With a title and concept reminding of such OST tracks as Jeremy Soule’s Aurora and the appreciation of Nature they call forth for people like me, this new release from Ertrii sure got that Chillout nightly vibe going on. Especially in the second part, or the “break”, you can feel that awe from gazing at an aurora in the night sky, transcribed perfectly in musical format, delivering an emotional BGM of choice for such a contemplative moment of appreciation. Definitely a powerful piece from Ertrii who keeps delighting us with soothing themes and exploration of many different genres!
Chillout
Ponylution – Melancholy | Lo-fi Hip-Hop
A short yet inspired piece, Melancholy has that Chillout vibe that really fits well to the scene of the cover art. It also displays beautiful melodies on piano that would make the track a BGM of choice for a bar or a café!
Ponytronic – Times Like These (The Remixes) EP | Electronic
If I remember correctly, Ponytronic gained an affinity earlier this year for a certain couple of music ponies after reading a well-known fanfiction about them. Shortly afterwards, his song Times Like These was released – a smooth liquid dnb piece about the duo, perhaps one of his best songs to date. Now after a couple of months of an open contest, he’s proud to present the Times Like These Remixes EP!
Featuring a variety of genres, from more dnb reworks to a hip-hop remix and even a couple of really left-of-field genres, this EP has both some regular names to the brony music community and some people just breaking out into the scene. It’s also seemingly a chance for some artist to break out into new genres – I’ve never heard Metapony do Drum & Bass or UndreamedPanic do hip-hop before! Definitely give this EP a listen, you might just find a new artist or style that you’d be interested in.
Times Like These (The Remixes) EP is available to download for free on Ponytronic’s bandcamp.
PS: The music box rendition at the end is a super cute addition to the album :3
Inkwel – Tank | Chill
Inkwel continues writing songs for the Mane 6’s pets with this one about Tank. A chill atmosphere really aligns with Tank’s personality, while the strong bassline shows how much of a strong support he is for Rainbow Dash. This song is really fitting for it’s subject, keeping in line with the show. The cute synthlines complete the song and make it a very enjoyable experience.
Synthis – Dreamchaser Stargazer (ertrii Remix) | Chill House
Such all-time masterpieces as Synthis’ Dreamchaser Stargazer will always get more love over time, and ertrii’s delightful Chill House remix is definitely a much joyous occasion. Showcasing Synthis’ divine and emotional vocals, the remix lays out ertrii’s talent at chill music and makes for a wonderful re-awakening of the original.
FritzyBeat hugs ertrii – Maybe | Chill House
A new very welcomed entry in FritzyBeat’s “hugs” series, this one celebrates ertrii’s musician anniversary and conveys much depth, both from Moondancer’s character depth and Fritzy’s personal experience! Wonderfully blending ertrii’s Fluttershy-empowered divine instrumental from Maybe with heavenly and charismatic vocals from the ever-so-passionate FritzyBeat, this track is quite the meaningful experience as it shares social aspects that I’m sure some among us will be able to relate to. A powerful tribute brimming with the magic of Friendship, and a beautiful token of the love that makes us special as a community! Now I wish I was a musician so I could release a track in response to this. I would call it “Makenshi hugs everypony – I love you all”.
Nicolas Dominique – Everlasting Hope | Synthwave / Chill
Nicolas Dominique comes back with a really awesome Synthwave song! With some Psychedelic influences on the track, Nicolas delivers a trippy experience mostly in one of the synths, this trippy effects mixed with the minimal and retro arps & leads made an incredible mix that resulted in the Everlasting Hope. Also, it’s a Fallout: Equestria track! And what is better to make a track about that themes with a retro/nostalgic feeling?! Synthwave is a good choice! One of my favorite things from the track is how the synth chords are uplifting and emotional. Gosh, I really love Nicolas Dominique’s compositions and Fallout: Equestria tracks!
Modern Bard – Above The Stars | Chillout
Modern Bard brings us a beautiful chillout song with an awe inspiring atmosphere. The amazing pads and leads are accompanied by a nice relaxing background beat. It really makes you feel like you out walking among the stars. I’m loving the synth work here, great job, and an amazing song to relax to.
Daniel Ingram – Out on my Own (TCB Remix)| Chill Drum & Bass
TCB is back, this time with a remix of Out on my Own! He puts a blissful, chopped synthesis on Dan. Apple Bloom’s voice gets sliced a dozen ways and stitched back together a hundred more. The drums are bitcrushed in the most chilling, relaxing way. It’s a delight to listen to!
Inkwel – Winona | Chill / Future
Inkwel, another less know musician, released a track about Applejack’s doggy that is really sweet, amazing and chill song is really well produced and structured. The thing I loved in this track is the “xylophone” sound in the drops and the great pad work in the beginning of the song, the “ambient” sound that Inkwell gave on that pads got me really into this track! Check it out!
