Sometimes the simplest themes are the most touching ones, and this theme of a lazy summer afternoon as well as this picture of Dashie napping her days away are reflected wonderfully here by Sonic Hooves’ composition that isn’t lacking emotion. Very moving piano melodies are chanting an ode to the pegasus we’ll never forget, full of heart and beauty, as we linger in the warmth of the moment.
Year: 2017
Einarx – Alicorn Hunter | Dubstep
My personal favorite from Einarx’s recent releases, this track is sampling Tempest Shadow from the upcoming movie and sure is very ahead of its time. Showcasing insane sound design and crazy drops that feel like they’re coming from another world, the banger does a mighty job at conveying the “new”, never-seen-before mood from the character and what we could see in the trailer of the movie, and sets a solid ground for the overall theme of the upcoming EP “Invaders” that is about the movie’s events as envisioned by Einarx. The mad guitar is an unexpected treat, further reflecting the villainous intent of the theme and making this track the utter masterpiece that it is.
Eurobeat Brony – Luna (Suskii Remix) | Dubstep
Suskii’s latest release is a remix of the of Eurobeat’s classic song Luna! And man, is it good. A little softer and more melodic than most of his stuff, but still with plenty of wubs, it’s an absolute delight to listen to. He adds in a few Luna samples for fun, which ends up doubled!
ILLUMNATION – Casting Shadows EP | Dark Folk
Editor’s note: Better late than never…right?
Russian group Illumnation releases a downright amazing pay-what-you-want EP about Princess Luna! The instrumentation in general, and harp in particular, is stellar. Folk isn’t my thing at all, but this was an immediate download because it’s just that good.
But the true heart of the album is its awestriking vocals. Velvet’s beautiful voice is just brimming with passion. And the lyrics are perfect, about Princess Luna guiding our dreams and watching over sleeping ponies all across Equestria.
Casting Shadows is available to download on ILLUMINATION’s Bandcamp for any named price.
[P@D] Jackie Lombardi – Balloons & Confetti | Future Bass
Coming from the newest Ponies At Dawn album Guardians, Jackie delivers an emotional and uplifting future bass track hidden deep inside on the album!
The Pinkie Pie vocals chops and samples, the drums and the drops are really amazing! This song has really party feeling! This song will make you happy and make you dance after a hard day! Also that slow-motion part at the end! It’s awesome
Download Guardians already! Boys and Girls, please, why you don’t download the album yet? Are you loco in the coco? (if you are rich buy it now!)
Nicolas Dominique – Missing | Ambient / Chillout
Another great song coming from Nicolas Dominique. I guess that Nicolas is the Tim Hecker of the brony fandom. When we think about brony ambient/progressive electronics, Nicolas Dominique is the first name that comes out of our mind.
Missing describes Nicolas’ theory in what happened to AJ’s parents. They disappeared in the middle of Everfree Forest. And I clearly can feel the emotions in the song that represent the feeling of know that someone you love disappeared and police is trying to find what happened. Good track for a movie/series where the police investigate kidnappings.
Listen to this song, the progressions of the synth bring more and more emotions and feelings.
Einarx – Headless Horse | Dubstep
Years after Starlight’s Headless, here is Einarx’s take at the haunting and very deep theme from S03E06 Sleepless in Ponyville. As Scootaloo faces her fears in a scary nightmare, mad plucks are coming at you like the silhouette of the headless horse, with an intricate pace conveying so well the simmering fear of the moment in the nightmare. An expert use of samples from the episode is also contributing to make this track an amazing dark experience of sick sound design and powerful concept.
Henni – Little Wishes | Melodic Dubstep
Henni’s back with lovely releases and the signature happy vibe that he likes to give to his songs, and this original certainly lives up to its cute title, with very Equestrian lead melodies, uplifting beats, and starry background melodies delivered over a beautiful progression. Along the cute cover art, this definitely feels very pony and MLP-like!
DoTheDaringDew – You’re In My Head Like a Catchy Song (Covering Daniel Ingram) | Acoustic
S07E13 The Perfect Pear sure delivered a torrent of emotions and sparked many musical reactions in the community, and DoTheDaringDew chose to pay homage to Daniel Ingram and Felicia Day’s moving masterpiece with a cover performed with all his heart and pouring out all his vocal talent. A beautiful and lovely tribute indeed, this cover shows a fan’s passion and dedication to do all that they can to express their appreciation to what is sure to become a community classic.
[LDB] Hay Tea – Tales of the Sickly (feat. N. Hollow) | Boom Bap / Jazz Rap
Coming from the third compilation album of Lycan Dese Beats. Hay Tea collabs with the rapper N. Hollow in this sick Kendrick Lamar/A Tribe Called Quest look like jazz rap song.
The song that talks about Princess Luna and Starlight Glimmer is one of the best songs that is on this album. The guitar riffs, the really catchy synths in the bridge of the song, and the great vocal capacity of the MC N. Hollow contributes to make this song very awesome!
Download or buy Lycan Dese Beats 3 for get this beauty and more!
