This song from EM120X sorta fits both into our midtempo and chillout categories; it’s at 110bpm and has very chilling vibe to it, but moreso in a dark way than a relaxing way. It’s pretty different from some of the other stuff on Beats Me 2, a but then the whole album is somewhat eclectic, so it fits right in!
Chillout
[LDB] Totalspark & DΛWN – Far Away | Chillout
Totalspark’s teamed up with his new friend DΛWN to bring you a fantastically made chillout song. Sparky is well known for his excellent chill music, and bringing DΛWN’s sound design into the works has made a piece of work greater than the sum of its parts here.
Lycan Dese Beats – Beats Me 2! | Album | Multi-Genre
Just over a year after the release of their first compilation album, Beats Me, Lycan Dese Beats has released a new album, consisting of entirely new and exclusive songs by the musicians they usually feature on their show. Similar to the Ponies at Dawn albums, this album offers songs from a grand variety of artists, however, this album has a greater non-electronic influence that you might expect, perhaps more all-rounded.
You can download this from Bandcamp for any given price, and we’ll be featuring songs from the album as they’re released with an [LDB] label in the post titles.
DJRedSky – Anything is Possible | Chillout
RedSky’s back doing his own lovely vocals again in this little love song about Derpy and Doctor Hooves. Simple drums combined with a smooth bass and some very pretty lead sounds make this song a midtempo chill masterpiece.
Direct Current – Mark | Chillout
It’s almost like hip-hop, but it’s so chill too. Direct Current’s building up another small repertoire of songs for an EP, including this downtempo electronic piece that samples vocals from We’ll Make Our Mark. A nice relaxing piece to end the day…
Technickel Pony – Beats and Pieces | Album | Multi-Genre
Firstly, please forgive the rushed nature of this writeup; there are reasons for that but I shan’t go into detail, this is a place for music. So if you’re in the mood for some funky, hip-hop beats, then grab a seat and let’s listen to Technickel Pony’s new album, aptly named Beats and Pieces. Full writeup after the break.
Totalspark – Reflections Part 2: Diffusion | Chillout
Acting as a sequel of sorts to his collab with Ataraxia, Totalspark has made a new song based on the legend of the mirror pool. Sparky’s composition skills and sound design are constantly improving, as you can hear from the pads and drum sequencing. This is one of my favourite songs by Totalspark yet, keep up the good work man!
Ponytronic – Above & Free | House
To continue today’s streak of “mellow as marshmellow” tracks, have a sweet song from our buddy Ponytronic made for a charity album. With such an intent and a relaxing cover art of ponies wearing yukata near a sakura tree, the instrumental certainly does not disappoint and provides almost 7 minutes of chill bliss, spiced up by electronic notes. Maybe Fluttershy is not drinking tea but sake instead? Also, it’s Ponytronic’s birthday today!
Sights Unseen – Shreds of Indecision | Alternate Electronic
Sung from the perspective of Pinkie’s friends, Sights Unseen presents a track that explores the breaking point of Pinkie Pie’s cheerful demeanor. Rocking the two-step beat with some ambient, supporting pads, the track is carried by its vocals and chip leads.
Zetzl – A song about beauty | Chillout
Have some chillout music from Ponytronic’s griffon-based Alias, Zetzl. This song has some lovely electronic drums, and a style the likes of which I rarely hear nowadays. So sit back, and take in this chillout piece to end the day.
