Sam Quak Brony builds upon his original remix of Light of Your Cutie Mark with this VIP. The atmosphere at the top of the song feels fresher and more ethereal, the chiptunes (and the mix in general) are sharpened, the first drop’s leads are more evocative, and the second’s dubstep growls are even more ferocious. Sam Quak doesn’t have too many subscribers at the moment, so don’t let this killer remix fly under your radar, bassheads!
Seventh Element – Nasty Dreams | Bassline
Nasty Dreams is a dazzling bassline track coming from Seventh Element. This aggressive bassline comes packed with a funky intro, followed by 808 rims, dreamlike vocal samples, and hi-hats weaving themselves in and out of the garage-like kick and snare. And of course, the meat, the mountainous and sweeping lines of the deep saw bass backed by nasty subs provides its frenzied element. Don’t miss out on the interlude, a breakdown of sampled and harmonically stacked synths, until the final bars of the last drop, reminding you of this song’s rave-like nature.
Black Electric and SDreamExplorerS – Marionette (Lianella Stilson Remix) | Metalstep
Metal and EDM aren’t two genres that crossover all that often, but it seems like those who make it happen know how to do it right. Lianella Stilson’s Remix of the SDreamExplorerS‘ cover of Black Electric‘s Marionette combines the heavy guitars and crushing vocals from Dream with synthetic drums and low basslines. This is Lianella’s first release since Fireworks from February of this year, and what a way to return this is.
Sia – Rainbow (Damien Nagy Cover) | Pop
French brony musician Damien Nagy has graced us with a lovely cover of Rainbow from the My Little Pony movie! The mellow recreated instrumental fits his voice wonderfully. Speaking of his voice, it has surprising power behind it and his tone provides a unique twist on the original’s vocal line!
John Doe – Stroll | Soundtrack
John Doe returns to the soundtrack fold with the 2nd track from the recently released EP, White Tail Park. Keeping in spirit with Legends Of Equestria’s themes, this song primarily uses string and wind instruments you’d find in a typical orchestra. The general feeling of the song is calm and steady, with the faint sound of birds chirping to further fuel the atmosphere of taking a walk outside. Halfway through sees the addition of a wooden-sounding xylophone, which gives a sense of adventure. A great addition to an already great game!
Luna Ticks – Ring the Bell | Punk Rock
Fan songs in response to certain episodes are always so lovely to see, and the awesome duo of Quicksilver and Francis Vace is back again as Luna Ticks for the most wonderful take on S09E16 A Trivial Pursuit! With meaningful vocals sung in such a lovely and heartfelt way, powerful guitar riffs reaching to the heavens, and just perfect lyrics accompanied by fitting scenes from the episode in the PMV-like visuals, Ring the Bell is an essential piece from Luna Ticks that is such a delightful gift and token of pony passion!
Vylet Pony – As Strong as Horses | Indie Pop
Vylet’s new album Queen of Misfits will be released December 25th, and this pre-release certainly shows the color of the Trixie-themed album! I love Trixie and to have an album dedicated to her is such a treat. Looks like the tracks will have a personal meaning to them from the musician this time around too, judging from the thought-provoking description! Time to bliss out to cute vocals and synths alike…
[PVCF] loophoof – Would Stay (John Kenza Remix) | Melodic House
How John Kenza and loophoof remixed each other for the occasion of Ponyville Ciderfest’s 2019 Official Convention Album and their B2B set at the con, is just SO lovely! The Magic of Friendship is doing wonders in the music too, with such bright vibes and fresh take on the Twilight vocal chops from the original. Dash’s contributions still make the track 20% cooler, too!
[PVCF] John Kenza – Love (feat. 4EverfreeBrony) (Loophoof Remix) | Future Bass
Undoubtedly one of the fastest-rising stars in recent pony music memory, loophoof returns from his incredible B2B set at Ponyville Ciderfest with John Kenza with a wonderful remix Kenza’s juggernaut, Love. Also featured on Ciderfest’s now-annual charity compilation, this remix retains the soul of the original but brings in dramatic, cathartic leads, well-placed trap percussion, and even whole sections of slightly darker, grittier experimentation. This one is a lot to digest for an EDM song, so get ready for a ride!
Francis Vace – To The Nines (Covering Koa) | Ska
We should now be used to Francis Vace making delightful ska covers of electronic music, but he still manages to catch us off guard.
If you thought you had finally freed yourself from the treacherously catchy To The Nines by Koa from Ponies at Dawn: Eternal, well Francis Vace is here to make sure it stays in your skull for a little more. The energetic song incorporates all you could expect, including sick guitar riffs, electric drums, spicy brass and of course Francis’ punk vocals which you might find yourself singing all day!
