Elias Frost – Mad Twience (Covering Daniel Ingram) | Synthpop / New Wave

Russian musician Elias Frost returns with a 80’s Synthpop / New Wave cover of one of the songs from the Equestria Girls shorts.

Elias Frost’s vocals capacity fits with this Synthpop instrumental, proving also that Elias is a good player and also a good vocalist. This cover really will take you on a journey through the 80’s New Wave scene! You really will enjoy and love this amazing cover, if you are into the popular rock music of the beginnings of the 80’s. Elias Frost is an experimentalist in the rock/metal genre, always coming with new genres for his tracks and this cover proves it! All that robotic vocals, I love them!

Sprocket – Perchance To Dream | Alternative Rock / Blues Rock / Alternative Dance

Coming from the concept album The Princess Variations, Sprocket delivers a 6 minutes track full of emotion and commitment in the track, that I must say, it’s amazing!

The first part reminds me of Supermassive Black Hole by Muse, then Sprocket vocals are soo Blues vocals, also I can feel in the second part of the song some Blues Rock influence with the mix between the guitar riff and the keyboard sounds. Sprocket vocals are really flexible from highs look-a-like David Bowie and the vox vocals look like some really cool modern Alternative Dance band. The guitar riff is really amazing, so chill, along with the bass that is listenable are is so satisfying.

6 minutes of pure awesomeness! Listen to the track, is really amazing! Also, don’t forget to download/buy The Princess Variations on his bandcamp!

Nicolas Dominique – Missing | Ambient / Chillout

Another great song coming from Nicolas Dominique. I guess that Nicolas is the Tim Hecker of the brony fandom. When we think about brony ambient/progressive electronics, Nicolas Dominique is the first name that comes out of our mind.

Missing describes Nicolas’ theory in what happened to AJ’s parents. They disappeared in the middle of Everfree Forest. And I clearly can feel the emotions in the song that represent the feeling of know that someone you love disappeared and police is trying to find what happened. Good track for a movie/series where the police investigate kidnappings.

Listen to this song, the progressions of the synth bring more and more emotions and feelings.

[LDB] Hay Tea – Tales of the Sickly (feat. N. Hollow) | Boom Bap / Jazz Rap

Coming from the third compilation album of Lycan Dese Beats. Hay Tea collabs with the rapper N. Hollow in this sick Kendrick Lamar/A Tribe Called Quest look like jazz rap song.

The song that talks about Princess Luna and Starlight Glimmer is one of the best songs that is on this album. The guitar riffs, the really catchy synths in the bridge of the song, and the great vocal capacity of the MC N. Hollow contributes to make this song very awesome!

[P@D] Luna Ticks – Empathy Is For The Common Folk | Skate Punk / Pop Punk

Coming from the latest Ponies At Dawn album: Guardians, the supergroup consisted by the multi-instrumentalist Quicksilver and the iconic vocalist Francis Vace made a 2 minutes pop punk with skate punk feel track inspired by Rainbow Dash.

The mastering made on the track is amazing, also here we can see the lyrical capacity of Francis Vace and that his vocals are very iconic in this fandom. Quicksilver composition for the instrumental is also on point, the guitar riffs and the bassline plus the awesome drums are very well performed. This track reminds me of Skate Punk/Pop Punk/Melodic Hardcore acts like Sum 41, Pennywise, Bad Religion, Green Day and The Offspring.

Damn son, why you didn’t download Guardians yet? Make that now (Or if you are rich, buy it).

Viricide Filly – These Bitter Wings | UK Garage / House

Second Back From Reality song that got featured on Cider Party! Congratulations Viricide Filly! Finally she is deserving her award for her 3 years of hard work.

The vocal chops are so well performed that make a beautiful synth! The mix between the robotic vocals of Viricide and the synth work and the drum work is amazing! Perfectly the best track from Viricide’s latest album. Also, I loved that sample of Rainbow Dash’s LOUDERRRR!

Also, just for saying this, Viricide is very good in writing lyrics and giving the real meaning to the song. Basically this song is about a breakdown of Viricide’s OC, Eleanor, also because this album is a concept album about her OC.  Not moving an inch, these bitter wings want me dead – this song has really some meaningful and deep messages inside of it. Basically the “bitter wings” are the every single crack of her troubled pasts. Loved the “solo” done with the synths at the end of the song, it was very awesome!

Download or buy Back From Reality in Viricide’s bandcamp. Support a 3 years producing work in you have money.

Francis Vace – My Favorite Thing About Horses | Acoustic

The 10th track from his newest album The Old Mare And The Sea, Francis Vace sings about his favorite things about horses, in a humorous and acoustic way in his guitar. You already know that is a Francis’ song just because of Vace’s rough and aggressive vocals,  which are fitting for his ska/punk tracks. But what we don’t know is that his vocals also fit into progressive house tracks, pirate folk songs, or even acoustic songs like this one, with very pleasing guitar riffs.

Also who doesn’t love some ‘topical’ humor?

Download or buy The Old Mare And The Sea from Francis’ Bandcamp page.

Hay Tea – Waiting Room | Drum & Bass / Jazzstep

Hay Tea, one of the first artists that I think when someone asks me to name a Drum & Bass brony musician.

“Waiting Room” isn’t just another drum & bass experiment, this time I can see that Hay Tea used Jazz elements in the track, reminding of the smooth jazz tracks that are played in the stations while we are waiting for the metropolitan arrives.

I love the track, this is pretty good, be sure to check out more of Hay Tea, Hay Tea is a DnB genious!

[P@D] R3CTIFIER – Artillery | Brostep

The wubs of R3C are back in the 56th track of the recent Ponies At Dawn album: Guardians. R3CTIFIER has given birth to a lot of really cool tracks and he is submitting tracks to P@D since Starlit Flames.

“Artillery” is a nice and aggressive Brostep track it gave me chills when the first drop arrived and joint that with the samples used more the orchestral elements and the incredible synth work, and you got an amazing track. Everything gives a creepy and etheral atmosphere to the track that is really spooky.

Download already Guardians, what you are waiting for? (You can buy also if you are rich).
