Track 42 from Ponies at Dawn: Eternal is Epoch, the debut of South Korean DJ LOROU with a bass house track! They’ve left us with a great first impression, featuring a catchy vocal line which repeats at different parts throughout the song while being backed by heavy basslines and sprinkles of chiptune synths. It’s always great hearing new producers come into the fandom. LOROU also appears on track 20 alongside Mantlegen and Eninarx with Lights Out, so check that one out!
[P@D] Koa – To The Nines | Electro Pop
Koa has really made her presence felt this year with a couple powerful live performances in addition to hit tracks like this new release from Ponies at Dawn: Eternal. To The Nines captures everything about Rarity’s work perfectly with the well-polished, flashy pop composition mixed fabulously with a moving bass to an excellent, upbeat tempo. The incredible synth work brightens up the song exactly how Rarity makes her dresses stand out. The vocals are elegant and dangerously catchy – but you’ll want to be singing along to this song all day anyway!
4everfreebrony – Soldiers of The Night (covering SlyphStorm) | Rock
There is something so satisfying about this song; perhaps it’s the incredible lyrics and melody, or maybe it’s the music that fits so perfectly with those lyrics, or maybe it’s both! Everything in this song fits so well together, it’s catchy, and, it’s about Luna. What more would anyone need?
SmD House – Perfectly Imperfect | Chillout
SmD House’s newest full-fledged track is bringing such soothing vibes with that starry lead echoing through the soundscape, and the refreshing beats! A deep Ambient part is taking the soul by surprise at midway, and the whole track is definitely a gorgeous work of art to savor!
[PP] Dynamite Grizzly & Enny – If, By Midnight, I Do Not Have a Fourth Pony Keg… | Gabber
Featured on Cider Party, this Gabber treat from the lovely duo of Dynamite Grizzly and Enny is definitely bringing the right vibes considering the theme of the album! Playing with vocal samples from an earlier gen on MLP (notice the mention of Scorpan), the hard-hitting track is featuring an awesome guitar work by Enny as well as Dynamite’s high-speed Gabber greatness for a killer combo! Available now on GABBA-CA-DABRA FOR PONIES!
Daniel Ingram – The Magic of Friendship Grows (JoinedTheHerd Remix) | House
You just knew it was going to happen! A remix of the very emotional song from the MLP Series Finale from JoinedTheHerd, who went all-out to pay tribute to it with much emotion in his remix as well! You can just feel the intensity of the musician’s feelings as the powerful drops take you by surprise, and the heavenly pony vocal chops take you in their warm and cuddly embrace. Very bright and emotion-inducing, this remix is such a gorgeous follow-up to the song from the finale, and another token of dedication from JoinedTheHerd! (Who could probably be named IllDieWithTheHerd, too!) Featuring art by Dusthiel!
Remember Falling – Dead in the Water | Hybrid Orchestral
Remember Falling continues to impress. This track is another from her upcoming album Dawn Into Dusk, and it’s a beautiful one. The song is absolutely filled to the brim with harmonious vocals set to an orchestral and electronic backing, showcasing what sounds to be a duet between a male and a female with lyrical themes of water pulling Hollow (the album story’s main character) towards the next step of her journey. The ambience all throughout the song really does feel like a trip through a deep body of water, so it’s safe to say RF captured that feeling with flying colours. The album has a tentative release for late this year, so keep any eye out!
[PP] Spikey Wikey – Foreplay | Hardtek
From Pinkamena Party’s latest compilation album, GABBA-CA-DABRA FOR PONIES, Spikey Wikey’s last track made using Vegas is such a fun sendoff, with hot beats and a rich soundscape enacting the implied concept to perfection along that cover art commissionned for the occasion!
Nexgen – Uncultured (prod.Vinyl.rawr) | Hip-Hop
It’s been a while since Nexgen’s been seen in the fandom, hasn’t it? This is his first release in 5 years, with his last track coming out in August 2014. Was it worth the wait? Let’s get into that. Backed by a beat by Vinyl.rawr, Nexgen displays his ability to flow along impressively and confidently, showing that after all this time, he hasn’t lost a single iota of his talent. Of course, Vinyl’s beat deserves recognition too, consisting of a low choir and a guitar sample, bringing back feelings of early 2000s rap. Welcome back, you two! We can’t wait to see what you’ll come out with next.
Koron Korak – Vicious Circle Until Inner Emptiness (Toby Macarony remix) | Electronica
The creepiness doesn’t stop. Toby Macarony returns with a remix of Koron Korak‘s 18 minute long epic Vicious Circle Until Inner Emptiness. While it’s a quarter of the length of the original track, don’t let that dissuade you from listening, as it’s still a great remix in its own right. This remix showcases Toby’s unique bouncy style of electronica while keeping the creepiness of the original intact. The middle section features a truly haunting yet beautiful filtered trance pad sound that becomes more clear before eventually being joined by a catchy drum beat and eventually driving into a big crescendo full of all kinds of creepy synths and piano sounds. Seems Toby can do anything!
