I was very happy to see this in my subscriptions box the other day. One of the masters of chill music, ertrii, has a new song after a few months of silence and it’s as relaxing as you’d expect. Let’s start the day off on a chill note, sit back and take a listen to this.
Technickel Pony – Sweepin’ The House | House
Oh look. The sweep remix train is still going. How about that?
Jokes aside, this is pretty cool. I’m reminded a lot of the soundtracks to the old Spyro games for some reason. Perhaps not intentional in the slightest, but it gives me a reason to enjoy it more :L
Hay Tea – Resume | Trip Hop
Hay Tea’s hip-hop instrumental tracks are always a pleasure to listen to, so sit back and let this one pleasure your ear holes. I don’t have much else to say, it’s just nice and surprisingly relaxing.
Sonic Hooves – Étude | Piano Étude
Did I mention that this song is an étude? Here we have a short but sweet piano piece from Sonic Hooves. And it’s not just put together in a DAW either, this here’s a live performance; always considerably more emotive and, for me, more enjoyable too.
Flittzy – Take A Chance | Acoustic Pop
NB: This was originally posted on Equestria Daily on 5 October 2016.
Flittzy has been around for a bit, but this is their first appearance on the site under said alias, previously known as ChickenSteve. Here he’s released a pop rock style track where the centerpiece is absolutely his vocals, which are really the main thing here that make the song really fun to listen to – definitely worth a listen if you like upbeat pop-y rock stuff.
MetalPony – The Pony I Want To Be (Cover) | Metal
For some reason I always forget about the reprise to The Pony I Want To Be, but I’m very glad MetalPony remembered it and included it in this cover. Their vocals are so powerful too, they really bolster the emotion that shows through in the original, and the harmonies in the chorus are to die for!
Little Jester – Just For You | Lounge?
In a style that seems to be unique to said artist, Little Jester has a new song just for us…heh… This soft piano-driven piece is a nice and relaxing piece, with sort of jazz/lounge influences and a chord progression that reminds me of certain pop songs from the 70s and 80s. Don’t ask which ones, I’m just reminded vaguely of them :L
[P@D] AJ Young – Get Dirty | Dubstep
Marking his debut on the channel, AJ Young is next up in our collection of P@D preview exclusives on Cider Party. The buildups in this contain fantastic uplifting melodies and they then transition into the drop seemingly out of nowhere, yet it works brilliantly. Less than 48 hours to go until the P@D: Voyager album release stream begins now, we hope to see you there!
Violin Melody – Fashion Passion (HoriXZ0n Remix) | Complextro
To be able to make a decent remix of a song in a decent turnaround time is something I often envy in other artists. Here we have a great complextro remix of Violin Melody’s latest song from Event HoriXZ0n (happy now mate?), which actually goes easy on the dry/wet levels in the mixing (thank goodness, overdone wubs can sound dreadful).
A Symphony Of Two – Unite | Orchestral
NB: This was originally posted on Equestria Daily on 5 October 2016.
A Symphony Of Two return with another orchestral track. This one starts softly, and builds in both emotion and strength as it goes. This is evident both in the drum programming and the string use. A solemn break in the middle makes way for a more uplifting second half, in a track that flows very smoothly. Definitely worth checking out.
