Got a lot of potential from this artist who- while seemingly in the learning phases of production and sound design- seems to brandish a very strong capacity for theory and composition. I think it will be very exciting to see how their sound evolves if they choose to adopt a more concrete EDM influence to their structure while still preserving their beautiful melodic complexity.

Kaoss Walker – The Vengeful Journey | Experimental Rock
Having already proved an affinity for being able to create diverse compositions, Kaoss Walker pushes that even further with this latest instrumental. The piece starts off with a very ethereal intro before diving into some pretty solid rock riffs. Lot of unheard talent in this artist.
Nicolas Dominique – Starforging | Electronic
Another track off the Opalescence charity album, Nicolas presents a new electronic tune. Featuring a steady beat underneath gentle melodies, the song creates a mystical vibe inspired by the princess of the night.
SlightlyAmiss – One Winter’s Day | Acoustic
Here’s an acoustic track inspired by Rainbow Dash’s struggles to accept the (temporary) loss of her friend. SlightlyAmiss does a strong job of translating her lament into a lyrical composition. You can find the lyrics in the video description.
Lunar Dance – Ancient Power | Trance/Dubstep
Here’s an experimental composition from Lunar Dance. Seeking to blend the atmospheric energy of trance with aggressive soundscape of dubstep, the track presents uplifting pads, bright melodies, and bold wobble basslines.
Totalspark – Forgotten | Chillout
Piano, strings, and synth weave together to produce three minutes of chill, courtesy of Totalspark. While relaxing, the composition does present a solemn tone, as reflected in the its title.
Cosine Pitchshifterz – Beg For Me (ft. Wubcake) | Rawstyle
Here’s something more aggressive than the last couple pop tracks. Another tune off the Opalescence charity album, Cosine presents a hardstyle track featuring some voice acting courtesy of Wubcake.
Direct Current – Thermal | Chillout
Direct Current is back with another chill tune. If you’re looking to relax, here’s a chance to drift along with some ethereal melodies as they dance over an easy going rhythm.
Crystal Slave – Ghost in my Heart | Electro-Pop
NB: The original video was deleted, the above is an archive re-upload.
Woo! Got a super fun tune here from Crystal Slave. Catchy vocals and arpeggiating chip tune leads bounce along over top of a grooving reverse bass to create a deceptively upbeat track considering it’s seemingly inspired by Pinkamena. But perhaps that’s part of the message 🙂
