BL1NKY – Dystopia | Dubstep

NB: This was originally posted on Equestria Daily on 28 December 2016.

BL1NKY has been around the music scene for a while, previously going under the alias Core-Ridor and appearing on a couple of the Balloon Party albums and more recently having appeared on a couple of the Ponies at Dawn ones. He’s been a bit silent recently, but he’s back with a chilled out neuro-style dubstep track. The intro and break are pretty relaxed, whilst the drops are relatively mellow too and focus more on some cool neuro design than the heavy wubs you might expect. Make sure to check it out below for a pretty neat track!

Friendship Symphonies – A War Yet To Come | Orchestral

NB: This was originally posted on Equestria Daily on 22 December 2016.

After a few collaborations between Cainbow Rrash and one half of A Symphony of Two, here now comes a completely different style of orchestral, produced by Cainbow alongside the full double of ASoT. Compared to their relatively light tracks, this piece is heavy, strong, and powerful as it steadily grows more epic over time. Inspired by the feel given off by a lot of Hans Zimmer’s music, the epic nature absolutely brings this across. The foreboding atmosphere perfectly represents the impending march of the Changelings, and this is certainly one of my favourite collaborations these guys have done so far.

Quicksilver – Cake Drunk | Punk Rock

NB: This was originally posted on Equestria Daily on 27 December 2016.

Quicksilver is back with another new fun heavy punk rock track that focuses on another silly topic, having already explored others such as socks and celestia’s presence in his washing machine earlier this year. This track focuses on Celestia’s totally-not-an-addiction to… dessert? It’s a pretty fun thing to sing about and it definitely comes across that Quicksilver had some fun with this.

WoodLore – My Sweet Peace (Jyc Row Remix) | Orchestral

NB: This was originally posted on Equestria Daily on 23 December 2016.

My Sweet Peace is one of WoodLore’s most celebrated tracks, and here Jyc Row has taken it and turned it into an orchestral epic. 6 minutes in length, it builds through the vocals and some well placed orchestral elements, giving way to some more powerful vocal sounds and strings, and that trademark celtic feel of Jyc’s tracks. A really awesome reinterpretation, it’s definitely worth giving a listen!

Maressey – There is a Light That Never Goes Out | Indie

NB: This was originally posted on Equestria Daily on 22 December 2016.

One of the coolest fandom music projects is back! Maressey is an ambitious project that aims to produce high quality pony-focused tributes to The Smiths. They’ve just released their 4th album, The Brony Album, which focuses on a lot of fandom related things, such as EQD, Bronycon, Rule 34 and Cosplay. This track, featuring amazing vocals from AdamTh3Walker, a strong instrumental from Johnny Mare and mixing from project-head Freewave, deals with the after effects of the eventual ending on the show, whenever it may be. Make sure to check it out for a really strongly produced track about a poignant topic of conversation.

Flittzy – More To Me | Tropical House / Pop

NB: This was originally posted on Equestria Daily on 21 December 2016.

Flittzy returns with another upbeat pop-y track. Featuring some pretty nice vocals and a bright tropical house-influenced instrumental, it’s great to see a new piece from him. Carried throughout by some piano, some really nice synth melodies help to complement the vocals. Make sure to check it out below for some tropical pop released just in time for Luna Day!

Ponytronic – Near Clear Skies (Sky Runner Remix) | Drum & Bass

NB: This is an edited version of what was originally posted on Equestria Daily on 19 December 2016.

The dnb crew have been on fire recently! The second of today’s features to include Sky Runner is a remix of Ponytronic’s track Near Clear Skies. This one is a lot more traditional d&b in style than the earlier post, though with some cool chord modulation in the second half.

Hay Tea & Sky Runner – Final Battle | Chiptune Drum & Bass

NB: This is an edited version of what was originally posted on Equestria Daily on 19 December 2016.

The drum & bass never stops! Here’s one from Sky Runner, collaborating with Hay Tea to produce a fusion of drum & bass with chiptune. Some of the chip sounds are a little on the harsh side, but it mixes really well with the other electronic elements to create something I’d totally dig as final boss music.

Daniel Ingram – Midnight In Me (bank pain Remix) | Melodic Dubstep

NB: This was originally posted on Equestria Daily on 18 December 2016.

bank pain is back at it again, with this remix of Equestria Girls song, Midnight In Me. Whilst this came out on his soundcloud a couple of months ago, it only just reached YouTube, and it’s definitely been worth the wait! Probably one of the strongest remixes I’ve heard of this (and any other) track from EQG4, he’s taken on the multiple different tempos of the original with much success, and a combination of some strong percussion and great sound design help to complement the vocals wonderfully, with some really awesome use of the melody too.
