bank pain has got to be one of my top producers at the moment. Every time he releases something new, it’s obvious that it’s gonna be a favourite for a while. This track is no different with an excellent combination of pirate-themed melodies and some super clean dubstep sound design in the drops. There’s a real sense of theme through the whole track, which is great to see as it helps it to stand out as something pretty awesome.
Dubstep
Daniel Ingram – Friends Are Always There For You (syzygy. Remix) | Melodic Dubstep
syzygy. continues his streak of brilliant remixes with his take on one of the more recent show songs—this time opting for a lush, supersaw-laden style. Between squishy leads and gated chords, this remix provides an all-new instrumental frame while keeping the vocal arrangement intact, thus departing from the traditional two-drop-structure we’ve all come to expect. Instead, all the transitions play off of the vocals wonderfully, and you’re rewarded with a sweet orchestral outro if you keep listening until the end. Complete with interesting bits and pieces of sound design throughout the entire track and a fair attention to detail, syzygy’s remix definitely gives the more popular remixes of Friends Are Always There For You a run for their money.
The song is available as a free download from mediafire, so make sure to add it to your collection!
Crusader – Airship | Dubstep
Brace yourselves everypony!! The pony airship is lifting off! Onward to our destination! A corrupted empire we have to fight! Or something like that. No I’m not crazy, and the J-RPG fans will sure understand the kind of airship this song is referencing. Coming along an awesome animation that truly gives proper honor to the concept, the inspired Dubstep banger displays a mighty beat with subtle Trap flavors, incredible vocal chops, sick wubs, and a melodic progression that just leaves you speechless. A masterpiece from Crusader, and a personal favorite of mine!
TCB – Keys & Cuts EP | Electronic
Hearing a new song from TCB is fantastic enough, but having an entire EP is quite the treat. I didn’t really know what to expect going into it, but it really has a perfect variety of songs that all contain really unique vocal chops! I love the fact that there are vocal chops of characters you don’t hear vocal chops of often in here, really makes each song iconic! Read more about it after the break.
[P@D] Mantlegen – Rejoin | Mashup / Dubstep
This track from Amity sure made the live release party go crazy! Using past P@D songs and blasting from Vinyl’s mighty bass canon for the occasion, it creates drops of multiplied intensity, with Nowacking as Vinyl Scratch uplifting the mood some more. A masterpiece of a mashup!
Daniel Ingram – Hearts as Strong as Horses (ApostropheShy Remix) | Dubstep
Heartfelt remixes and tributes definitely galore in the pony music community recently!! Brace yourself for the emotion everypony, as ApostropheShy presents us a remix of their favorite show song, the already very emotional Hearts as Strong as Horses. This remix certainly brings even more feels as the CMC vocals get sublimated in masterful vocal chops along a very MLP-ish instrumental, that I could easily label “Pony Dubstep”. It has a certain sweet and cuddly vibe to it, full of love and triggering powerful emotion so easily, and definitely in line with ApostropheShy’s musical style that ravished us with all their works. A remix that is shining bright from the power of Passion and Friendship!
Glaze – Rainbow Factory (Einarx Remix) | Dubstep
It’s always so very welcome to get a remix that is very meaningful to the remixer for personal reasons, it’s like an additional layer of emotion and appreciation can be felt through that awareness! That, added to Einarx’s masterful take on the classic from Glaze (aka Wooden Toaster) in such a beloved unique Dubstep style, truly makes this piece stand out from the other remixes.
Virus Ponies – Different | Electronic
Quite a Different release from Virus Ponies, this new track brings a delightful dark mood much fitting to the cover art, and pioneers in roads less travelled to create a chill yet heavy and strong musical experience. Darkness isn’t to be feared…
Mantlegen – Reconstruction (Einarx Devastate EP Mashup) | Dubstep
Emotional heavy electronic mashup masterpiece ahead, everypony! Available on the Magnus Festa Vol.2 album, it samples tracks from Einarx‘s awesome Devastate EP, to create an original mashup of many wonders. Quite intense, it re-sublimates the pony vocal chops and even Chrysalis’ voice, as well as many instrumental parts from Einarx’s heavy bangers. The result is nothing short of breathtaking and doesn’t fail to trigger powerful emotions too as we witness the power of music, Passion and ponies once more.
Hay Tea – Shades Of Pink (PhonicB∞m Remix) | Dubstep
NB: This is an edited version of what was originally posted on Equestria Daily on 28 February 2017.
This piece is heavier, with Phonic throwing some pretty cool heavy drops together alongside great use of Pinkie Pie vocal samples throughout the piece that help to give it an interesting flavour.
