Vahts – Fancy Mathmatics | Synthwave / Trap

Help someone let Francis use of them electronic music thingamajigs…

… and the result is actually alright, surprisingly catchy too. Check it out for something a bit different and experimental from our otherwise rock-orientated friend.

P@D 🎵 hype 👏 time 🕖 with 👏 Cider 🍺 Party 🎉 ! With the new Ponies At Dawn album dropping this Friday, the Cider Party pre-releases continue with this banger from the fantastic MrMehster and N. Hollow.

Go check this out for an idea of what to expect this Friday…

Sarah P. – The Magic Inside (covering Daniel Ingram) | Indie Pop

A rather different style of cover now – something which might be a bit hit or miss but still probably worth sharing. The latest release on A Little Bit for Charity’s YouTube channel, this cover of The Magic Inside has a rather unique vocal style, with very gentle accompanying instruments and almost a Christmas music vibe to it, since it’s filled with lots of percussive bells. Check it out if that sounds like your kind of thing.

Denz Xavier & Stormblaze – The Starlight Glimmer Experience | Parody

Red Dwarf fans, rejoice! Admittedly, I’ve never seen Red Dward so I didn’t get the joke, but still, it’s a deliberately fun little song that may or may not bring trigger memories of cheap amusement parks…

Daniel Ingram – At The Gala (RoyalPony Remix) | Hardstyle

Not long after their recent Christmasy song, Royalpony is back again with a remix of At The Gala in celebration of the new year. Expect his usual style, go check it out if you like to kickstart your day with an 00nt5.

[P@D] DJT & ExplodingPonyToast – Sugar Shy | Indie Dance

[inb4 I get flak for putting earlier songs on hold to talk about this]

It’s that time again. The upcoming Ponies At Dawn album, Amity, is due to be released next Friday 13th January. And so we’re having some special pre-releases on Cider Party to give you an idea of some of the stuff on the album. This installment is a much more collaborative work – every track on Amity is either a collaboration or a remix (hence the name) – and to show that we’ve got DJT and EPT’s track Sugar Shy. While none of us can agree on the genre, we agree that it’s a great track, and the art is fitting and super cute.

We’ll have more info on pre-ordering the album and the livestream party in a couple of days. Keep an eye out for that!

bank pain – Tea Leaves | Drum & Bass | Equicity returns!

You’d be forgiven if you’ve not heard of Equicity – over 2 years ago after publishing 9 songs, the promotion channel closed its doors, its owners heading down slightly different paths in the fandom. But with a recent growth in the quality and quantity of drum & bass producers making a name for themselves in the fandom, it has been reborn under new management.

And to kickstart the return of the channel, Equicity presents Tea Leaves by bank pain. Although perhaps better known for some of his hard-hitting tracks, bank pain takes on the liquid flavour of dnb here, with crisp and clean yet perfectly flowing drum loops and smooth basses.

FWLR – Good Intentions | Electro House

What’s this? A new challenger appears? Whether or FWLR is gonna stick around the brony music scene at all, as hackd said on the above Cider Party video, “any artist who’s got the guts and humor to throw in some pony vocals onto a track is going to be pretty rad“. And besides, this song is just as good as many of the other top-notch tracks we see round these parts, so I happily welcome Good Intentions with open arms. Great job FWLR, hope to see you around in the future!

Ponysphere & Reverbrony – Echoes | Metal

NB: This was originally posted on Equestria Daily on 3 January 2016.

Two of the best in the metal scene, Reverbrony and Ponysphere have teamed up to produce a heavy and powerful tune about AJ called Echoes. They’ve each uploaded a different master version on their respective channels for this one. The first, Reverbrony’s version, is an instrumental that puts a lot more oomph into the instrumental, whilst Ponysphere’s includes some pretty awesome hardcore vocals from him.
