[P@D] Lovestruck Brony – Such A Strange Thing / Sonic Rainboom – Something in the Cookies | Drum & Bass

Two very different dnb songs, both from the new Ponies At Dawn album! First up is Lovestruck Brony, known moreso for his electo house style. Well his song Such A Strange Thing doesn’t completely abandon said principle – alongside the huge basses and plucks, there are two cleverly incorporated tempo changes in this where it goes from dnb to electro and back to dnb again. It’s really unique, take a listen for yourself!

And next up, something from Sonic Rainboom with a more darkstep sound. Making good use of breakbeat samples, this song captures the feel of the second half of the episode 28 Pranks Later. A perfect style for zombie ponies!

MetalPony – Friendship Was Tragic | Pop-Punk

Time for some heavier pop-punk about Starlight Glimmer from MetalPony, even if it’s only a little piece it’s still pretty cool. Power chords and fast paced drums aplenty, with a few subtle tempo changes for a bit of variation.

[P@D] Kawaii Dash – V!bes | Future Tropical House

NB: This was originally posted on Equestria Daily on 13 October 2016.

Xavi/Kawaii Dash is all about the modern genres in EDM, future, tropical, that kind of thing. So, why not combine some of them? That’s what they’ve done here with a fundamentally tropical house-feeling tune that also has some really cool future-influenced wobbles that help to add some extra depth. The main melody is really good, especially the little trills that happen every now and then. Definitely worth a listen if you’re looking for some chilled out ‘V!bes’.

[P@D] Thrasher – Orbit | Metalcore

Freaking YES! I love this kind of stuff. Metalcore with an electronic influence seems to be Thrasher’s speciality and they’ve come back to participate in this Ponies At Dawn album too. Seems it’s also part of an upcoming EP, something I’m very much looking forward to. In the meantime, DJENT!

Totalspark – Bound | Drum & Bass

Drum & Bass will always have a special spot in my heart, and Totalspark’s take on it is as astounding as the beat hits. As fast as a storm yet as beautiful as a colorful landscape like the one in the cover art, it is then giving way to an powerful progression unleashing all the emotion of Drum & Bass. It’s like we are getting Spellbound!

Sights Unseen – Indelible (feat. Cadie) | Chillout

Sights Unseen’s new song and collaboration with Cadie feels just like the musical embodiment of beauty, as we marvel at a mellow instrumental full of tender feelings with its distant melodies and soft drums, and linger in bliss listening to Cadie’s utterly wonderful vocals that pierce through the soul, wrapped in that gentle purple light. A powerful tribute to Twilight and most definitely a collaboration of many wonders!

CrystalData – Perfect Morning | Orchestral

In continuation from the last post, after a New Dawn such as that one you could expect to have a Perfect Morning, and that’s precisely what CrystalData is giving us here with this wonderful Orchestral track and scene that equally feel much like Equestria. If you just imagine being there and partake in the lovely moment while listening to such music… you’ll find the emotions can flow really fast. CrystalData just came back after a little hiatus, too, so be sure to show your support!

Nicolas Dominique – New Dawn | Trance

With a new day of sharing this community’s music, comes a New Dawn. Nicolas Dominique blesses us with a new release that embodies the very distinct emotional power of Trance music. Dedicated to our favorite sun princess and from the upcoming trance album “Storm”, this New Dawn and its uplifting and powerful vibes gives a wonderful sunrise to the soul!

Jastrian & FritzyBeat – Ghostie (MrMehster Remix) | Progressive House

NB: This was originally posted on Equestria Daily on 11 October 2016.

Jastrian and Fritzy’s awesome new track Ghostie feels like it only came out a few days ago, but there’s already a remix of it out! MrMehster’s turned the pop-y original track and turned it into a pretty upbeat prog house track. The main synth in the drop is pretty cool, and the transformation from mellow to a more decidedly happy feel still works here – definitely worth a listen!
