New affiliate – Cider Party returns!

Cider Party, the promotional channel for electronic brony music, is back after a few months’ hiatus, now powered by the HMH team! Consequently the channel will now act as a sub-entity of the Horse Music Herald, an advanced affiliate of sorts.

Cider Party

Cider Party was founded by Spikey Wikey, AKA Tacos, in September 2014 as a way to promote electronic songs and artists in the brony music scene. It originally ran, posting multiple songs each week, until September 2015, when Spikey felt he needed to step down from the channel, as ultimately the task of following the entirety of the brony music collective, managing video uploads, and hunting for the best art to use is a far greater commitment than any individual should be expected to so consistently carry out. But while it’s been dormant, we have managed to construct a means of putting the channel back on track for regular uploads of the best electronic music the fandom has to offer, and we hope to do just that. You can find the channel right here.

To kick things off, we’re taking a track from the last Ponies at Dawn album that was never released on YouTube. So sit back and enjoy Morgsch – Let The Sun Rise (Exiark Remix).

Audio

Panic – Calm Wind | House

Panic (or should that be UndreamedPanic? Nobody knows!) brings the usual quality electronic tracks again. If you’re familiar with his music you’ll know what to expect. If not, there’s a ton of tracks waiting for you, go check them out!

Audio

Denz Xavier – Soarin Free (MeetSouder’s Orchestral Arrangement) | Orchestral

We posted the original version of this song by Denz Xavier here here a few weeks ago, and now we have an orchestral version by Meetsounder. It’s always interesting to hear alternative versions of songs we know, keep up the good work MeetSouder!

Audio

Wootmaster – Lack of Faith | Hip-Hop

(Explicity lyrics in case of sensitive ears) Incoming fandom drama opinions: Wootmaster is back again with a track expressing his feelings about fandom loyalty and all that jazz. I guess you could say spoiler alert too regarding this one…

Audio

Daniel Ingram – The Spectacle (5OUND Remix) | Drum & Bass

Standing at a whopping 9:17, this is certainly one of the longer remixes I’ve heard of this song (not that I’m one to talk, I once made a 12-minute House track!). Buckle up and get ready for a smooth DnB razzle-dazzling!

Audio

ChickenSteve – We’ll Be With You | Electro-Pop

I haven’t heard of ChickenSteve’s music before, but he’s apparently been making music for about a year now. Here’s his most recent track, We’ll Be With You, an upbeat redemption song of sorts for Starlight Glimmer.

Audio

Soul Strings – Patchwork (Kaleidoscopic Act) | Progressive Metal

Nothing like a bit of metal to start off your day, eh? Soul “Dream Explorer” Strings (because two names are better than one!) has a new instrumental metal track entitled Patchwork, so called because it consists of many parts. It’s a really interesting piece that keeps changing tempo, key and time signature!

Audio

Luna Jax – Maybe That’s Just What I Need | Soft Rock

Luna Jax’s voice is always a delight to my ears, and this song is no exception. Heartfelt lyrics that tell a story involving Dashie and Gilda,  beautiful harmonies, and a great instrumental backing it up; and it was written for FAWM, so hopefully there’ll be a few more songs to come 😉
