Tripon is back with a really cool twist on Open Up Your Eyes! Starting off with some sharp and eerie plucks the track quickly builds into an absolute banger with an intense bassline with a shuffled rhythm adding to the madness! Tempest cuts through the mix surprisingly well and the ‘softer’ part that we all know from the original also gets the full treatment with a calmer atmosphere and a little room to take a quick break before we get back into the meat of things! This is one of my favourite remixes of this song to date and if you’re looking for a unique remix, you’ve got one right here!
Electronic
Koron Korak – Confrontations | Darksynth
Koron Korak is always good for an off-meta style track and Confrontations is certainly unique! The track starts with off with a strong, ominous organ and transitions into a distorted, almost nightmarish track. The prevailing synth sets the dark tone while the drum beat keeps the intense emotion. Some high voices and powerful bass bring the track together in an awesome and powerful way!
Evgeniy Doctor – Lethal Wrap Up | Progressive Trance
Based off of the track Lethal Industry by Tiesto and blending a heavily processed version of Winter Wrap Up, Evgeniy delivers an energetic and fun track with a very smooth progression that stays interesting throughout. I especially like how the vocals are reminiscent of General Mumble’s style with just enough distortion and tuning and helps bring out the darkness in the track without smothering it completely. An excellent track all around!
Forgiveness & Anguish – Another Day Away | Future Garage / Chillout
Its been nearly two years since I last heard from Forgiveness & Anguish and Another Day Away comes in with a dissonant and mysterious atmosphere with an impeccable sound stage and I absolutely adore the percussive low end energy that glues it all together. This is a very professional and unique sounding track and its an awesome way to re-enter after so many days away!
Toby Macarony – I’ve Watched You | Hybrid Orchestral / Dark Acapella
We’ve come a long way haven’t we? This is a surprisingly sweet tune from Toby as it leads in with a gentle acoustic guitar melody and a soothing backing of strings to harmonize with the iconic vocals from the Season Three Finale, “Celestia’s Ballad” but it wouldn’t be Toby if he left us on that, right? I can assure you as time goes on the track will flip on its head with a masterful use of complex chords and harmonization with a foreboding atmosphere and an almost industrial sound. It threw me for a loop the first time I heard it and I hope the same can be said to those who have yet to listen!
Rusty – 22nd Jeremiah |Indie Pop / Experimental
Rusty is back at it again with their unique style of story telling! This song is a haunting tale of the 22nd Jeremiah; a rusted metal husk of a ship said to contain countless souls and horrors lost at sea generations ago. The vocal processing is quite intriguing, and the steady rise and fall of the melody as it blends electronic elements and pirate themed instrumentation really sells the story! The amount of unorthodox distortions and rigid aspects are quite an experimental treat! If a haunting shanty is what you are after then you’ve found the right song!
Cynifree – Solace | Chillhop
Every new release by Cynifree is a feast, with how the musician always manages to bring unique atmospheres and genres to the table! This one is no exception, and the Chillhop treat is full of surprises! Melodic, dark, mysterious, deep, this gem makes us follow Trixie’s hoofsteps in a new world yet unexplored…
Vylet Pony – Wayward / Norphae (feat. Cactus Flower) | Ambient / Dubstep
Vylet’s masterpieces from her Homeward concept album come in such different styles, but all so gorgeous! Wayward is such a beauty of an Ambient track, while Vylet’s collaboration with Cactus Flower in Norphae is blending chill and hard-hitting vibes for a stunning result! As always, feel free to check out the whole story on Fimfiction!
John Kenza – Love (feat. 4EverfreeBrony) [Hoofy Remix] | Hardstyle
Hoofy’s bringing all the tasty Hardstyle all while extending the cuddly vibes with this remix of John Kenza‘s collab with 4EverfreeBrony, Love! The original vocals get a whole new electronic arrangement and it’s so awesome to get such an alternate version of the beautiful song. Be on the lookout for Hoofy’s contribution to Ponies at Dawn Skyward, whose release draws near!
Ersillus – My Friends | Progressive House
Ersillus makes their debut in the pony music scene with a beautiful Progressive House track that brings much “feel good” vibes along that emotional artwork! A very promising start and we’re excited to hear more from the musician!
