FritzyBeat – Polychromatic (covering Turquoise Splash) | Pop Rock

NB: This was originally posted on Equestria Daily on 19 February 2017.

Originally a piece by Turquoise Splash released all the way back in 2012, Polychromatic has been done up in a new coat of paint by FritzyBeat with some help from Jastrian and a very cute animation made by Yudhaikeledai. Fritzy’s vocals fit the track really well, with a similar feel to the original ones, and the mixing provided by Jastrian helps to make sure the instrumental doesn’t feel aged much at all.

Jyc Row & Francis Vace feat. IbeCo – Celestial Berserkers (Dr. R4MS Remix) | Bounce

It’s not often that you hear melbourne in the fandom, and it’s really done well in Dr. R4MS’ remix of Celestial Berserkers! The use of the guitar from the original is perfect & has elements from the original, while creating a new feel on its own. The progression of the whole remix is stellar & the percussion that shines in the second drop gives it more richness that makes the song as a whole sound really clean. A wonderful remix done by Dr. R4MS!

HoriXZ0n & Mantlegen – Folds Beyond Supersymmetry | Electro House

This is one collab that is sure to be addictive.

The mix of HoriXZ0n’s electro style & plucks, along with Mantegen’s vibrato leads are a wonderful combination that create a fun track!

Now time for Suskii’s VIP of his recent track Wizards!, and he’s upped the quality of the track in general with some very cool new sound design and overall it’s a super professional sounding piece.

[P@D] UndreamedPanic & Totalspark – Arabian Ponies | Bass House

NB: This was originally posted on Equestria Daily on 19 February 2017.

UndreamedPanic is always excellent with the bass house-style sound design, and Totalspark always throws up some pretty neat chords, so this combination is a match that works terrifically. Together the two of them have crafted a pretty unique sounding track that definitely has an arabian flair.

Phoxi & R3ctifier – Overwrite_Deity (Chang31ing Remix) | Electro

NB: This was originally posted on Equestria Daily on 17 February 2017.

Chang31ing has whipped up a remix of Phoxi and R3CTIFIER’s recent piece. Whilst the original was about as heavy as it gets, this remix is a lot more pared back with a focus on deep rolling bass design. It still retains some of the ambient sounds present originally, which definitely provides a nice callback.

[P@D] Paralol, Phoxi & Prey – Horse Protocol | Tech House

NB: This is an edited version of what was originally posted on Equestria Daily on 17 February 2017.

Time for a bit of tech house from the latest Ponies At Dawn album, with a steadily evolving beat that has some evident influence from all 3 of the creators. It’s not a genre we get often here so it’s cool to hear it done so well!

Einarx – Evening Rain | Drum & Bass

NB: This is an edited version of what was originally posted on Equestria Daily on 16 February 2017.

Now time for a track from Einarx’s recently released EP (watch out for a feature soonish), and features some beautiful violin sounds leading into a vocal chop-filled build that culminates in a heavy synth-driven drum & bass drop.

[SoK] Miles Kintner – A Time That Once Was | Piano Solo

NB: This  is an edited version of what was originally posted on Equestria Daily on 17 February 2017.

Here we have piano piece from Miles Kintner, a musician previously unfamiliar to us, that featured on the recent Seeds of Kindness album. It definitely fits the mood and theme of the album with a steadily evolving feel to it, and some lovely composition.

[SoK] bank pain – Peacekeeper | Neurofunk

NB: This was originally posted on Equestria Daily on 15 February 2017.

bank pain takes us on a gritty journey with a spiritual sequel to his older piece Empire Past, most noticeable through the use of similar percussive foley elements to those heard there. There’s some great bass design as well, and it creates a pretty dystopian feel.
