[ASOS] CRUVOD – Go Forth! | Electronic

This ASOS: Brownie track can be best described as energetic and quick. It has mostly electronic/kind of dubstep music, along with some orchestral music in the middle and towards the end, which really gives the track an upbeat vibe, and overall is a fun and catchy track!

[P@D] Lavender – Once Again (feat. Synthis) | Liquid Drum & Bass

While Lavender has been in the scene for years and years, track 12 from Ponies at Dawn: Ignite is her P@D debut! Once Again is a liquid drum and bass track with some atmospheric and haunting vibes along with the vocal talents of Synthis, who really makes this piece come to life. The soft synth sounds and effects on Synth’s voice stick out, adding to the song’s melancholy nature. In addition to Ignite, this will also be featured on her upcoming album Fragile Heart!

Koron Korak – Rise and Fall (feat. Thöbe) | Drum & Bass

Koron’s new collab with Thöbe is a foray in sharper synths resulting from tasteful inspirations, and the gorgeous vocals are definitely empowering the track! I’m especially a fan of the added melodic Flutterchops and the effect on them, so cool and creative!

RedSpark – Progress | Electro Swing

There are always so many original ideas of fan songs to be had while rewatching the show, and RedSpark illustrates that once more with this creative and fitting spin on the Flim & Flam brothers! The Electro Swing genre works very well and you can easily imagine this as a BGM or character theme for the brothers in the show!

[P@D] GrazySmash – Damodaraya | PsyTrance

Ready for some psychedelic vibes? Track 17 from Ponies at Dawn: Ignite is Damodarya, a Psytrance song from GrazySmash, the first of his three submissions to the album. There’s an entrancing vocal sample that makes for the hook of the song, which takes influence from world music and Goa trance, a la the likes of Juno Reactor. Makes you really want to dance, doesn’t it?

[P@D] Totalspark – What Remains | Liquid Drum & Bass

 

Totalspark’s style is unique in a way that makes it instantly recognizable, whichever genre they work with as long as it is one you can chill to. Part of the reason for it is the chord progressions and pads in their intros, executed beautifully in this one. In What Remains, Totalspark’s vocals shine once more, delivering the poetry in the lyrics splendidly. You can find it among other wonders on Ponies At Dawn Ignite.

[P@D] Greyfade – Outcast | Future Garage

This next track will go right to your heart. 69. On P@D Ignite, we have something a bit more emotional and the feeling of being lost. Greyfade has made a track that tells of a brony trying to find his way in this fandom. The brony is him. Not every brony finds their circle right away; it’s not always friendship is magic. The Melody is hazy and uncertain but as the song goes on, it lightens up and more peaceful and curious melodies are brought in. You can indeed feel the anxiety of this track as the song goes on. Telling a story without words is nothing short of good musical storytelling. I believe that we have all felt like an outcast even in this fandom, but we find our way when you do meet your friends, and by the sounds of it Greyfade did. As always this Qilin asks you judge for yourself.

Glaze – Beyond Her Garden (Koa Remix) | Techno

In honor of reaching 300 Twitter followers (even though it happened back in October), Koa has just released a remix of the classic Beyond Her Garden by Glaze! She’s put her own amazing spin on the original while keeping the same mood. Her voice contains a familiar vocoding effect, and the music sounds bouncy and happy, like a techno song from the 2000s. Hats off to Koa for the crazy work!

RottenTotten – Goldenblood | Synthwave

RottenTotten’s FoE Project Horizons-inspired piece has a lot of meaning behind it, as you will be able to tell by following the text appearing in the video! The composition is quite thoughtful as well and I appreciate all the passion that the musician has poured into this piece!
