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.
Elias Frost – Welcome to Pegasopolis | Orchestral
NB: This was originally posted on Equestria Daily on 5 December 2016
A bit of a change from the metal and dark orchestral pieces he normally puts out, Elias shows his lighter side here with a strong uplifting orchestral piece meant to act as a sort of anthem for the pegasus race. I do quite like Elias’ orchestral works and this one is no different with a strong mix of instrumentals from trumpet-like sounds to crisp strings and some marching-style percussive elements as well. Definitely worth a listen if you want to celebrate the power of the pegasus!
GROskAr – Banned Magics | Dubstep
NB: This was originally posted on Equestria Daily on 4 December 2016
GROskAr is one of the most consistent designers of heavy stuff in the fandom, so it’s cool to see some more new music from him! This one cuts to the chase pretty quickly, with a 30 second build up giving way to a heavy drop full of harsh bass sounds. The break in the middle manages to hold up some tension and make sure you don’t relax before some vocal chops help differentiate the second drop from the first really well. Definitely worth checking out if you want some heavy dubstep!
Jyc Row – To Cloudsdale! | Orchestral
NB: This was originally posted on Equestria Daily on 5 December 2016.
Jyc Row is back again with a new orchestral track, and this is certainly one of his more uplifting ones! With a strong happy vibe to it, pushed mostly by the bright strings throughout the track, it also features his trademark strong percussive influence and some celtic flavour towards the end that still manages to fit in quite well. Drawing inspiration from the artwork above, it’s easy to hear the influence shine through as Jyc takes us on a trip to cloudsdale.
Violin Melody – Wonderland | Trance
December = winter ∴ wonderland. Or at least I imagine that’s the logic behind the name of this trancey piece from Violin Melody. Check this out if you’re into 140bpm stuff with plenty of light, melodic elements.
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.
Wubcake & The Cosine Pitchshifterz – Violent Siren | Hardstyle
Bit of explicit language in the second half, viewer discretion is advised or something…
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.
