Making gorgeous use of vocal chops constructed from the song from the recent CMC episode, TCB creates a beautiful atmosphere. It also has some sections with the vocal unchopped that work just as well. The instrumental fits with them in a terrific way, initially understated and chilled out, before going a bit more into overdrive with some drum & bass percussion.
Another great contribution to the most recent Ponies at Dawn compilation album, RKDM brings us this unique, bumpin’ track. The song begins with a great chiptune intro that builds into a mighty glitch hop piece. Perspective is a testament to how well chops can be used! The Fluttershy snippets sing along with the track and add an incredible melody as an additional layer to the song. RKDM changes up the different phrases and sprinkles the chiptune back in halfway through to keep the track fun and interesting. Make sure to check out this great standalone addition to a fantastic album.
It’s like a fast change… first the party then hell on earth.
Two creative minds in the experimental/hard music scene in the brony fandom, Phoxi/PVNK and NextLevelDerp joined forces to create an alias called Noizepon, a wild adventure we have when we listen to this track. This track really amazed me, the high distortion and the aggressiveness of the sound and texture makes this track one of the best Gabber songs ever put by a brony, outside Pinkamena Party! This all in 2-track EP that will melt your ears with awesomeness and destruction! Good job both of you!
War change us, war break us, war tear us up…
Coming from Rebirth, Midnight Musician delivers an uplifting and yet emotional track about war, with vocal help from his sister, Love Poisoned. The atmospheric and ethereal synth work with the vocal vox/chops to fit the heavy atmosphere of the track, along with the simple drum patterns. The lyrics are also really emotional and philosophical with a simple and emotionless performance, a thing that I love in this type of track. Keep doing this type of tracks Mid! I also want to hear more stuff with your sister! Bom trabalho!

Tripon’s neurofunk works are always great fun to vibe along to, and this one is exceptional in its flow. Based around the attack of the windigoes, clean drum & bass percussion is supplemented by strong neuro sound design and atmospheric pads.

Honestly, this is one of my favourite releases of the year so far, as Faulty continues to impress. Featuring some spellbinding vocals from ThatMusicBrony which fit with the instrumental perfectly, this chilled out house tune speaks of the internal struggle the mane 6 go through after Discord removes the powers of the elements of harmony from them. It’s beautifully put together with some lovely lyricism, plus some terrific vocal chops towards the end, and really well worth a listen.
Little bit of dnb, little bit of happy hardcore. Brohoof blends the two genres together pretty well in this VIP of one of his older tracks, mixing in some neat vocal chops along the way.
I’m always a very skeptic person when it comes to remixing classic tunes, but Zizkil proved himself true in this. This remix is a masterpiece of a glorious tune. It’s perfect in every sense of a track which already represents that very essence. ❤ You all rock! Keep it up guys! Everybody, show some love!

lia;quo’s Japanese stylings always make for some super interesting music, and here is no different, with a new melodic dubstep tune inspired by Twilight’s struggles through the MLP movie. Soft vocals sung in Japanese fit beautifully with some lovely composition and subtle synths, before some powerful drops that excellently blend emotional chords and cool bass design.
Sky’s remix of Hay Tea’s dnb track Waiting Room doesn’t stray that far from the original in terms of style and genre, but certainly adds to it. The rhodes piano and those smooth, more jazzy chords compliment this kind of liquid dnb really nicely!
