The Experimental Bronies have once again teamed up with noise.horse to release their fourth entry in the Out of Limit project! There is plenty of interesting and unique tunes by several artists in this one ranging from more ambient and mysterious tracks to dark and filthy tracks as well as some good ol’ hardcore tracks. Viricide Filly’s track, Seconds Into Centuries, I Let My Hair Grow was one of my favourites and I go more in detail with it in the above post, however there are many other cool gems such as Smallish Season by Detra x Danger, which is a very intriguing and groovy twist on lo-fi and hip hop-esque music while Tripon’s Cascade is a very energetic and complex neurofunk style track with their signature style with some complex sampling and abstract design decisions that make for a refreshing listen. All in all if you’re tired of hearing the ‘same old, same old’ and looking for something odd and refreshing, noise.horse has just what you are looking for!
Drum & Bass
7th Stive – Princess Chrysalis | Drum & Bass
LONG LIVE THE BUG QUEEN! OH….HELL…YEAH! 7th Stive brings his brand of hardcore, in a tune that is the true essence of what is about her. It’s dark and intimidating. I get this feeling that as I listen to this. Chrysalis feels like she is marching on a tear, hell-bent and wants to snap. The melody has this psychopathic tone to it as it goes on. A very good tune for a beloved villain. Oh and please check TsaoShin for the amazing art.
Hay Tea & Age Of Vinyl – Downpour | Liquid Drum & Bass
Hay Tea and Age Of Vinyl are at it again! Downpour has an incredible outpouring of emotion right from the get go and the balance of energy and weight is astounding! The subtle vibrance and ambiances that support this track have such a deep and profound sound to them and the whole song with its meticulous melodies and whimsical harmonies flow like water. This power duo never disappoints and its always a journey seeing what comes next!
Daniel Ingram – Theme Song (PONE177 Remix) | Drum & Bass
We don’t get remixes of the official extended version of the Theme Song that often nowadays! PONE177 does us the honors of a brand new remix that gives a fresh DnB spin to our beloved pony anthem. The happy and emotional vocals are amazingly empowered by the bright and uplifting instrumental, and this remix is such a delight!
Ponytronic – New Dawn | Liquid Drum & Bass
Flowing seamlessly deeper and deeper into melodic and atmospheric bliss, New Dawn completes the fluffy artwork of Tia with some smooth vibes all around, even including bird sounds for an extra celestial and relaxing setting. Definitely a delightful new treat from Ponytronic!
Glaze & H8_Seed – Awoken (StrachAttack Bootleg) | Drumstep / Drum & Bass
(I am sure everyone knows this song in our fandom. However for those who are listening to this for the first time. Listen to WoodenToaster’s/Glaze 2012’s Classic Here!)
I’m sure this will please longtime bronies in our fandom! Oh and something Woodentoaster related in about 4 years! StrachAttack’s exciting remix of this golden age classic, to this dragon pony, is very good. I just love this kind of D&B with electronic piano tones mixed in. The song about a rainbow factory worker on the brink of insanity and wants out! The remix has its own identity. The beat flows so well between these haunting dance tones. That picks up in speeds, with the drops being this epic harmony with these amazing piano tones. I will admit this was my first time hearing this fandom classic. I approve!
Tw3Lv3 – I’m Sorry | Liquid Drum & Bass
Tw3Lv3 has been writing some nice liquid drum and bass lately, and this song shows the improvements that they have been making in their production. I love the bell sounds that are playing throughout the entire song and how they’re complimented by the very smooth drums sounds and luscious bassline. If you’re a fan of chill music, this is definitely one to check out!
Tw3Lv3 – Collapse | Liquid Drum & Bass
Tw3Lv3 has released a soothing tune based on a post apocalyptic world and I must say its quite a refreshing change from all of the really dark and gritty songs I often associate with the theme. An ethereal atmosphere is in the forefront with a somewhat somber mood; yet there is still a semblance of hope. This piece does an excellent job at conveying emotion and was a great listen overall!
[P@D] Tripon – Shy Beat | Halftime Drum & Bass
DON’T BELIEVE HER LIES
Tripon is at it again with a really heavy and dark track leading in with just an unsettling melody and a wide open space I was expecting something unnerving already, but the vocal sampling and editing is insane and the complex rhythms carve a way for pure chaos and insanity. What I especially like, is the transition halfway through. Everything fades out and you’re left with nothing but the void, from here we get a switch from halftime drums to a more common time rhythm which accelerates the urgency ever more and in combination with all the other intricacies it really is one of my favourite tracks from Tripon and I’m certain you will get a thrill out of it!
Now available as part of Ponies at Dawn Skyward!
[P@D] Age Of Vinyl – Heroes of The Sky | Drum & Bass
Age of Vinyl’s drum & bass creations always impress me, and this is arguably one of his best yet. Creating a gorgeous emotion that pulls you in almost immediately, the drums are smooth and the vocal chops are the absolutely height of what I love about this sort of sound. Combined with the gentle bass and uplifting arpeggiation, it’s well worth a listen and certainly one of my favourite songs of this style to come out of the fandom!
