Toothpaste is great at finding creative ways to make a song fun. Mares of Mastery in Their Craft is a chilled out track dedicated to the masters of relaxation – the spa ponies! Toothpaste uses a very Japanese style of instrumentation and composition combined with a slow drum beat to create a calm track that never drags. Unique and soothing, Toothpaste has added another standout track to their great repertoire!
Yanamosuda – G4G4 (feat. Zephysonas ) | Jazz
No better tag team could there be for this song! Yanamosuda’s expert composition mixed with Zephysonas’ saxophonic brilliance create a beautifully smooth jazz piece! The bass in G4 is incredible with the speed and fluidity of the moving low tones. The saxophone carries the melody with fantastic syncopation, runs, and all-around high-level performance! The drums and piano accentuate the piece well, and make for an incredibly crisp and finely-tuned jazz song!
PinkiePieSwear – Flutter Wonder (UnderpΩny Remix) (Mal Universe Redux) |Uplifting Trance
It’s nice to see such an old face again in the fandom! UnderpΩny has released a redux of PinkiePieSwear’s classic “Flutter Wonder” with those nostalgic soothing pads and melodies of the original with a grooving, rolling progression. It’s a very welcome and long awaited send off, and its really nice seeing such a relaxing song remixed in a way to give it a newfound energy while staying true to the original form. An excellent uplifting vibe that hearkens back to the olden days, this one is a treasure!
N. Hollow – Frost Heart | Hip-Hop
Part of N. Hollow‘s upcoming EP Violent Skies, out July 17th, Frost Heart was released on the Straight From The Heart movement. It was performed on his set at Burning Mare II (the VOD is still up on Burning Mare‘s twitch channel at the moment of writing and will be uploaded by N. Hollow sometime in the future). The beat features ice level-type synths and overall serves as a great canvas for the vocals. N. Hollow’s flow is still impeccable and the auto-tune works nicely with the lyrics revolving around an ill-fated love.
MrMehster & Tw3Lv3 – Work In Progress (LaunchSix Remix) | Dubstep
Part of the remix album (download link here, streaming link here) of MrMehster and Tw3Lv3‘s track Work In Progress from Equinity 02: Catalyst, LaunchSix provided his take on the banger that was the original. LaunchSix took the track he had been assigned to remix and translated directly it into his distinct style. The catchy lead melody from Tw3Lv3 is still here, but new voice lines of his own were added. This flip is also the opportunity for LaunchSix to keep showing off his remarkable sound design and his giant slap to the face of a snare. Keep your eyes peeled for his three tracks on the upcoming Equinity 03: Breach compilation album, dropping soon.
GeekBrony – Era of Grogar | Trance
Using voice-clips from the season 9 villains, this Grogar themed track brings you some epic electronic trance music, with consistent energy and quickness throughout the whole thing! Not to mention that the Grogar theme definitely fits with the track’s music, with the voice-clips playing into that whole Grogar feel.
MrMehster & Tw3Lv3 – Work In Progress (Power Note Remix) | Breaks/Electro House
Power Note has joined the fun with their remix of Work In Progress! The fun and catchy melody gets a new twist with break beats and a nice array of 80s style sound design. It brings a different emotion to the raw energy of the original and is a nice addition to the the plethora of remixes you can find over at the official remix compilation album!
Sia – Rainbow (RedSpark Remix) | Hybrid Orchestral
Building upon the strengths of the original, RedSpark brings his own style, blending house and orchestral as always, with influences from pop and reggaeton in this summer hit-like remix of Sia’s Rainbow. Two main sections are tied with beautiful bowed strings and at times, an elegant piano plays the catchy melodies of the vocals. The work with the tresillo rhythm and its variations throughout the song is also a nice touch.
RedSpark – Revival | Orchestral
Where to begin? I guess I’ll start with how good this music is (believe me, it’s really good!): It’s powerful, it’s energetic, and, it has this vibe of what I can only describe as “grandeur.” This track also has hints of nordic-sounding music near the beginning and end, which definitely helps contribute to the aforementioned vibe. Overall, this is a beautiful piece of orchestral!
John Kenza – Take to the Sky (feat. Koa) (TCB Remix) | Happy Hardcore / Dubstep
TCB keeps pouring bangers, here with a flip of John Kenza‘s track from Ponies at Dawn – Ignite featuring Koa. While it is often overlooked, TCB made sure the mix would be DJ friendly but enjoyable to listen to as a standalone nonetheless. As always, his sound design is full of colors, especially in the two dubstep drops. The snappier snare or clap and punchier kick in the happy hardcore section also help bridge the gap between the two genres.
