FilledSilhoutte – B.Y.B.B | Future Funk

 

 

I believe Funk as a genre is not used nearly enough in our fandom after hearing this track by FilledSilhoutte. Vignette Valencia from EQG’s Rollercoaster of Friendship was a nasty character. She pretty much was Rarity without Rarity’s good quality. When I hear this funky melody it does scream the arrogance and ego of her character. Funk as the music itself can be used to emote or highlight a theme. The music itself was used to give Vignette a sense of style and the right amount of her annoying self-centered ego. Funk as a genre has always been about style, class, and smoothness. This track uses that to a fine key. Well done by FilledSilhoutte who must have done his homework about this genre. As always, please judge for yourself, as this Qilin will tell you.

P.S: This guy only has 142 subs on his channel. That is a crime. Please show some love to him.

John Doe – Crystals | Soundtrack

Seasoned composer John Doe has crafted another beautiful tune for a new update of the very popular Pony Town game! This one is a bit more subdued and focuses on the crystal caves in the new update. Naturally, John Doe uses percussive mining sounds and dripping water noises (among other things) to great effect, creating an engrossing atmosphere and evoking a sense of wonder in the listener. A very calming tune for a cozy night in or one of adventure!

[ASOS] GrazySmash & Tw3Lv3 – Dungeon | Psytrance / Dubstep

My first taste of what ASOS brings to the table is this collab by GrazySmash & Tw3Lv3! And Oh my, It’s themed after Daring Do. Trust me when I say it’s a banger that fits great. Picture Daring Do walking into the location of her next treasure. Sizing up her task. The opening melody builds up energy as she gets a feel for the place, Then BOOM! This song kicks in like a rapid-fire machine gun!. She shoots off into searching for her goal, dodging and weaving through all of the dangers within. The way the beats go all over the place. It gives you an idea of what she is in for. It lets you imagine her traversing through these perils with style. The use of exotic sounds is a nice touch as well. The mixing is just plain sick and adventurous. Someone honesty should do an SFM animation to this track of Daring Do making it look easy to this exciting track. So much fun! As always. This Qilin asks you to judge for yourself.

Rarity Advocate – Rarity | Jazz

A unique piece, this one. This song almost seems to transcend genre definitions with all the elements in this song. It combines elements of music from many generations, such as implementing electronic bass and synth lines with jazzy drums and a very prominent harpsichord throughout. As the song goes on, it goes through various phases and moods, ranging from a cheery section which eventually slows down into a sudden dramatic riff before starting right back up again. All the while, the song remains elegant, just like our very own Rarity. Coupled with a PMV, it makes for a perfect tribute to Equestria’s greatest fashionista!

Tw3Lv3 – Canterlot Suburb | Lo-fi

Short but sweet, Tw3Lv3 returns to give us a chilled out lofi beat. A minimal song – only containing a bassline, a drum track and a filtered guitar sample – it serves as a good background track, perfect for walking down a calm, empty street in the morning. Good luck getting this funky track out of your head!

[NSN] AJ Young – Old School | Riddim / Dubstep

Reminisce on old memories enough recently? If you said no, perfect! Have I got the ditty for you! Fresh off the new Never Say Neigh compilation album, AJ Young introduces a song including the quintessential sampling of old fandom standards topped with modern dubstep trends. If you said yes, not to worry because nostalgia will always purge your veins, no matter the walk of life you are in. So there’s no reason not to yield to the turbulent hard-hitter that is AJ Young’s Old School!

Night Blaze – Concordia Draconis | Soundtrack

A song about dragons needs to be epic, right? Well, this track delivers in spades. It starts off with a calming piano riff with bells quietly going off in the background, but quickly builds up into an epic orchestral piece with heavy drums and driving string instruments, supplemented with a distorted guitar lead right at the climax. Night Blaze says this is the opening track to his upcoming album. If this is how it starts, then we can only expect great things from the rest of the album!

Tw3Lv3 – Starlight’s Dream (feat. ShobieShy) | Hip-Hop

The real Glim Shady returns with some bars about Starlight Glimmer! Accompanied with a chilled out beat from Tw3Lv3, he goes on to tell a story about Starlight’s growth and development throughout the show in two parts: her despair and guilt behind what she had done in the past, only to realise it was all a dream and that Equestria has accepted her into their arms. All this, bridged with a sample between Luna and Glimglam, makes for a relaxed yet emotional listening session. Hats off to this duo!

Rusty Thorsell – Hazy Hallow | Indie Pop

Rusty’s unique musical mind has spawned another great song! The track contains a unique blend of EDM with string instruments joined with his wordless, yet melodious vocals, creating a psychedelic feeling all throughout. All this, coupled with the flashy and distorted light show of his horse, brings forth a unique experience for the eyes and ears; don’t miss out on this one, everycreature!

[ASOS] Zythiria – Manehattan Night Club | Electro House / Chillout

Get up and get ready to jam out to Zythiria‘s new hit, Manehattan Night Club. Audibly pleasing synths, give a traditional Electro house feeling. All the while having a welcome and intuitive offset of a bass guitar. This song is sure to lighten any mood and get the day (or night) rolling. So gear up, mash down on that throttle, and give it a listen!
This song is a part of the compilation album A State of Sugar: Waffle. Make sure to stop by and check out some more of the awesome music!
