From Waffle, the latest compilation from A State of Sugar comes a VIP version of Cynifree and Zizkil‘s From Here To Where, originally from Ice Cream! While the original was a jumpy and cheerful progressive house piece that definitely suited the Kirins, this one shows their harsher Nirik side with the use of aggressive synths, harsh leads and a chopped up vocal sample of Autumn Blaze. The two producers have come together once again to make something heavy-hitting and definitely something you can bang your head to!
Electronic
FilledSilhoutte – B.Y.B.B | Future Funk
I believe Funk as a genre is not used nearly enough in our fandom after hearing this track by FilledSilhoutte. Vignette Valencia from EQG’s Rollercoaster of Friendship was a nasty character. She pretty much was Rarity without Rarity’s good quality. When I hear this funky melody it does scream the arrogance and ego of her character. Funk as the music itself can be used to emote or highlight a theme. The music itself was used to give Vignette a sense of style and the right amount of her annoying self-centered ego. Funk as a genre has always been about style, class, and smoothness. This track uses that to a fine key. Well done by FilledSilhoutte who must have done his homework about this genre. As always, please judge for yourself, as this Qilin will tell you.
P.S: This guy only has 142 subs on his channel. That is a crime. Please show some love to him.
[ASOS] GrazySmash & Tw3Lv3 – Dungeon | Psytrance / Dubstep
My first taste of what ASOS brings to the table is this collab by GrazySmash & Tw3Lv3! And Oh my, It’s themed after Daring Do. Trust me when I say it’s a banger that fits great. Picture Daring Do walking into the location of her next treasure. Sizing up her task. The opening melody builds up energy as she gets a feel for the place, Then BOOM! This song kicks in like a rapid-fire machine gun!. She shoots off into searching for her goal, dodging and weaving through all of the dangers within. The way the beats go all over the place. It gives you an idea of what she is in for. It lets you imagine her traversing through these perils with style. The use of exotic sounds is a nice touch as well. The mixing is just plain sick and adventurous. Someone honesty should do an SFM animation to this track of Daring Do making it look easy to this exciting track. So much fun! As always. This Qilin asks you to judge for yourself.
Tw3Lv3 – Canterlot Suburb | Lo-fi
Short but sweet, Tw3Lv3 returns to give us a chilled out lofi beat. A minimal song – only containing a bassline, a drum track and a filtered guitar sample – it serves as a good background track, perfect for walking down a calm, empty street in the morning. Good luck getting this funky track out of your head!
[NSN] AJ Young – Old School | Riddim / Dubstep
Reminisce on old memories enough recently? If you said no, perfect! Have I got the ditty for you! Fresh off the new Never Say Neigh compilation album, AJ Young introduces a song including the quintessential sampling of old fandom standards topped with modern dubstep trends. If you said yes, not to worry because nostalgia will always purge your veins, no matter the walk of life you are in. So there’s no reason not to yield to the turbulent hard-hitter that is AJ Young’s Old School!
Rusty Thorsell – Hazy Hallow | Indie Pop
Rusty’s unique musical mind has spawned another great song! The track contains a unique blend of EDM with string instruments joined with his wordless, yet melodious vocals, creating a psychedelic feeling all throughout. All this, coupled with the flashy and distorted light show of his horse, brings forth a unique experience for the eyes and ears; don’t miss out on this one, everycreature!
[ASOS] Zythiria – Manehattan Night Club | Electro House / Chillout
Get up and get ready to jam out to Zythiria‘s new hit, Manehattan Night Club. Audibly pleasing synths, give a traditional Electro house feeling. All the while having a welcome and intuitive offset of a bass guitar. This song is sure to lighten any mood and get the day (or night) rolling. So gear up, mash down on that throttle, and give it a listen!
This song is a part of the compilation album A State of Sugar: Waffle. Make sure to stop by and check out some more of the awesome music!
Power Note – Late Night | Synthwave
When the night has come and the land is dark, this track should suit the mood perfectly. Power Note brings forth a chilled out synthwave number with voice samples of Fluttershy. The synth-driven beat and her voice seem to be a match made in heaven. Sounds like a beautiful combination, right? Even when she’s not singing, the music still sounds fresh and full, even during the soft synth and piano breakdown. Synthwave and electronic lovers alike, you’ll all love this!
[PP] Neu KatalYst – cmap.exe (feat. Starbrush) | Acid / Experimental / Industrial
Coming from the latest Pinkamena Party release, brony Drum and Bass legend Neu KatalYst, with the help of Starbrush, delivers a frantic and danceable experimental acid electronic track, reminding me of 90’s acid songs, mostly on an industrial take on the matter – respecting the theme of the Pinkamena Party album – old school eletronic/experimental music. Inspired by the soundtrack of the amazing anime Serial Experiments Lain and by the character of Friendship is Witchcraft – Sweetie Bot, the acid and psychedelic feeling plus the mechanical and cold frantic sounding textures and sounds make it really enjoyable. An experimental acid track with an industrial cherry on the top, making it really good. Good job on this one Neu and Starbrush!
Never Say Neigh – Black Stable: Vol. 2 | Compilation Album | Dubstep / Riddim
The ultra-talented Never Say Neigh crew is back with another, albeit more compact than the last, face-melting compilation album! The shorter length makes it easy to digest in one go and each track has something standout about it. AJ Young’s Old School has a killer drop mixed in with some recognizable OG brony media samples, SKUNKED’s Wrath has some fantastic strings and sound design throughout, Suskii’s F*** You Up has an extremely unique groove in its last drop, and much, much more. This is definitely one of the premiere pony releases this year!
