Some pretty upbeat house-y stuff here! We’ve got another remix of Flawless from 174UDSI. It makes good use of the verse vocals, as well as lovely synth progressions throughout.

[P@D] Lovestruck Brony – She’s Up To No Good | Experimental Dubstep
Start of Mordecai Mapper’s writeup
Coming from the most recent Ponies At Dawn album, Guardians. Lovestruck delivers a heavy and headbanging experiment on Lovestruck’s wubs, making them neurotic, heavy, gritty and groovy. The drum work is also on point, I really love the drums on this track! Lovestruck, being with Ponies At Dawn since Awakening, has gave birth to a lot of really experimental tracks, I must say, that Lovestruck’s style is unique and should get more love! (also that artwork)
Why you didn’t download Guardians by this time? Are you a cavepony that don’t know what is happening? Download it now! If you are a rich cavepony buy the album.

Start of bank pain’s writeup
With his last few releases being exclusive to Ponies At Dawn, Lovestruck Brony is not a producer who drops new tracks very frequently. However, he can always be counted on to bring quality basswork & groove.
This track is no different; the last remaining song from Guardians to be released on the P@D Youtube channel, She’s Up To No Good, means business. Lovestruck delivers his signature bass textures with impressive stylistic consistency to his previous songs, while adding enough variation to keep it fresh. The drops boast a wide range of sound design, ranging from OTT growls to lazers, expertly strung together so provide superb flow. Percussive elements resembling the clopping of hooves are certainly a neat—if, perhaps, unintentionally so—addition.

A Symphony of Two – A Moment of Relief | Chill IDM
Knew more for their wonderful experimental orchestral compositions, the French duo A Symphony of Two returns with a delightful and experimental IDM track that amazed me. Chilling and atmospheric IDM with Downtempo elements that stole my heart when I listen to the first drum beats. With vocals done by Blue Note (one of the elements of AST) that fit with the ambience and atmosphere of the instrumental with some really weird and experimental synths that really are the main thing in the song. The drums with the classical breakcore/IDM feeling that are slowed down for fit in the synth are well performed and really amazing. This song amazed me and it’s really atmospheric that I’ll use it while I’m studying for exams!
Lovestruck Brony – Dun Dun Dun | Electro
This track from Lovestruck Brony, is a neuro/dubstep-style electro track featuring some strong percussion, lovely synth design and some groovy composition throughout, which are all signature to his style. It’s also features on the recently released Raganrok Vol. 1 from Magnus Records, yet another example of how terrific that collection of tunes is!
Sonic Hooves – First Flight | Orchestral
Sonic Hooves’ First Flight is symbolic of the greater journey he has been undertaking over the last year. The Seapony Orchestra was a project he started to organise in the middle of last year, and it finally came to fruition at the Southeast Asian convention SEAPonycon earlier this month with a truly wonderful performance. This piece was debuted there, and now it’s out for everybody to enjoy. There’s some really superb composition throughout, and it definitely comes across rather hopeful and uplifting.
Brilliant Venture – Moving On From Yesterday | House
Brilliant Venture has taken a break from his usual dubstep fare to make a more house-y tune that’s full of some absolutely fantastic use of vocal chops, among other strong synth design. It’s definitely cool to see him branching out, so make sure to support it!
[P@D] Jyc Row & WoodLore – Flamethrone Legacy (feat. Karen Warren) | Epic Orchestral
Jyc Row has released some pretty incredible collaborative works in the past, but this possibly tops the lot of them. An epic orchestral instrumental filled with many of the hallmarks of a classic Jyc masterpiece is supplemented by exceptionally strong vocals by WoodLore and Karen Warren. The lyrics work brilliantly at conveying the story of Princess Ember’s trials in convincing her father she is worthy to carry on his legacy as dragon lord.
[HMC] Budzy – Risen | Dubstep
Budzy’s wubs just keep getting heavier, with this perhaps being his most aggressive tune yet. An atmospheric build-up follows quickly into a drop full of long, drawn out powerful bass noises, before morphing into some other very cool wobbles.
Daniel Ingram – I’ve Got to Find a Way (Seventh Element Remix) | Dark Ambient
Seventh Element has put together a very eerie, sinister remix of Twilight’s tragic song “I’ve Got to Find a Way”. Minimalist, gritty, and perfectly ambient, it’s a truly unique take on the song. I absolutely love the sound design here, it’s so, so good. The vocal work is superb too. Another masterpiece from Seventh Element!
Velvet R. Wings – New Hope (Remaster) | Harp Solo
Velvet R. Wings is one of my favorite singers and musician of the moment, her collaborations with his brother SDreamExplorerS are some of my favorite songs ever including Little Feather and Selena. But this time, it’s a bit different, here Velvet does an amazing Harp composition that is really atmospheric and warm, reminding me of some Traditional Japanese Music, the remaster done by SDreamExplorerS is very well made, the harp is very well performed, I love how Velvet gave emotions to this composition! You should really listen to this song, it’s really emotional!
