Seventh Element makes some cool tunes, but where he really excels is in the creation of concept albums such as this. With a combination of spooky ambient soundscapes and driving indie rock beats, this album definitely helps to visualise the desolate landscapes of Fallout Equestria. Check it out below for half an hour of hope and despair!
From the sweet compilation Candy done by the team of A State of Sugar, mikuma (formally XAVI) joined with Namii (formally Cadie) to make the sweetest and cutest track from the album! Namii’s vocals are soo chill and high-pitched that it gave me chills down my spine. I loved the drops and the bass distortion. mikuma and Namii did an awesome job together! Really good work both of you!
Download Candy at A State’s of Sugar bandcamp, we are waiting! Really, download this, if you are rich and you like to support amazing artists, buy the album.

Fresh off the new A State of Sugar compilation album Candy (available now at whatever price you name!), BassPon3 brings his unique blend of quick eurodance beats, catchy synth lines, and exhilarating builds to put together a piece that will have you on your feet jammin’ along! This is an amazing track, inspired and exceptional, befitting such a celebrated album!

TCB’s unique sound design is all over this new track, a remix of Zizkil’s recent Flutterbat-track. There’s some pretty aggressive sound design that mixes well with the spooky atmosphere of the original, and TCB’s mixing is clearly improving too. The vocal chops in the break add to the dark feel, and overall this is a real cool remix.

Another new track from iblank2apples, something I certainly wouldn’t complain about! This one’s a melodic dubstep track that takes Ponytronic’s original in a pretty exciting new direction. There’s plenty of blank’s customary sound design, however the dubstep tempo definitely helps it shine in a different way and the melodic interjections are excellent.
This remix of Nevermourn‘s “Nighttime Aria” is a beautiful take on the original dusk tribute. Greyfade and Butterflight create more of a space-y, atmospheric feel to really emphasize the “nighttime” emotion of the track. It is a gorgeous piece of music, especially if you are looking for some great chill-out pony tunes!
Synthis is back with a great reminder that sometimes you just need to have some fun! Listening to this track, you just feel like you are in a great club moving in rhythm and dancing your cares away. This song has a great beat with a bright synth which sets the tone for Synthis’ excellent vocals to carry you out of all your troubles!
Editor’s note: Hooray, his channel is back, we can post this now!
Rockin’Brony delivers an amazing cover of one of my favorite songs from the movie! And the genre/concept for the recreation of the songs was pretty well chosen. Symphonic Metal is a really complex genre and a amazing experience listening to!
Rockin’s vocals are really amazing, the way that he delivers emotion and dedication to the vocals it’s clearly awesome, the symphonic elements of the cover are really well performed as well as the drums. All the song parts are really well performed, including the symphonic solo and the awesome guitar solo, one of the principal characteristics of Rockin’s tracks, amazing and headbanging guitar solos!
Amazing cover you done here, keep up the good work my friend!
iblank2apples’ lovely upbeat, energetic piece is about Twilight and her love of books. It’s made with ib2a’s signature synth style and superb skill. The little vocal chops accentuate the cheerful melodies beautifully. All together, it’s a wonderful composition.
Sugar, Spice, and everything nice! That’s a close enough reference and it’s time for a new ASoS album! Since the release of Lollipop this summer, the compilation album side of this project has grown alongside the promo channel that they run – this album features 36 brand new songs, and a good 2 hours or so of music for you to enjoy. The album covers a lot of the more melodic side of electronic music, as the ASoS label tends to do. There’s plenty of future bass, trance and chill stuff, but also the fair share of dubstep and bass house, and everything inbetween!
Also dat artwork, amirite?
Candy is available to download from A State of Sugar’s bandcamp page, completely for free (but you can donate if you’re feeling generous).
