Having been away from home for some time, 4EverfreeBrony is finally returning home, and to celebrate his return our very own Spectra has whisked up this catchy and polished house-y remix of one of his many classic tracks. It even has a bit of a dubstep breakdown for some added variety later on. A worthy welcome back package for sure.
Sprocket – Praise the Sun | Hip-Hop
Part of the ongoing “Princess Variations” project, a series of songs about Celestia and Luna, based around the same basic chords and melodies but performed in different styles and genres. This song seems to have a bit of everything; a hip-hop style beat, subtle rock keys and guitars, electronic vocoded vocals, and orchestral parts which come and go with the progression of the song. It’s such a diverse soundscape, I wasn’t expecting to hear something quite like this from Sprocket but he’s done an amazing job here!
Jyc Row – Twilight, the Winged Paladin | Orchestral
Jyc Row’s Celtic instrumental influences meet electronic drums in this interesting piece. Composed whilst, um, under influence, it’s certainly a tad more experimental than some of his other pieces, and that’s always nice to see.
Vylet Pony – Kingdom Finality | Electro
Another select piece from the music journey that is Super Pony World, this song shares sonic influence from both electro and indie dance / synthpop type tracks. If you haven’t already checked out Super Pony World, the amount of work put into it shows through the entire thing!
Voting for the Top Ten Pony Songs of July 2016 opens!
It’s that time of the month again, time to vote for your favourite songs from July! You can use our July archives (but bear in mind some songs from late July may have been published in August), or Gunz’s own personal playlist of songs released in July to make your choices!
Chris Wöhrer – We are the Night | Metal
Originally released as an instrumental 2 years ago as an instrumental, Chris Wöhrer has re-recorded and re-released his song We are the Night, now with his own vocals too! The Austrian metal musician has recently hit 700 subs, so congratulations from us, it’s well deserved!
Midli & Techniponi – REVIVE | Hardcore / Chiptune
Chiptune and hardcore are 2 genres that often seem to work together, and I suppose that’s why Midli and Techniponi went for that in this collab. Although sounding a tad lacking in the synth design, it merits posting for its melodies and reminiscence to older fandom pieces.
Horse Music Hotspot – July 2016
Another month gone by, and another episode of the hotspot aired last night. Intersekt is back as host this month with our top picks from July! You can listen to it on YouTube, SoundCloud, or your favourite podcast app.
July saw multiple album releases as well as some excellent singles from all sorts of artists. Sit down and let Intersekt take you through the last month in brony music!
To listen in live, tune in to Ponyville FM at 10PM Eastern on the last Sunday of each month!
Embeds and tracklist are both available after the break
Hay Tea – Audio Log | Drum & Bass
Another Fo:E inspired song, one of many we’ve seen since the series’ creation years ago, this new track from Hay Tea reminded me briefly of Princess Addictia’s Balefire, but perhaps that was just because of the theme and genre. Nonetheless, Hay Tea’s knack for making great liquid dnb has resulted in another great song from him!
GhostXb – Astrum Vs Krinita | Orchestral
We see songs inspired by other fandom works fairly often, but rarely do we have actual soundtracks to them! GhostXb (along with other musicians, I think including Direct Current) has been involved with the music for the upcoming fan-made game, Ambient.Prologue. This piece comes from the public beta version released last month.
