Reminisce on old memories enough recently? If you said no, perfect! Have I got the ditty for you! Fresh off the new Never Say Neigh compilation album, AJ Young introduces a song including the quintessential sampling of old fandom standards topped with modern dubstep trends. If you said yes, not to worry because nostalgia will always purge your veins, no matter the walk of life you are in. So there’s no reason not to yield to the turbulent hard-hitter that is AJ Young’s Old School!
Year: 2019
Night Blaze – Concordia Draconis | Soundtrack
A song about dragons needs to be epic, right? Well, this track delivers in spades. It starts off with a calming piano riff with bells quietly going off in the background, but quickly builds up into an epic orchestral piece with heavy drums and driving string instruments, supplemented with a distorted guitar lead right at the climax. Night Blaze says this is the opening track to his upcoming album. If this is how it starts, then we can only expect great things from the rest of the album!
Tw3Lv3 – Starlight’s Dream (feat. ShobieShy) | Hip-Hop
The real Glim Shady returns with some bars about Starlight Glimmer! Accompanied with a chilled out beat from Tw3Lv3, he goes on to tell a story about Starlight’s growth and development throughout the show in two parts: her despair and guilt behind what she had done in the past, only to realise it was all a dream and that Equestria has accepted her into their arms. All this, bridged with a sample between Luna and Glimglam, makes for a relaxed yet emotional listening session. Hats off to this duo!
Rusty Thorsell – Hazy Hallow | Indie Pop
Rusty’s unique musical mind has spawned another great song! The track contains a unique blend of EDM with string instruments joined with his wordless, yet melodious vocals, creating a psychedelic feeling all throughout. All this, coupled with the flashy and distorted light show of his horse, brings forth a unique experience for the eyes and ears; don’t miss out on this one, everycreature!
[ASOS] Zythiria – Manehattan Night Club | Electro House / Chillout
Get up and get ready to jam out to Zythiria‘s new hit, Manehattan Night Club. Audibly pleasing synths, give a traditional Electro house feeling. All the while having a welcome and intuitive offset of a bass guitar. This song is sure to lighten any mood and get the day (or night) rolling. So gear up, mash down on that throttle, and give it a listen!
This song is a part of the compilation album A State of Sugar: Waffle. Make sure to stop by and check out some more of the awesome music!
Power Note – Late Night | Synthwave
When the night has come and the land is dark, this track should suit the mood perfectly. Power Note brings forth a chilled out synthwave number with voice samples of Fluttershy. The synth-driven beat and her voice seem to be a match made in heaven. Sounds like a beautiful combination, right? Even when she’s not singing, the music still sounds fresh and full, even during the soft synth and piano breakdown. Synthwave and electronic lovers alike, you’ll all love this!
[PP] Neu KatalYst – cmap.exe (feat. Starbrush) | Acid / Experimental / Industrial
Coming from the latest Pinkamena Party release, brony Drum and Bass legend Neu KatalYst, with the help of Starbrush, delivers a frantic and danceable experimental acid electronic track, reminding me of 90’s acid songs, mostly on an industrial take on the matter – respecting the theme of the Pinkamena Party album – old school eletronic/experimental music. Inspired by the soundtrack of the amazing anime Serial Experiments Lain and by the character of Friendship is Witchcraft – Sweetie Bot, the acid and psychedelic feeling plus the mechanical and cold frantic sounding textures and sounds make it really enjoyable. An experimental acid track with an industrial cherry on the top, making it really good. Good job on this one Neu and Starbrush!
Never Say Neigh – Black Stable: Vol. 2 | Compilation Album | Dubstep / Riddim
The ultra-talented Never Say Neigh crew is back with another, albeit more compact than the last, face-melting compilation album! The shorter length makes it easy to digest in one go and each track has something standout about it. AJ Young’s Old School has a killer drop mixed in with some recognizable OG brony media samples, SKUNKED’s Wrath has some fantastic strings and sound design throughout, Suskii’s F*** You Up has an extremely unique groove in its last drop, and much, much more. This is definitely one of the premiere pony releases this year!
Daniel Ingram – The Spectacle (feat. Lena Hall) (Rod Steven Remix) | Eurobeat
Rod Steven continues to gun for the top of pony Eurobeat with some more impressive pony eurobeat remixes! This time, he tackles the often-remixed Spectacle with an excellent driving groove, some fantastic Eurobeat progressions, and awesome use of the vocals (especially during the “Gimme more…” sections). You may also know Rod for his Odyssey Eurobeat cosplays at conventions, but, following in the master’s footsteps, this guy’s got some serious musical chops and is going places in Eurobeat!
[ASOS] Heartsong – Mountainsong | Ambient / Orchestral
Heartsong has released a new track, and its just what the doctor ordered! Need to get started on a project and want the inspiration to manifest? You’ll have no problem feeling inspired by this epic ambient showpiece! Its finely interwoven with the spirit and sounds of a blossoming nature. You won’t regret listening to this excellently composed work, let the beautiful melodies paint a photo in your head. So? What are you waiting for? Give it a listen!
This song is a part of a compilation album, make sure to check out the rest the of stunning music that is A State of Sugar!
