Poster featuring the Rave of the House of Belles 2023 schedule

The annual charity event, the Rave for the House of Belles, is having its main event this weekend! This two-day concert event is held to raise awareness and funds for Mezair, a friend of the organisers and a plushie maker whose father is battling stage 4 cancer. Over the course of this weekend, you can catch 21 different sets from a range of performers and DJs, from 3pm Eastern each day.

The whole thing will be streamed on the Rave’s new Twitch channel, or on Emma’s YouTube channel. You can also join the Rave’s Discord server to find out more info and chat fellow ravers.

As mentioned above, this is all being run to raise money for Mezair’s father in his battle against stage 4 Lymphoma. The best way to give financial support is to contribute to Mezair’s Ko-fi if you are able. The next best thing is to spread the word of the event to help raise awareness. We hope to see yout there!

Childlike Wonder feat. GreenyPika – Magic (covering The Living Tombstone) | Midtempo

Childlike Wonder has visited an old song from The Living Tombstone with from all the way back in 2012! Adding a fresh coat of paint and modernizing the mix while still nailing the classic style and feel of the original with the familiar upbeat melody and catchy vocals and an updated refined feel to the plucky synths and rolling basslines. Its quite interesting to bounce between both this cover and the original to see just how its evolved after over a decade. So don’t just give this one a listen I encourage you to go back and listen to the original as well; conveniently linked within the description!

[Equinity] Yashn – Lost in the Everfree | Orchestral

Featured in Equinity 06, Yashn has constructed a wonderfully dark orchestration here. Opening on tense strings and an ominous whisper of textures this song is episodic in nature going from navigating the mysterious eerie lands to sudden full blown chase sequences with frantic movements and a wide array of instrumentation without being overcrowded! Don’t get lost after dark, and do not trust the shadows.

Vylet Pony – i don’t know how to tell you that you’re my best friend (and that i love you) | Pop

Vylet knocks it out once again with a very emotional mouthful of a song! Opening with a myriad of stellar stereo cacophony and heartwarming vocals the stage is not only set as something great it gets raised even higher with the ever changing energy and vibe this song plays out in what feels like different acts that grab your attention and refuse to let go! ‘tell you’, in short; A truly wonderful piece that goes by in a flash but leaves a lasting impression.

Japkozjad & Acid Applejack – Dreamland | Happy Hardcore

Japkozjad and Acid Applejack have teamed up for one hell of a banger! Happy Hardcore is a very colourful genre and they use that to their full advantage! Featuring a beautiful arrangement for the verses, the melody will get stuck in your head right from the get-go with a fun piano arrangement before the synths take over with full force! The verse is enough to get you hyped but mix of a melodic and drum build ups raises the excitement through the roof before the drop kicks you out your chair! The drop features a lot of fun elements, most notably some very audible hi-hats that bring a really nice flow into the whole track, and then there’s the kicks, the kicks are probably not what you’d expect from a Happy Hardcore track! While usually you’d expect the kick to take full center stage, in this track the kick actually does not do that, interestingly enough it gives a lot of space for the melody to really shine and show off, and the kick is no classic kick either, it’s a light and refreshing sound, almost sounding like a laser kick! This track is pretty much the definition of upbeat Happy Hardcore so definitely give it several good listens!

Luck Rock – More Pinkie Pie | Showtunes / Pop

Luck Rock’s latest track resurfaces an older demo originally written back in 2018. “More Pinkie Pie” is a fun song based on “Too Many Pinkie Pies” from season 3. It features very smooth, glass-like synths and piano reminiscent of the mirror pool. The lyrics play on the episode’s plot, mentioning the doublings with its numeric chorus, but also the more sinister side of “counting the bodies” as her friends try to find the real Pinkie. Hopefully they find the right one.
