fractilx – Lunar Ascension | Drum & Bass
Here’s another deliciously upbeat and energetic track from fractilx. The tune hurtles forward on a boldly accelerated rhythm through a sea of chiming bells and piano and is really driven home by a beautifully crafted melody. Awesome work all around.
Groskar – The Monster of Everfree Forest (Chang31ing Remix) | Drumstep
It looks like one of the hottest tunes of 2015 has resurfaced as a brilliant remix by Chang31ing. The track features some great diversity in the pacing while preserving the raw power of the original, so if you’re looking for some truly sinister syncopation, be sure to check it out!
Next Level Derp – Wooden Wolves | Terrorcore
Lurking within the depths of the Everfree, we find an inspiring amount of promise in the grit of NLD’s new thrasher of a track. Though it’s certainly not for everyone, this composition boldly pursues a dark and aggressive direction that even few of the community’s established hardcore artists have dared to explore. Derp does a fantastic job in presenting a brutally industrial kick that anchors the supporting atmospheric distortions while the track smartly paces itself and manages to shake things up with a series of syncopated riffs. I do think the addition of some ethnic drums and just more auxiliary percussion would help ratchet up the energy of the tune, but this is a brilliant initial stab into a foreign genre from a very new artist. You can download it for free as part of a two track EP on NLD’s bandcamp, and if you’re excited to hear more, be sure to subscribe to his newly formed YouTube and Soundcloud.
うすうすベア – CIDR.XXX | Gabber
If you’re looking to savor a new hardcore track, fractilx is serving up some top grade gabber to quench your thirst. This tune features an energetic array of elements from anthemic supersaws to fluttering acid riffs, all propelled forward by both amen breaks and punchy gabber kicks to make for brilliantly energetic cocktail. If you’re looking for something upbeat, you’re sure to get your money’s worth.
PekaNo – Always in my Heart | Frenchcore
It looks like another artist is beginning to venture into the rougher side of dance music, and PekaNo does a great job with their initial foray into frenchcore! Vocal chops and an arpeggiating synth dance around the iconic grit of the pumping hardcore kick to make for a nice groove, though I’m excited to see the result of including some more auxiliary percussion, dynamic atmosphere, and a consistent use of vocals in a future release. Keep it up!
Equestrian Melodies – The Element of Darkness | Orchestral
In another episode of “Art as Told by Music”, Equestrian Melodies presents a suspenseful instrumental narrative of Luna’s decent into Nightmare Moon. Dramatic strings and swelling horns are punctuated by the dark thumping of a timpani to create a classically chilling atmosphere.
Mad Mars – Freeze Today | Piano Rock
The first of four songs from a forthcoming album, this Mad Mars track features the tale of a young Shining Armor who has fallen in love with his future bride-to-be.
Freewave – The Mistake | Synthwave
Check out this narrative synthwave tune from Freewave’s album, “The Long Goodbye”. Like the rest of the tracks on the release, it manages to encapsulate an episode of season five through an impressive diversity of style.
Ponycide – Lost In The Everfree | Trip Hop
