Midnight Musician – Cider Party (MrMehster Remix) | Electro House

Rejoice party ponies, because MrMehster treats us with an amazing remix of the memorable recent Cider Party held at Midnight Musician’s! Restarting the party all over again, and this time with a banging Electro House spin, the remix creates much party spirit with a lively instrumental delightfully reminding of the Party With Pinkie days, while also showcasing the vocals from the original track with much style and panache. A perfect remix and party anthem to play during many crazy nights! This one’s on me, my ponies! (Pinkie voice) Also, I’m writing this as I have my coffee in an official Cider Party mug, I think this is the best mug I could have for this!

4EverfreeBrony – Just Another Day In Ponyville | Acapella

NB: This was originally posted on Equestria Daily on 26 February 2017.

Something we don’t get a whole lot of in the fandom, 4everfree has released some a capella music! His vocals work beautifully here, and there’s some great extra mouth noises and layering of the vocals to help give it a pretty full sound. As with a lot of a capella songs, this is pretty upbeat, and it’s nice to see 4everfree continue to give different styles a go.

HACKD – Sunshine Like Marmalade | Drum & Bass

Historical moment as our beloved HACKD from the HMH team and Cider Party makes his debut on the site as a solo post! Also it’s not often that we get a YouTube release at all either, and it’s unfortunate especially considering that the underground musician makes really awesome tunes! And this one is no exception! Bringing forth highly energetic vocals from S6’s memorable griffon Gabriella “Gabby”, it unleashes powerful DnB greatness and makes for an amazing progression full of crazy vocal work and mad synths, showcasing that blissful sound design that is almost becoming a signature sound, and paying well-deserved tribute to Gabby.

Jyc Row – The Ancient Elements | Orchestral

NB: This is an edited version of what was originally posted on Equestria Daily on 26 February 2017.

Jyc explores the outer reaches of Equestria, with a piece inspired by this beautiful art from ziom05. It has a lot of his usual celtic influences that play a large part in the soundscape here, and there’s some great thudding percussion as well that helps to give the idea of an epic journey.

Reverbrony – Unbound | Metal

Reverbrony is back in full force with his heavier musical style, so it’s time to partake in epic melodic guitar solos and riffs once again! Reflecting so well the amazing cover art by JaDeDJynX, Unbound unleashes heavy guitars and drums backed up by a solid bass in a relentless progression, like in a blaze of fury, except that it’s blissful sounds instead of magical attacks. Although, if music truly is magic, I must say those are very efficient attacks!

Sky Runner – Protagonist | Drum & Bass

Sky Runner returns with somewhat of a follow up to one of her first tracks, Antagonist. Making some terrific use of sampling, the drums work terrifically with the rest of the instrumental, and there’s some really nice ambient sound effects throughout the track as well that help to add an extra dimension to it. I especially like the reverse-effect fills that turn up now and then.
