This piece is heavier, with Phonic throwing some pretty cool heavy drops together alongside great use of Pinkie Pie vocal samples throughout the piece that help to give it an interesting flavour.

Trixent’s been one of my recent favourites in the drum & bass scene, so it’s cool to see him take his shot at remixing a track from Hay Tea, one of the others who has been doing great recently. With some great use of the samples from the original to help build an atmosphere, it then builds into some great gritty rolling bass design, with some cool fills and piano to help complement it. Check it out for some smooth dark vibes!
It’s been a good few months since Einarx’s last EP but his latest one, Nightwatcher, sees a real step up in production for one of Magnus Records’ most prominent contributors. We’ve already featured 3 of the 5 tracks on this EP here on the site, so I won’t go into full depth on this post. The songs range from melody-based dubstep and dnb, to some more hard hitting trap and electro house – a good reflection of the range of styles he has to offer. So if your tastes in music include the EDM umbrella, I can definitely recommend this EP to you.
You can download this EP on the Magnus Records bandcamp for absolutely free.
And that art by Marenlicious is pretty awesome too!

Sometimes it’s nice to have music that seems to have one purpose – and that’s to convey joy and happiness. Henni’s recent Wonderful Friends EP sets out exactly with that goal in mind and to me, Beautiful Smile accomplishes it fantastically. Upbeat synths playfully dance around some really upbeat progressions, and it definitely leaves me with a smile.
This new release from 174UDSI has the concept of ponies journeying in space to seek new habitats, and it is served in much uplifting vibes as Trance-y synths and melodies reply to the lyrics in a very hopeful, positive way. A cheerful Equestrian anthem for space for sure!
Rejoice party ponies, because MrMehster treats us with an amazing remix of the memorable recent Cider Party held at Midnight Musician’s! Restarting the party all over again, and this time with a banging Electro House spin, the remix creates much party spirit with a lively instrumental delightfully reminding of the Party With Pinkie days, while also showcasing the vocals from the original track with much style and panache. A perfect remix and party anthem to play during many crazy nights! This one’s on me, my ponies! (Pinkie voice) Also, I’m writing this as I have my coffee in an official Cider Party mug, I think this is the best mug I could have for this!
Historical moment as our beloved HACKD from the HMH team and Cider Party makes his debut on the site as a solo post! Also it’s not often that we get a YouTube release at all either, and it’s unfortunate especially considering that the underground musician makes really awesome tunes! And this one is no exception! Bringing forth highly energetic vocals from S6’s memorable griffon Gabriella “Gabby”, it unleashes powerful DnB greatness and makes for an amazing progression full of crazy vocal work and mad synths, showcasing that blissful sound design that is almost becoming a signature sound, and paying well-deserved tribute to Gabby.

Sky Runner returns with somewhat of a follow up to one of her first tracks, Antagonist. Making some terrific use of sampling, the drums work terrifically with the rest of the instrumental, and there’s some really nice ambient sound effects throughout the track as well that help to add an extra dimension to it. I especially like the reverse-effect fills that turn up now and then.

Brilliant Venture delivers a dark and mysterious-feeling Fluttershy-focused tune that builds up spooky vibes before dropping some of his trademark dubstep sounds. The outro especially has some beautiful vocal chopping.

This track makes use of sounds from Winter Wrap Up, with an eerie music box intro leading into a heavy build to some aggressive drop sounds. The second drop is especially cool with some rising bass sounds.
