PegasYs makes a glorious return with his first upload in nearly 2 years: a remix of To The Nines from Ponies at Dawn: Eternal! This new take on the Koa original is a slower, more laid-back rendition with a slappier bassline and brilliant soft synth riffs while still utilising Koa’s gorgeous voice, keeping the same emotions as the original. It’s as if Rarity and Vinyl Scratch have teamed up to create a hit song in Equestria!
Electronic
Hoofy – P!NK GVNG | Dubstep
Heavy is the hoof that brings the noise. Hoofy’s latest tune is P!NK GVNG, an intense dubstep track that combines elements of trap, breakbeat, drum & bass and even metal at one point. Starting out with a trap beat, we’re then thrust into a big buildup before being bludgeoned with intense wubs and heavy drums. A couple of bars even feature the iconic Amen Break with powerful DnB bass behind it. This beastly banger will be sure to make a crowd go insane!
Aventrix – Searching For Harmony | Trance
Aventrix ventures into trance territory for the first time with Searching for Harmony. What follows is an adventurous sounding melody that resembles the MLP theme. The overall track sounds like a trance piece from the early/mid 2000s, giving it a nostalgic feeling which is always a bonus. Should be no surprise given how far the fandom’s come!
Tadpole – Twilit Remembrance | Future Bass
I’ve said it plenty of times but it bears repeating: these ponies’ voices were meant for electronic music. Twilit Remembrance is a smooth Future Bass track that utilises plenty of vocal chops of Twilight’s voice along with beautiful synth riffs and pads alongside a trap beat. A catchy reminder of the show that made all this possible!
[Helpie’s Corner] PeKaNo – The Pit | Drum & Bass/Ambient
Sometimes it’s hard to move forward, even though time waits not for you… Track 5 from the recently-released Helpie’s Corner compilation Other Side of the Mirror sees an emotional drum & bass/ambient hybrid song from PeKaNo that follows the album’s theme of loss. The first part of the song sees a fast drum & bass beat placed over a slower, more emotional beat alongside a synth, string and piano combo, before the drums fade out to the sound of Twilight’s voice saying “I could have gained a sister, but instead, I just lost a brother” as the piano and atmospheric synth continues to ring out, giving time to reflect and dwell. Emotions have been running wild in the fandom lately.
[Equinity] Spikey Wikey – Shining Free VIP (Single Purpose Remix) | Drum & Bass
Drum and Bass is such an exciting genre to listen to, and this track is a great example of why: it’s fast paced, has some awesome electronic music, with the drums in the background making a great rhythm. This one in particular uses lines from the show, which mix in great with the music.
Thrasher – Welcome To Insanity | Album | Industrial Metal
Industrial metal musician Thrasher’s third studio album is finally here, and it’s definitely a treat. With 11 tracks of industrial metal goodness, this is an album you won’t want to pass up. Emanon, Blackened Eyes and A Villain’s Descent were released as pre-release singles, which leaves us with 8 brand new stellar songs to hear. After the album’s ominous opener, Evolution, we’re greeted with powerful metal tracks in the form of Emanon and Annihilation. Both of these songs are erratic and fast-paced, filled with chugging guitars that you’ll easily find yourself headbanging to. Track 4, – Disoriented – starts out with a unique Indian-inspired atmosphere, with tablas and sitars leading the intro before bringing the rhythm section and distorted guitars into the mix, making what can best be described as a heavier Tool-sounding song. The middle of the album sees a minute long interlude, consisting of a distant electric guitar ringing out before heading into the transition for the next track, Insanity. The two stand out tracks on this album are Colossus and The Word Above, both of which are longer than 6 minutes. Both tracks are heavy, filled with electronic elements and feel a lot shorter than they actually are. Overall, this album is a must-listen if you’re into industrial metal such as Fear Factory. You won’t regret it in the slightest.
John Jennings Boyd & Lisette Bustamante – The Other Side (Wootmaster Remix) | Drum & Bass
Combining pony and EQG Rarity vocal samples, Wootmaster presents us a tasty and lovely remix of the highly-acclaimed EQG song The Other Side that got released along such a fabulous music video! The same creative vibes can be felt here through the refined DnB instrumental that would certainly make Rarity proud, and the perfect layering of the original vocals. And those pony Rarity samples in the background are just the icing on the cake!!
PeKaNo – Compromised Fluttershy | Drum & Bass
It’s been a little while since we’ve heard from PeKaNo. Compromised Fluttershy is a new tune that combines soft elements such as synths and wind instruments along with harsher ones, such as a drum n’ bass beat as well as a low synth bass. It’s a unique combination for sure, and it works to great effect. A tune perfectly suited for everypony’s favourite shy mare!
Daniel Ingram – The True Gift of Gifting (Foozogz Remix) | Breakbeat
This remix gives the happy and emotional Best Gift Ever song some new electronic music, which blends with the vocals, giving it a some really exciting parts to listen to, as well as keeping the original emotion of the song there. A really awesome track just in time for the holidays!
