‘Shy – Distant Dreams | Melodic Dubstep

Feels like it’s been a while since I heard something from ‘Shy, or maybe just a while since I wrote a post about their music. Regardless, I’m loving this new song that puts both melodic and chill elements together in a dubstep track and tops it off with vocal splices from So Many Wonders. Perhaps those vocals are overused, but it’s only because they work well in so many situations…

Reverbrony – Falling Upwards | Progressive Rock

While it still keeps that progressive element (no, not that Progressive Element) found in his songs, Reverbrony’s latest track takes a somewhat lighter approach to its soundscape. Less chunky guitar, more melodically diverse bass lines. Whether or not you prefer it to his heavier work, it’s always great to see some diversity and hear a bit of experimentation!

NeoN – Melancholy | Deep House

Sometimes simple, repetitive melodies work best when it comes to deep house. After all, repetition is often a key part of relaxation. Twist this is with a hint of sadness and you have NeoN latest track, a spiritual successor to Summer Nights.

The Cosine Pitchshifterz & Royalpony – Fanfiction | Rawstyle

Here’s a (rhetorical) question. Which is more important, the end result of a song and the enjoyment it brings to fans, or the authenticity of the work put into it? In this case we’re going with the former, as although this track from TCP and Royalpony heavily samples Radical Redemption & D Sturb’s ‘Kill Me‘, the end result is (partially) transformed into a new idea.

It’s a tricky issue to deal with, with no answer set in stone. For now we’ll just try to enjoy the music though.

tomato.tuesdays – -243°F (Luna) | Electro-Pop

A short but cute (and kinda funky) song for Luna from tomato-tuesdays. I’m not exactly sure  what to label this, but it has a similar feel to some tropical house songs, with a slightly downtempo beat with great percussion and some lovely plucked bass sounds. Oh and the name is pretty clever too, read the description on the video if you’re curious what it means.

FruityFusion – Snow Glider | Drum & Bass

Hot on the heels of the last HMC album release, Fruity is planning another one, seemingly featuring this one as an exclusive, and serving as a preview for what’s yet to come. Smooth dnb with a wintery theme – perfect for a December evening.

Soul Strings – Life In Our Town (covering Rossiboys) | Metal

I remember when the original version of this came out around a year ago or so. Now Soul Strings has taken Rossiboys’ original and turned it from an indie/alt rock anthem into a heavier metal-sounding track, with great results! All picked up by ear, and the solo has even been modified to fit the heavier feel of this version.
