Unexpected remixes of classics are awesome, and this time Ricardo treats us to a very bouncy and classy remix of a classic from Sim Gretina that shall never be forgotten! The original vocals are echoing again in this brand new electronic arrangement, and it just feels so nostalgic!
Year: 2019
Daniel Ingram – The Magic of Friendship Grows (Sam Quak Brony Remix) | Tropical House
I would be lying if I said i didn’t shed a tear while listening to this remix. This remix of the final song of the show takes the already great song and makes it greater, with the original lyrics now being set to electronic music that perfectly reflects the whole feel of the song. It’s definitely a wonderful track!
[P@D] GrazySmash & MEQA – Hoof Shaker | Hard Dance
Track 40 of Ponies At Dawn: Eternal is an amazing collaborative banger between GrazySmash and MEQA, right between the album’s midway streak of other bouncy electro tunes. When these two heads are put together, we have an impressive combination of psychedelic and energetic styles, resulting in a long tune that you won’t get tired of listening to. Good luck trying not to dance to this!
The Empty Tomb – Emotions | Lo-fi
“Emotions” is right. The Empty Tomb keeps coming out with new releases, and this one might be their best yet. The track is centred around a filtered sample of what could either be a guitar or a piano set to a smooth beat accented by the sound of water droplets and a moving body of water. While it may be short, there’s nothing but melancholy lo-fi goodness to be found here.
Tw3Lv3 – Release | Album | Lo-fi
The debut album from the fandom’s lo-fi giant Tw3Lv3 is finally here! It has 20 tracks, some of which will be familiar if you follow his channel, such as Old Vibes, Starlight’s Dream, Canterlot Suburb, Tsukimi and so on. Quite a few of the songs are collabs with other producers, such as TheTaze, Steryotype, Power Note and Astral. A couple guest vocalists also appear, such as ShobieShy on the vocal version of Starlight’s Dream, and MC Arch on the closing track I Will Still Think About You. Standout tracks are Memorias for its catchiness, Autumn Breeze (featuring The Empty Tomb) because of the chilled out nature, as well as the aforementioned Tsukimi, Under the Rain and I Will Still Think About You, which displays Arch’s singing abilities really well! Overall, this album is nothing short of fantastic, and an amazing debut that’s well worth the wait. Pick it up when you can!
Maressey – Some Mares Are Bigger Than Others | Jangle Pop
There’s a lot of returning faces in the music scene lately… Maressey, a large collaboration project based around ponified versions of The Smiths songs, has just returned after a 2 year gap with a ‘Some Mares…’, a parody of their song Some Girls Are Bigger Than Others. This track is one of many from their upcoming album ‘The TwiLuna Album’, and features Faux Snyder on vocals with Freewave performing the music. Snyder’s vocals are top-notch and fit perfectly with the genre, and Freewave’s musical skills make for a great tribute worthy of standing up to the original. TwiLuna doesn’t have a release date, but be sure to keep an eye out!
4EverfreeBrony – Little Dreams (Covering Vylet Pony) | Rock
4everfreebrony brings us another awesome cover, this time a Vylet Pony track! This cover adds a new and unique rock spin on the original, with both acoustic and electric guitar, drums and other rock elements setting the track aside from the original in an amazing way.
Feryl DeMarco – Cyan Eyed | Breakcore
Who is this Feryl DeMarco and where did she come from?! Whatever the case, this is her debut track, and what an impression she’s left. Cyan Eyed is an erratic breakcore piece, filled to the brim with crazy drum patterns along with unpredictable synth sounds as well as the inclusion of what sounds like wind instruments. Since this is DeMarco’s first release, we can only imagine what’ll come next. Keep your eyes out!
Daniel Ingram – The Magic of Friendship Grows (John Kenza Remix) | Melodic House
John Kenza is a gem. Making its debut at Ponyville CiderFest, this remix is yet another example of why I think these ponies’ voices were meant for this style of music. Kenza’s house beat blends perfectly with everyone’s voices as well as the slowly building song, climaxing with a bouncy house synth riff before fading out slowly with a slow piano rendition of the show’s theme. Prepare the tissues, because the emotion is real.
Tripon – Ascension | Neurofunk
Though the track had been released almost a year ago as part of the Equestrian Raves EP, it gets a YouTube release just now with some stunning visuals to go along with it. Tripon’s work of art underwent significant changes in terms of interpretation, now being not solely about Twilight’s coronation as the princess of friendship, but also about her assumption of the role of leader of Equestria, perhaps represented respectively by the first and the second drop. Said mind-blowing drops are interwoven with satisfying leads during the buildups and outro, and the middle-section includes some of that Neuro magic Tripon is a master of. Trading his signature ominous style for a more regal or divine one, this track is a tribute to the community and the show’s ending, and judging by the description, there’s still plenty of where that came from.
