Flutter Rex returns to the scene for the first time in a while with a track rooted in industrial design, though it feels like it has influences from all over the place, with a pretty glitchy procession of heavy and powerful sounds. If strong, aggressive industrial music is something you’re keen on, this is definitely something you’ll want to check out!

Radiarc – Another Day | Industrial Orchestral

NB: This was originally posted on Equestria Daily on 28 December 2016.

Radiarc is back with a new track, but this one is pretty different from his recent releases! With a much more experimental, and arguably mechanical vibe to it, the combination of glitchy sounds and eerie soundscapes and vocals help to make this a really captivating piece. Make sure to check it out below for something pretty awesome!

[HMC] Filly in the Box – Windigo | Dubstep

FitB’s unique style of dubstep always hits a good note with me. It kinda sound like a combination of sounds from both modern dubstep and trap, and the more minimalistic variety that I remember hearing around the late 00s, just as it was entering the mainstream. You can get this as part of HMC’s latest Winter-themed album too!

Wootmaster – Horse Christmas | Hip-Hop

The video was posted after we did our Hearth’s Warming Compilation, that’s why it wasn’t on there. Didn’t expect to see a hip-hop beat made from a toy store commercial, but hey, it works! Check out this (belated) special holiday song from Woot, it got good beats.

[PP] インクキツネ – Twilight Causes Eternal Winter | Gabber

Taken from the recent Pinkamena Party CH32RISTMAS album, this gabber track from Inkling Bear harks back to season 1, and follow our icy friend’s signature hardcore style with insane synths riffs. Enjoy gabber as part of a balanced anarchic breakfast.

BL1NKY – Dystopia | Dubstep

NB: This was originally posted on Equestria Daily on 28 December 2016.

BL1NKY has been around the music scene for a while, previously going under the alias Core-Ridor and appearing on a couple of the Balloon Party albums and more recently having appeared on a couple of the Ponies at Dawn ones. He’s been a bit silent recently, but he’s back with a chilled out neuro-style dubstep track. The intro and break are pretty relaxed, whilst the drops are relatively mellow too and focus more on some cool neuro design than the heavy wubs you might expect. Make sure to check it out below for a pretty neat track!

Friendship Symphonies – A War Yet To Come | Orchestral

NB: This was originally posted on Equestria Daily on 22 December 2016.

After a few collaborations between Cainbow Rrash and one half of A Symphony of Two, here now comes a completely different style of orchestral, produced by Cainbow alongside the full double of ASoT. Compared to their relatively light tracks, this piece is heavy, strong, and powerful as it steadily grows more epic over time. Inspired by the feel given off by a lot of Hans Zimmer’s music, the epic nature absolutely brings this across. The foreboding atmosphere perfectly represents the impending march of the Changelings, and this is certainly one of my favourite collaborations these guys have done so far.

Quicksilver – Cake Drunk | Punk Rock

NB: This was originally posted on Equestria Daily on 27 December 2016.

Quicksilver is back with another new fun heavy punk rock track that focuses on another silly topic, having already explored others such as socks and celestia’s presence in his washing machine earlier this year. This track focuses on Celestia’s totally-not-an-addiction to… dessert? It’s a pretty fun thing to sing about and it definitely comes across that Quicksilver had some fun with this.

WoodLore – My Sweet Peace (Jyc Row Remix) | Orchestral

NB: This was originally posted on Equestria Daily on 23 December 2016.

My Sweet Peace is one of WoodLore’s most celebrated tracks, and here Jyc Row has taken it and turned it into an orchestral epic. 6 minutes in length, it builds through the vocals and some well placed orchestral elements, giving way to some more powerful vocal sounds and strings, and that trademark celtic feel of Jyc’s tracks. A really awesome reinterpretation, it’s definitely worth giving a listen!
