If I’m gonna be honest, I wasn’t hugely enthused with this remix at first, but that’s because I was an idiot and had only listened to the first drop. HOWEVER, the second half really caught my attention and turned my opinion round. Stick with this remix until the end and it’ll definitely be worth your while.
Drum & Bass
Hay Tea – Solitude | Hip Hop / Drum & Bass
An amazing and heartfelt tribute to the events of the S6 finale and to Chrysalis, this new release from Hay Tea unleashes all the musical talent of the DnB master into a deep, sad yet beautiful piece that displays the power of feelings toward our beloved characters, and of Passion. Piano, strings, original progression, on-point beat and an unexplainable magical power all give to this piece the distinct feel and emotion it conveys.
Filly In The Box – Manehattan Nights | Neurofunk
Filly in the Box’s streak of awesome tunes continues, as a track themed around Manehattan’s nightlife appears. Enthralling and appealing just like a dark back alley in Manehattan leading to an underground live bar would, the track provides a dark yet blissful experience among the sick wubs, the amazing melodies, the intriguing genre, and the mysterious vibe surrounding it, drawing us to a beautiful unknown.
Trixent – Villains | Neuro Drum & Bass
NB: This was originally posted on Equestria Daily on 22 October 2016.
With one of the heaviest tracks I’ve heard in recent times, Trixent continues to catch up for lost time with some of the coolest neuro sound design I’ve heard. All of their recent releases have really impressed me, and this is no different. With immaculate percussion, dark chord stabs, brooding pads and of course the beautifully designed bass sounds this is definitely worth checking out!
Ponytronic – Autumn Elegance | Drum & Bass
As the seasons change, the theme of certain songs released by brony artists does too. Have a liquid dnb track from Ponytronic to suit the season of pumpkin spice lattes autumn.
Trixent – Dark of the Moon | Drum & Bass
My boi Trixent, aka Lenny HeimoBauss all over YouTube, has crafted another fine piece for our ears to experiment, full of originality. With an unusual pattern and as haunting as possible, the delightfully dark track impresses with an incredible progression and inventive sound design. There is no dark side of the moon really. Matter of fact it’s all dark.
Dynamite Grizzly – Time Trial | Drum & Bass
Drawing inspiration from gold games of old and their soundtracks, Dynamite Grizzly made a new track in response to the recent Top Bolt episode, filled with nostalgia and an incredible talent for recreating that musical mood in a brand new original track! OST is my life, so kudos for that!
Intersekt – The Path Least Traveled (feat. Totalspark) | Drum & Bass
Another lovely collaboration, the dynamic duo of Intersekt and Totalspark came up with a deep and intense Drum & Bass track of much reflective power. Chill yet energetic instrumental accompanies gorgeous vocals, and with such an intriguing title, the song definitely stands out beautifully.
[P@D] Lovestruck Brony – Such A Strange Thing / Sonic Rainboom – Something in the Cookies | Drum & Bass
Two very different dnb songs, both from the new Ponies At Dawn album! First up is Lovestruck Brony, known moreso for his electo house style. Well his song Such A Strange Thing doesn’t completely abandon said principle – alongside the huge basses and plucks, there are two cleverly incorporated tempo changes in this where it goes from dnb to electro and back to dnb again. It’s really unique, take a listen for yourself!
And next up, something from Sonic Rainboom with a more darkstep sound. Making good use of breakbeat samples, this song captures the feel of the second half of the episode 28 Pranks Later. A perfect style for zombie ponies!
Totalspark – Bound | Drum & Bass
Drum & Bass will always have a special spot in my heart, and Totalspark’s take on it is as astounding as the beat hits. As fast as a storm yet as beautiful as a colorful landscape like the one in the cover art, it is then giving way to an powerful progression unleashing all the emotion of Drum & Bass. It’s like we are getting Spellbound!
