Sky Runner – Fade Away | Drum & Bass

If I was to make a list of songs that make me feel like I’m away from civilization and relaxing with nature all around me, this song would be one of the first on that list. Sky Runner has done an amazing job of combining the smooth beats with an emotional, natural atmosphere to create a beautiful DnB track. The Flutterchops help refine the already serene arrangement and add a calming depth. Now if you’ll excuse me, I’m gonna go find a waterfall to fall asleep next to as I let all my problems just Fade Away.

Przewalski’s Ponies x Adam Sporka – Dutch Tune (For Ember) (feat. Kirya) | Acoustic Chiptune

Yeah you read the title correctly – it’s acoustic chiptune! Adding classical music components to the original chiptune track, the talented members of Przewalski’s Ponies create an amazingly unique cover of the already exciting track. The crew put a new, exciting beat consisting of bass, tambourine, and percussion under the original Atari track with crazy acoustic riffs, an organ, and even a balalaika for a truly one-of-a-kind instrumental!

Daniel Ingram – Flawless (Mantlegen Remix) | Trap / Future Bass

Just another cool remix of the cool song Flawless, this time Mantlegen kills the show with this amazing Trap remix, full of cool synths and cool drumming work. It is short, but I will promise that you will love it! Good job Mantlegen, keep up the good work!

Inkwel – Magical Insanity | Future Bass

Inkwel’s just getting better and better at making fun and interesting little future bass tracks that incorporate chiptune elements. This one has some great melodies and very cleanly mixed sounds that all fit together nicely, and there might be more to come in the form of an EP soon. Subscribe to Inkwel for more deets on that!

Ponies At Dawn – Rebirth | Compilation Album | Multi-Genre

a0202306754_10

Listening to the live album release stream for Rebirth, the thing that strikes me most is how brony musicians are always able to make such diverse songs, and to such a high level of production. From the (admittedly majority) range of electronic styles to the big rock and metal songs, to a full range of acoustic and orchestral tracks, there are constant surprises in store.

We’ll be featuring plenty of songs from the album as they’re released on YouTube by the respective artists or the P@D YouTube channel over the coming weeks. Until then, the album is available to download for any given price on Ponies At Dawn’s bandcamp page.

Modern Bard – The Future Of Equestria V | Electronic

Part 5 of Modern Bard’s vintage electronica EP takes a turn towards 70s synthpop with a little hint of breakbeat style drum programming in there. Super mellow pads and bass sounds give this an ethereal, chill vibe too. There’s still more to come apparently, hopefully with a download link soon!

Drixale – A Little Mad | Future House

Everyone’s favorite commander is in a bad mood and you’ll feel it in this dark, ambient banger. Drixale mixes a great, thumping bass along with ambient and futuristic synths to create a fun, yet edgy house track. Unique in style, and fun all around to listen to, make sure to check out A Little Mad!

Zephysonas – Lunar Knights | Orchestral

One of the best things about music is the infinite creative possibilities that exist for songwriters, and Zephysonas really demonstrates ingenuity with this track. In order to give this orchestral piece elements of dubstep fusion, Zephy deconstructed the wubs from basic synths in lieu of using mainstream methods. Another beautifully executed technique on display is the use of builds through use of full orchestral instruments instead of standard electronic means, fulfilling a dubstep template almost solely with orchestral components. Lunar Knights has a fulfilling, epic sound throughout, and stands as testament to great songwriting means and execution!

TCB – The Magic of Friendship | Breaks / Liquid DnB

To celebrate 1k subs, TCB has made a relaxing Breaks track with incredible sampling work, amazing drum work and amazing bass work. A track full of light and enters your heart and make it warmer. The vocal chops and the Celestia speech sampling were spot on, the “field recording” feeling at the end with the birdsong and the pouring rain sounds like a lot of fun and it fits the mood where we are right now (maybe in Europe). And for the end, that delicious piano part, choosing a great skill behind TCB’s mind. Good job TCB, hope your work inspires new musicians to make good music like yours!
