MirroredReality – Rangoli | Big Room House
[P@D] Tw3Lv3 & Jalmaan – See You | Drum & Bass
There is Drum & Bass, then there is Drum & Bass done by Tw3Lv3. Adding to the string of releases just electrifying Rainbow Dash tracks is this beauty done by the duo of Tw3Lv3 and Jalmaan on P@D Zenith. With the Melo harmonies done by these two, the blistering pace of beat will have you thinking about how you have grown stronger as lyrics will tell you that you are not the same! Dynamite track. As always, this Qilin asks you to judge for yourself.
[P@D] Thrasher – Fall Again | Metal / Trance
Thrasher has the reputation of making some seriously hard-hitting metal over the past few P@D albums. His take on doing something on Tempest Shadow? Oh boy, how about playing up to Tempest’s cold and calculating temperament that leads to her killer instinct! The brake bones, hardcore metal screaming into your ears mixed with these waves of trance, with a taste of reggae, a fascinating but compelling fusion. It is just the picture you see of Tempest on another bounty she must take down for Equestria. This is wild on P@D Zenith. As always, this Qilin asks you to judge for yourself.
MLP FiM – “Winter Wrap Up” (Event HoriXZ0n Remix) | Electro House
Event HoriXZ0n has remixed a cult classic with some electro flavor! The rolling melody now sports some mellow but rich saws with the soundscape being quite atmospheric despite the typical “in your face” feel of a lot of electro house tracks making this a refreshing take on the genre! “Smile Song”also makes a seamless cameo with a melancholic breakdown and piano solo that gradually shifts back into the cheery high energy of the chorus we all know and love! Fun all around with a wonderful switch-up, this one is a must-listen on your daily commute!
Koa – Background pt. 2 | Pop
Who doesn’t love a good sequel? Acting as the Bon Bon counterpart to a recent Lyra song, Background pt. 2 is a softer song that encapsulates her feelings for Lyra. The instrumentation is more minimal, leaving more room for Koa’s vocals and the words she sings, yet every part of the composition has its role and fits together nicely.
Toby Macarony – Glitchy Vitchy | Jazz / Glitch-Hop
Toby’s got a bit of a reputation with his unique approach to music; transcending and blending genres is what he’s best known for in some circles and this song is no exception! What starts off sounding like a solemn bluesy jazz number quickly transforms into something energetic and spooky. It turns out shuffled walking basslines and punch “tombstone” drums make a great combination – who knew?
Totalspark – Perception | Liquid Drum & Bass
A recent release by Totalspark is one of the great examples of a darker style of Liquid Drum & Bass, and it proves that by wasting no time, setting a mood right away – the colorful somber pads and a plucky bell-chime melody, followed with a heavy sub, will create a gloomy picture in your mind, yet not without a glimpse of hope. It’s both simple and complex at the same time, it’s deep, intense, and will definitely get stuck in your head for quite some time – I heavily encourage you to experience this mix of dark undertones with a total spark (pun intended) of light.
Silva Hound – The Blaze (ft. Namii) | Bass House
An articulate, sassy rap delivered by Namii perfectly accentuates this earworm by Silva Hound. It features a solid, commanding synth hook that’s perfect for blasting from your best speakers, and invites the listener to “get your blaze on,” a fitting refrain for an all-around fire track.
MathematicPony – Dealbreaker (Redux) [Nyanakaru Remix] | Future Bass
Nyanakaru emphasizes the tension behind MathematicPony’s track “Dealbreaker” with this wonderful, brooding remix. Powered by shining synth work and Math’s distorted vocals, as well as a sprinkling of trap elements, you’re sure to get lost in this atmospheric banger in no time.
