StealingShad3Z and SlightlyAmiss, whose work you may remember from the last P@D album. A bit more uptempo, but still relatively chill (haha see what I did there) song with Shining Armor / Cadence themed lyrics.
Vylet – Little Dreams (Homage Remix) | Electronic
Clearly the SPW hype hasn’t worn off for Homage, as he’s recently released this nice little remix of Little Dreams. The trap and future influence in the sound design here, and some unique vocal processing and chopping stand out in particular for me on this track.
Note: Since the original video got deleted, you may find the MP3 file of the song here.
