Little bit of melodic dubstep stuff to finish off the day. D3LTA’s managed to make use of softer sounds in this one, along with some vocal splicing to fill in the gaps and create additional melodies.

The Dark Side – Magic | Melodic Dubstep
We didn’t get the chance to see many Melodic Dubstep songs from the community since the Omnipony days, but The Dark Side is here to delight us with a new release that oozes the very magic of that genre that I particularly affectionate. The sensitivity, the melodies, the powerful synths that seem to take us away to a new realm… this song Magic has got it all.
Totalspark – Solitude | Chillstep
Perhaps reflecting the bliss of solitude while we amble in a snowy landscape and marvel at the wonders of Nature, this new track from Totalspark brings a peaceful atmosphere while consistently leading our musical sensitivity to new experiences, just like our stroll in the tundra would fill our soul with awe and wonder. Embrace Solitude, and let the emotions flow inside you…
Various Artists – Remix War IX!
It may not be much to offer this time round (because reasons), but the 9th edition of the My Little Remix forum’s Remix Wars has finished up. Albeit with few contributions this time round, for various reasons, here’s what the forum frequenters have to offer!
Budzy – Surprise Surprise (GROskAr Remix) | Dubstep
A solid production, as I’ve come to pretty much always expect, from GROskAr, as he remixes Budzy’s Lycan Dese Beats album feature. It doesn’t tend to deviate much from the pattern of the original, so while it’s perhaps not my favourite from him, it’s still worth checking out.
Note: Since the original video got deleted, you may find its original audio backed up as a MP3 file here.
Budzy – Summer Smiles EP | Electronic
A long time coming, after over a year of hanging around the brony music scene and making songs, Budzy’s finally released his debut EP, Summer Smiles. In this EP you can be sure to find plenty of custom sounds that he’s been building over the past several months, self-taught n everything. Continue reading for the full writeup.
NeoN – Ar3 You R3ady | Dubstep
While I can’t say I’m a huge fan of the r3p14cing l3773r5 wi7h num83r5 thing, this song from Neon has some pretty cool bass sounds. NeoN also made this to celebrate their own birthday, so happy belated birthday from us at HMH!
Shika No Mori Sound – Beauty In The Trees | Album | Multi-Genre
It’s time for a new collaborative album from the community, everypony!! And this one certainly delights and holds many surprises! Living up to its lovely title, the album from collaborative effort Shika No Mori Sound (“Forest of Deer”) delivers tracks of pure beauty and power, featuring musicians from all around the community, including familiar names but also some you might not have heard of. What they all have in common is that they did amazing to bring this concept justice and produce a mighty album as beautiful as a forest!
Starting off with the very headbangable Venality from R3ctifier centered around the events of Friendship Games, the first half of the album hits as hard and powerfully as witnessing the many wonders of Nature would feel, with very enthralling tracks such as Aven‘s Purpose (#4), the dark and heavy Worlds from Flak (#14), the insane Dustep madness of IKX in Two Faced (#12), even bringing all the Hardcore with track #7. And this goes not without mentioning the cute yet powerful mellow interlude of Kawaii Dash‘s Bubble Tea (#6) that surprises with a mighty sound design and Future mood!
The second half of the album further embodies the gentle, invigorating and emotional beauty that Nature can grant to those who open their soul to it, with chill-ish songs that matches the concept in the most wonderful ways. Starting with Fallen Empire from emotional Chillout master Totalspark (#15), we then get entranced by the mighty groove and originality from Waifu Avenue‘s 16 Under 20 (#17), dive into the amazing depths of Ax:l‘s Bröadcast (#18), wander through DisCHORD‘s Wilderness with both awe and energy (#19), inger in bliss as the Drum & Bass of Progressive Element‘s Crystal Fragments stimulate our ears and soul (#20), get hit so hard with the amazing soundscapes of Chillout masterpiece Dreamscapes from Totalspark (#21, his second contribution to the album and my personal favorite from the album), to end with the much welcome piece from Vinyl Darkscratch Snipershy’s Ballad (#22) and Shü77erfly‘s melodic Atmosphere that warms the heart and soul (#23).
You can get Beauty In The Trees on its Bandcamp page. And don’t forget to give mad props to all those amazing artists!! You can get their info in the “read more” section of the Soundcloud page.
To all the album’s artists reading this : You guys are amazing, thank you for blessing us with your music and for this masterpiece of an album!! Much love!
5OUND (ANU) – Frozen Dreams | Chillstep
Be ready for a blissful experience of utter beauty as 5OUND’s latest track unfolds. Despite the presence of Fluttershy’s cutie mark in the visuals, you might still get a lovely surprise at some point during the track, as Fluttersamples are used in such a wonderful way, along a 9-minutes instrumental of much originality. Give a well-deserved sub to 5OUND who will soon change their name to ANU, I’m going through the whole channel right now and the music all around is quite enthralling and well composed!
Filly in the Box -Don’t Go Alone | Dubstep
Attention: mild spoilers, nothing obvious though.
Back once again with impeccable sound design, Filly in the box has a new track inspired by the latest episode of MLP. The drum samples and programming (and even some of the melodies) reminds me a lot of the early mainstream dubstep that came about at the end of the 00s, whilst the bass sounds used sound very much modern – an interesting juxtaposition of sounds that works incredibly well!
