You just knew it was going to happen! A remix of the very emotional song from the MLP Series Finale from JoinedTheHerd, who went all-out to pay tribute to it with much emotion in his remix as well! You can just feel the intensity of the musician’s feelings as the powerful drops take you by surprise, and the heavenly pony vocal chops take you in their warm and cuddly embrace. Very bright and emotion-inducing, this remix is such a gorgeous follow-up to the song from the finale, and another token of dedication from JoinedTheHerd! (Who could probably be named IllDieWithTheHerd, too!) Featuring art by Dusthiel!
Year: 2019
Remember Falling – Dead in the Water | Hybrid Orchestral
Remember Falling continues to impress. This track is another from her upcoming album Dawn Into Dusk, and it’s a beautiful one. The song is absolutely filled to the brim with harmonious vocals set to an orchestral and electronic backing, showcasing what sounds to be a duet between a male and a female with lyrical themes of water pulling Hollow (the album story’s main character) towards the next step of her journey. The ambience all throughout the song really does feel like a trip through a deep body of water, so it’s safe to say RF captured that feeling with flying colours. The album has a tentative release for late this year, so keep any eye out!
[PP] Spikey Wikey – Foreplay | Hardtek
From Pinkamena Party’s latest compilation album, GABBA-CA-DABRA FOR PONIES, Spikey Wikey’s last track made using Vegas is such a fun sendoff, with hot beats and a rich soundscape enacting the implied concept to perfection along that cover art commissionned for the occasion!
Nexgen – Uncultured (prod.Vinyl.rawr) | Hip-Hop
It’s been a while since Nexgen’s been seen in the fandom, hasn’t it? This is his first release in 5 years, with his last track coming out in August 2014. Was it worth the wait? Let’s get into that. Backed by a beat by Vinyl.rawr, Nexgen displays his ability to flow along impressively and confidently, showing that after all this time, he hasn’t lost a single iota of his talent. Of course, Vinyl’s beat deserves recognition too, consisting of a low choir and a guitar sample, bringing back feelings of early 2000s rap. Welcome back, you two! We can’t wait to see what you’ll come out with next.
Koron Korak – Vicious Circle Until Inner Emptiness (Toby Macarony remix) | Electronica
The creepiness doesn’t stop. Toby Macarony returns with a remix of Koron Korak‘s 18 minute long epic Vicious Circle Until Inner Emptiness. While it’s a quarter of the length of the original track, don’t let that dissuade you from listening, as it’s still a great remix in its own right. This remix showcases Toby’s unique bouncy style of electronica while keeping the creepiness of the original intact. The middle section features a truly haunting yet beautiful filtered trance pad sound that becomes more clear before eventually being joined by a catchy drum beat and eventually driving into a big crescendo full of all kinds of creepy synths and piano sounds. Seems Toby can do anything!
Nicolas Dominique – Alter Ego | Trance / Ambient
Nicolas Dominique’s newest track is a tale of two personalities, which can easily be represented by its blend of soft and trebly synth lines in tandem with a low, distorted bassline ripped straight from a dubstep song. Blending different electronic styles is nothing unheard of in the EDM scene, but when done right – like here, for instance – it makes for a refreshing listening experience!
General Mumble – Ponyville Murder Party | Dark Chiptune
To our greatest delight, pony music veteran General Mumble crafted a new pony gem for Nightmare Night, and by the looks of the cover art you should already know what to expect! Old-school distorted Pinkie vocals are complementing the Chiptune melodies that we love to hear from the musician, as a new dark scene gets played in musical form! Such a lovely surprise! It’s definitely never too late for such treats!
FilledSilhoutte – Lose Control | Ambient
Inspired by Last Tempest, FilledSilhoutte crafted a fine Ambient experience that will make the perfect musical ambience for walking in a world that rejected you, feeling the rain on your face as well as the decision to walk away brewing inside of you. Melancholic and somewhat futuristic vibes are brought masterfully here along the reflective melodies and space-y synths, and listening to this is such a bliss!
Shal Music FX – Daybreaker’s Future | Drone Metal / Orchestral
Strap yourselves in, because this is a long one. Inspired by an alternate future where Daybreaker reigns, this track is completely filled with a sense of dread. It starts out with an edited sample of Daybreaker monologuing from A Royal Problem before diving right in, showcasing its atmospheric chops through the use of evil organ chords, a dark choir and a deep, distorted guitar. Being a drone metal song inspired by bands such as Sunn O))), it progresses at a snail’s pace, with other elements such as drums and other vocal samples pushed far away from each other. Don’t let that discourage you from listening, as this is yet another Nightmare Night listening experience that’ll stick with you.
Pinkamena Party – GABBA-CA-DABRA FOR PONIES | Compilation Album | Multi-Genre
It’s Nightmare Night, and the Pinkamena Party crew got a bag full of treats for you all to savor, in the form of a compilation album themed for the occasion and featuring Abra-ca-dabra on the cover art! The contributing musicians did awesome venturing in the roads less traveled once again, while having heaps of fun, and you can definitely hear it! Gabber, play on pony vocals, experimental endeavors, eerie atmospheres, ambient adventures… So many lovely initiatives are so wonderful to see, as we celebrate the shenanigans of this spooky night along with everypony on the album! And if you missed the live release party, you can watch the recording of it!
