So many ASOS features, so little time. Tronic’s trying his hand at future bass again with a nice chill song with wobbly chords and cute music box sounds. It takes an influence from Zecora, with a little backstory in the description too.
Check out the whole ASOS: Candy album here, and you can download it for free too!
Sugar, Spice, and everything nice! That’s a close enough reference and it’s time for a new ASoS album! Since the release of Lollipop this summer, the compilation album side of this project has grown alongside the promo channel that they run – this album features 36 brand new songs, and a good 2 hours or so of music for you to enjoy. The album covers a lot of the more melodic side of electronic music, as the ASoS label tends to do. There’s plenty of future bass, trance and chill stuff, but also the fair share of dubstep and bass house, and everything inbetween!
Also dat artwork, amirite?
Candy is available to download from A State of Sugar’s bandcamp page, completely for free (but you can donate if you’re feeling generous).
It is time. ASoS are releasing their second compilation album Candy today, and as with Lollipop, they’re having a livestream of the album on PonyvilleFM today! It starts at 12 midday Eastern time, and you can join the chat at https://ponyvillefm.com/chat or in their Discord server!
And of course, we’ll post the album here once it’s released!
I think someone’s been playing a lot of Half-Life 2… Nicolas here delves into his speciality ambient style with a cross between music and fanfiction. This 9-minute track is accompanied by a short story in the description describing each movement of the song.
There have definitely been covers of this, but this is definitely the first remix I’ve ever seen of the Battle For Sugar Belle. 174UDSI took the up the challenge and added his usual trance/house style to turn this from a little pop ditty into an upbeat dance track.
It was only a matter of time before someone named themselves after a movie character, so here’s an original piece from newcomer TempestShadow dedicated to the beloved fanon character Snowdrop. Slow-moving, sweeping string chords are led by a solo flute and choral vocals which interchange and carry the melody throughout the song.
A simple little piece from Lorris here. It’s not overly complex (and Lorris admittedly only spent a few hours on it), but the combination of piano and strings, both sweeping and spiccato is always nice to hear.
We had this song featured as part of Arch’s mixtape of the same name back in July, but while he was out at Nightmare Nights this October, he shot a music video for this song with the help of EJP3films and Step 2 Harmony! Music videos aren’t common at all in the fandom music scene, especially not live action ones, so this is really exciting to see! I could definitely get used to more things like this.
The original version of Emergence was a house(ish) track from nearly 3 years ago. Not only has Totalspark been constantly improving since then, but this VIP completely reworks the song into a full-on rock-infused (shoutout to Panic on guitar) DnB/Drumstep banger! I’m loving the chords too, I’m a sucker for all those [bIII], [bVI] and [bVII] chords. Great job Sparky!
Apologies for the delay on this month’s episode. But never fear, the songs are still fresh, and best served hot!
To listen in live, tune in to Ponyville FM at 4PM Eastern on the last Sunday of each month (when we’re on time)!
