Elias Frost – Legend You Are Meant To Be (Cover) | Metal

NB: This was originally posted on Equestria Daily on 5 July 2018.

Elias Frost has another cover of a track from Legend Of Everfree, which means he’s covered most of them by now with only a couple more that he’ll doubtless get to in future. This one’s got a great uplifting feel in keeping with the original, but a bit more metal to it of course.

Jyc Row & PegasYs – Going Far (feat. Michelle Creber) | Orchestral

NB: This was originally posted on Equestria Daily on 30 June 2018.

Teaming up with PegasYs, Jyc Row has a new track featuring a prominent voice from the show! After Onwards last year which included Aloma Steele, the singing voice of Luna’s Future, he’s now teamed up with Michelle Creber, voice of Applebloom. The orchestral instrumental complements the vocals and PegasYs’ lyrics and vocal melodies fit Michelle’s voice wonderfully.

R3CTIFIER will be performing later this year at BronyCon, and this exclusive track released to celebrate that fact is a great example of why! There are a bunch of badass female lead characters in the show which provide the inspiration behind this track, as it builds up through some catchy vocal chops before hitting with some of R3C’s classic heavy sound design.

Elevative – Daybreak (feat. BluNoseReindeer) | Hardcore

NB: This was originally posted on Equestria Daily on 4 July 2018.

Elevative, previously known as DJ Rod, has up this point been known more for his DJing (which has brought him to the mainstage at BronyCon later this year), but this track is a good example of how he’s growing as a producer as well. Featuring some awesome vocals from BluNoseReindeer, it focuses heavily on a nice lead synth throughout a fairly minimal drop that nonetheless still has some nice energy to it.

St. Pinkie – Ombak Singapura! (Fiesta SEAPonyCon Theme) | Pop

NB: This was originally posted on Equestria Daily on 1 July 2018.

SEAPonyCon is coming back for another year, and this time it’s being held in Singapore over the last weekend of October. To celebrate this, St. Pinkie has put together an awesome upbeat pop rock anthem for the convention, with lyrics in both English and Malay. It comes together with an awesome lyric video that shows a bunch of pictures from the last SEAPonyCon during the instrumental parts of the track, so check all that out below as well as some extra info about the convention!

Silva Hound – Dash Of Lightning | House

NB: This was originally posted on Equestria Daily on 30 June 2018.

Silva Hound has another new tune out from his upcoming Equestrian Stories EP, this time focused on Lightning Dust. A somewhat anthemic house tune, the real highlight for me is the strings and vocal chorus in the break, which is sung by Namii, PrinceWhateverer, Lavender, Chi-Chi and Vylet.

iblank2apples – Not Safe For Books (Single Purpose Remix) | Drum & Bass

NB: This was originally posted on Equestria Daily on 30 June 2018.

Single Purpose has been around a fair few months on Soundcloud, but they’ve only recently ported all their tunes over to YouTube, and in my opinion this remix is certainly the most impressive of them! A smooth drum & bass remix of iblank2apples’ Twilight tune, there’s fantastic use of vocal samples and groovy chords throughout the track with excellent drums as well.

Daniel Ingram – Love Is In Bloom (loophoof Remix) | House

NB: This was originally posted on Equestria Daily on 28 June 2018.

I’ve really been loving loophoof’s music lately, and another show song remix from him is great to see! This time he tackles the old classic party song Love Is In Bloom, making excellent use of the vocals throughout. Some high energy supersaws combine with awesome vocal manipulation to create something pretty great!

Sky Runner – Empty | Drum & Bass

NB: This was originally posted on Equestria Daily on 27 June 2018.

There’s sure been a bunch of this Delta-related stuff lately, but I’m not complaining if it means music as good as this! Sky Runner’s abilities to bring out the emotion in a composition is well on show here with lovely soft drums, melancholy piano and a gorgeous atmosphere.

Frozen Night – Her Nightmare | Orchestral

NB: This was originally posted on Equestria Daily on 25 June 2018.

Frozen Night’s recent orchestral works have just been getting better and better, with the culmination of their efforts being their new album Into The Evernight. This track is the last to be released from it, and you can go buy the full collection of their most releases on Bandcamp here! Beyond that, this piece itself is full of gorgeous orchestration as it mixes epic sequences with some soft and beautiful ones, and a hint of guitar too.
