Emotional song warning! This alternate version of Times Like These proves once again Ponytronic’s skill at crafting unique pieces and arrangements reaching out to the soul in the most unexpected ways. There’s just something about that soft, mellow yet melancholic instrumental full of untold depth and beauty, and when the vocal samples come in, that’s when I feel like welling up. A much magnificent Acoustic Mix like you’ve never heard!
Electronic
DJRedSkY – Midnight Essence | Chillout
Featuring JoelletheNose’s gracious art, DJRedSkY’s new track is a blissful experience of sound much fitting to the comfort of the Night and of the natural setting pictured by the cover art. Futuristic synths, ice-y xylophone, and stylish beats all provide a comforting experience enjoyed best while partaking in the Night’s soothing vibes…
Skelter – Time Travel | Trap
The epic S5 finale will never cease to inspire with its classic yet much appreciated theme of time travels making for much depth, and Skelter’s latest release takes on that theme with all the Trap expertise that the musician harnessed over the composing experiences. Expect sick synths and a sweet progression!
Brodub – Past | Progressive House
Brodub serves us an uplifting and joyful Progressive House tune full of subtle depth, conveying quite well a part of Starlight’s character depth and perhaps also reflecting the amount of determination and effort needed in order to face and overcome your past. A much enjoyable track indeed!
NeoN Lights – Aftermath | House
You might think it’s spoilers, but it’s not. Having made a strong fandom debut, Neon Lights is back at the house game again. I can’t quite tell what the particular influence is, but this track seems to be inspired by some fanon content (in particular Rain-Gear’s artwork). Decent sound design, nice mixing – it’s an all-round good show in my books.
ertrii – Tree | Chill House
Ready for some dreaming? The master of chill music has more content for you! This track has a wonderful slow beat and a breakdown featuring some highly reverbed pony voices from the show. Additionally, there is a beautiful piano running through the whole track adding a wonderful tone to the whole thing. A very enjoyable experience!
ertrii – Overcoming | Chill House
Never a stranger to wonderful relaxing music, ertrii brings us this beautiful original track. Words can hardly describe the emotions this one evokes. With deeper kicks and beautiful plucks on the synth, it feels almost like you are gliding through clouds. And, as if this was the intention, beautiful guitars reminiscent of Soaring Flight’s music come in and completely steal your soul.
Suskii – Chaos | Dubstep
Taken from the brand new BUGSQUAD EP, this new track from Suskii has some great sound design, with plenty of growls and other bass sounds that gel together perfectly. I love the use of a harmonic minor key too, it adds an even darker feel to the song.
Suskii’s BUGSQUAD EP is available to download from Bandcamp, entirely for free!
Totalspark – Meditation | Downtempo
Totalspark brings us an absolute delight in the form of a beautiful chillout track. Titled Meditation, the track will truly take you over and pull you in a wonderful journey though sound. Gentle pads, beautiful slow melodies and deep bass, it is almost a dream-like experience listening to this wonderful track.
Lunar Drift – Balance In The Night | Orchestral Electronic
NB: This was originally posted on Equestria Daily on 5 June 2017.
Lunar Drift returns with a new orchestral-flavoured electronic piece. There’s some nice piano melodies, strong strings and neat percussion and rolling basslines, as well as some subtle guitar later on in the piece.
