Now this is cool! Agents of Discord took a bangin track by NeoN and Xavi and flipped it on its head giving us a shuffled and underground take on the original. The flow and energy in this is incredibly smooth, yet crisp and evolves and progresses very well over its decisively short length. Another thing to note, I absolutely adore remixes that take the time to reconstruct and expand on the original song while using very few, if any stems from the original itself, lots of love and time were poured into this and it shows!
Electro
Daniel Ingram – A Kirin Tale (Loophoof Remix) | Electro House
Loophoof‘s electro house tracks are quickly becoming staple songs in the fandom scene, and their remix of A Kirin Tale by Daniel Ingram is sure to live up to the hype. With full chords and expert use of the original vocals through means of vocal chops, the remix establishes a familiar upbeat vibe that we’ve all come to know Loophoof for. Between the energy of the drops comes a nice melodic section that brings the audience back to earth for just a moment before being sent back up again.
GrazySmash – Lost Night | Electro House
A timeless and punchy style of electro house is brought to us in the latest song, Lost Night, by GrazySmash. This club friendly track employs ear-perking scales and quite notable usage of syncopation in the arrangements. Befitting for Luna, Lost Night is bouncy yet dramatic, accompanied by an illustration by viwrastupr.
Koa – Take Off (Confidence) (feat. General Mumble) | Electro Pop
Koa and Mumble bring us a catchy and pumping track about confidence. the overall tune takes me back to some of the fandom’s earlier years and the heavy and clever use of Rainbow’s speech from Hurricane Fluttershy really sets the stage for the theme and is a really fun throwback to the pony days of old. If you like fun and catchy music this is a track for you!
F 109 – Pukak | Deep Dubstep
Now this is something I don’t hear very often! F 109 is no stranger to lesser known and underground genres and Pukak is a very ambient and powerful piece that proves it! The subtle intricacy of the vocal chops, the deep and powerful sub bass, the snappy percussion; There is a force to be weary of in this song, but a force to be admired all the same.
Toby Macarony – Drifting off to Sleep | Electro Swing
Toby Macarony always delivers something entirely unique, and this spooky groove is in a league all of its own! The upbeat swing-style mixed with nightmarish Sweetie Belle chops makes for an exhilarating sound. There is a break in the middle that shifts to a slower, half-tempo that really drives home the terror in the track. Drifting off to Sleep has a wide appeal for anyone who enjoys electro house, electro swing, or just scary-themed music, but be warned: the imagery is a bit dark as well!
BlueBrony & PegasYs – Jelly Roll! | Electro-Ragtime
BlueBrony teamed up with PegasYs to create this tasty experience reviving the Ragtime genre in a brand new electronic format, reminding of Electro Swing! PegasYs imagined the track to be about Bon Bon, while BlueBrony did amazing with these pony visuals that fit the music so well! A much creative and groovy piece overall!
[P@D] EnsionD – Wide Skies (feat. Francis Vace) | Progressive House
EnsionD always brings something nice to the table, and this is no exception. Re-imagined from their first major hit, Open Skies this take on the classic has buttery smooth progression and Francis‘s signature vocals; though something I wouldn’t expect add a new perspective and life and together they form what I’d say is a very worthy take on the classic!
This track is available as part of Ponies at Dawn Enigma.
Vylet Pony – Whisper of Her Soul | Synthpop / Breaks
Now this is special. The energy and emotions Vylet conveys is absolutely stunning and the syncopated rhythm and retro-esque feel really brings some life to this story. It opens on a very soothing note and boy, does it ever grow on you in an unexpected way! This song in particular is actually one that was commissioned by Draco Schaeffer, and tells a story of Brash and Golden’s relationship “in an age and universe where Equestria’s sewers are just as colourful as the streets” which personally I think is a very interesting concept for a story and its world. I’m really impressed in how this commission turned out and am very curious to see what else is brought to the table!
Voltex Pixel – We are the One (feat. Princess Twilight Sparkle) | Melodic Dubstep
Now this is a breath of fresh air. Voltex Pixel brings the feel of something old but something new with “We are the One” gives us a taste of intricate melodic vocals from Twilight Sparkle chopped up and creatively spliced throughout the song as well as as some really nice piano melodies and saw chords that remind me of the days back in 2011 where EDM as a whole had that “signature” sound which still holds a special place in my heart. I see some great things coming from this artist in the future 🙂
