[P@D] Crusader & Mythos – Blast ‘Em / NeoN & Sonic Tap – Benevolence | Dubstep

Whoa hey double post time! Got a couple of late-night dubstep collab tracks from Amity for you. First up is this trapstep-like tune from Crusader (no, not that one) and Mythos; the most significant thing about this one being the switch up between half- and full-time drum patterns with ease. Also, I adore that siren-like sound at 1:07.

And second up, a more traditional dubstep track from NeoN and Sonic Tap, whose IRL friendship makes their collaboration a perfect fit for this album’s theme! Supersaws and growls aplenty, you could certainly consider this more melodic piece than the previous song.

GhostXb – Adagio’s Adagio (Ft. Maria Grigoryeva) | Orchestral

An adagio for Adagio. Take a wild guess what this is about and how the rest of the series will be titled ;P I would go into more detail on the specifics of this song’s theme, but Ghost wrote a small essay in the description, so you should take a look at that and let him explain the song better than I can. But what I can say is that is that it features live violin from professional violinist Maria Grigoryeva; good on Ghost for going the extra mile for the sake of a lead instrument.

Vylet & Sylver – i just want you to notice me | Future

I think this is close enough to call “future”, with low-fi hip-hop influences and some additional audio aesthetic thrown in for good measure. But anyway, about the track itself – this songs marks the release of another character-specific EP from Vylet, simply titled lotus, after the character on whom it focuses, and again with the theme of the album deeply rooted in romance.

You can get the EP for just $2.99 on Bandcamp, and I expect Vylet will upload the remaining songs to YouTube over the coming weeks..

[P@D] Pony Music & ThatMusicBrony – Equestrian Territory (lia;quo Remix) | Complextro

lia;quo’s become a regular on recent P@D albums, and of course made an appearance on this installment with her usual complextro sound in this remix of Equestrian Territory, originally by Pony Music and ThatMusicBrony. And interestingly enough, it features live performances on various instruments including Taiko Drums, violin, and glockenspiels!

[P@D] Francis Vace – Walls (covering Flak & NewPatrol) | Rock

This totally not confusingly-titled song by Francis Vace is…well, as it says in the thumbnail, a cover of NewPatrol’s remix of Flak’s song Walls. So kinda hitting 2 birds with one stone in terms of the specifications of the latest Ponies At Dawn album. Not only that, but it combines Vace’s 3 main styles of punk, ska and, more recently, metal. Really hitting all those birds, poor things…

[P@D] PegasYs – Wasteland (DJT Remix) | Neurofunk

NB: This was originally posted on Equicity on 13 January 2017.

As a long time producer in the fandom, DJT has made a name for himself: a name that carries the sweet connotation of exceptional melodies, vocal chops and cute vibes. Forget all this, as this tune is a wholly different kind of beast.

Inspired by the intricate neurobass architecture of the original track, DJT speeds up the experience to drum & bass tempo and provides a steady pluck bassline to bring in hard jump-up vibes, all this while retaining PegasYs’ artful rhodes chords. Plentiful use of silences, reverb and foley creates an immersive atmosphere that beautifully captures the eerie allure of an apocalyptic landscape.

Make sure not to miss out and grab a download on the Ponies at Dawn bandcamp page!

4everfreebrony & Luna Jax – Back To You | Soft Rock

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

Luna Jax and 4everfreebrony teaming up is a pretty awesome combination! With Jax’s strong vocals and a really nice instrumental it starts up brilliantly. 4everfreebrony’s vocals come in later on, and work just as well. A pretty soft and relaxing track, it wonderfully tells the story of Celestia and Luna’s reunion after Luna’s banishment to the moon ended.

Crusader! ft. Wubcake – Legend of Everfree (covering Daniel Ingram) | Acoustic Rock

Cute ukulele-driven rock song? You betcha; it’s the usual from Crusader!, teaming up with Wubcake again to turn this into a duet. It also features what seems to be Cru’s entire collection of musical instruments, from ukulele to electric guitar to melodica (not harmonica!), with solid mixing so you can hear every single one crystal clear.

[P@D] DJT & iblank2apples – Sweeter Than This (ft. Wootmaster) | Drum & Bass

Well here we go, time to start posting the P@D: Amity tracks! Feels like it’s been a while since I heard this style of dnb, which reminds me of some stuff by the likes of Pendulum and Muzzy, and who better to present it to us than DJT and iblank2apples? And as an added bonus, Woot drops some sweet bars along to the track too. A phenomenal opening track to Amity.

TheMusicReborn ft. Foxy Lee – Button’s Mom (covering P1K) | Jazz

I…wasn’t quite expecting this to pop up on my radar! TheMusicReborn decided to take P1K’s classic in a very different style from both the original and really anything else we see on a regular basis. It may or may not be your kind of thing, but definitely worth giving a shot for a fun little tongue-in-cheek cover.
