A soothing and airy remix by Ice Angel. Opening with a crisp acoustic guitar melody building into a wondrous future bass track and bridges the gaps with iterations of orchestral, piano solos, and even rock. This remix gives a little something for everyone and is a nice heartfelt piece!
Year: 2019
Daniel Ingram – Open Up Your Eyes (Tripon Remix) | Neurofunk
Tripon is back with a really cool twist on Open Up Your Eyes! Starting off with some sharp and eerie plucks the track quickly builds into an absolute banger with an intense bassline with a shuffled rhythm adding to the madness! Tempest cuts through the mix surprisingly well and the ‘softer’ part that we all know from the original also gets the full treatment with a calmer atmosphere and a little room to take a quick break before we get back into the meat of things! This is one of my favourite remixes of this song to date and if you’re looking for a unique remix, you’ve got one right here!
CisumClassic – Location Themes Part 1 (MLP RPG) | Soundtrack
CisumClassic is going strong with a full album’s worth of instrumental themes for different Equestrian locations. The whole soundtrack is set in RPG style music and varies greatly from world to world. From the western flair of Appleoosa, the chill sounds of the Breezie Village, the ominous setting in Chrysalis’ Lair, and so many more, this compilation has something for everyone!
Also: there is a part 2!
Koron Korak – Confrontations | Darksynth
Koron Korak is always good for an off-meta style track and Confrontations is certainly unique! The track starts with off with a strong, ominous organ and transitions into a distorted, almost nightmarish track. The prevailing synth sets the dark tone while the drum beat keeps the intense emotion. Some high voices and powerful bass bring the track together in an awesome and powerful way!
Evgeniy Doctor – Lethal Wrap Up | Progressive Trance
Based off of the track Lethal Industry by Tiesto and blending a heavily processed version of Winter Wrap Up, Evgeniy delivers an energetic and fun track with a very smooth progression that stays interesting throughout. I especially like how the vocals are reminiscent of General Mumble’s style with just enough distortion and tuning and helps bring out the darkness in the track without smothering it completely. An excellent track all around!
Forgiveness & Anguish – Another Day Away | Future Garage / Chillout
Its been nearly two years since I last heard from Forgiveness & Anguish and Another Day Away comes in with a dissonant and mysterious atmosphere with an impeccable sound stage and I absolutely adore the percussive low end energy that glues it all together. This is a very professional and unique sounding track and its an awesome way to re-enter after so many days away!
Toby Macarony – I’ve Watched You | Hybrid Orchestral / Dark Acapella
We’ve come a long way haven’t we? This is a surprisingly sweet tune from Toby as it leads in with a gentle acoustic guitar melody and a soothing backing of strings to harmonize with the iconic vocals from the Season Three Finale, “Celestia’s Ballad” but it wouldn’t be Toby if he left us on that, right? I can assure you as time goes on the track will flip on its head with a masterful use of complex chords and harmonization with a foreboding atmosphere and an almost industrial sound. It threw me for a loop the first time I heard it and I hope the same can be said to those who have yet to listen!
MelodyBrony – This Kingdom | Djent
MelodyBrony has been on quite the roll recently with their intense, metal tracks! This Kingdom is based off the season 9 premier and Twilight’s inner fear of running the entire kingdom of Equestria. The melody intersperses pauses that add a unique tension to the track and cause unease, as if you are experiencing the anxiety yourself. The guitar parts have a nice technical quality that show off Melody’s continued growth. If you like the lower, grungier rock tones, and especially if you DJENT, then make sure to have a listen!
Rusty – 22nd Jeremiah |Indie Pop / Experimental
Rusty is back at it again with their unique style of story telling! This song is a haunting tale of the 22nd Jeremiah; a rusted metal husk of a ship said to contain countless souls and horrors lost at sea generations ago. The vocal processing is quite intriguing, and the steady rise and fall of the melody as it blends electronic elements and pirate themed instrumentation really sells the story! The amount of unorthodox distortions and rigid aspects are quite an experimental treat! If a haunting shanty is what you are after then you’ve found the right song!
[P@D] 4EverfreeBrony – Super Fan | Pop Rock
It’s Ponies at Dawn time once again and that of course means 4EverfreeBrony has another fantastic release! This exclusive pre-release comes with an awesome PMV put together by JackDC93. Super Fan is sung from the viewpoint of Scootaloo using pleasant melodies and a solid rock performance. 4EverfreeBrony addresses her disabilities and hardships with growing up while highlighting her own self-worth as Rainbow Dash’s super fan. The track is wholesome and extremely well produced as you would expect from the fandom veteran, and the PMV furthers the hype for the big release this Friday!
