[SoK] Flittzy – Journey | Pop

NB: This was originally posted on Equestria Daily on 13 February 2017.

Flittzy takes us on a journey with his track from the latest Bronies For Good album, combining his upbeat vocals with the joyous nature of a bounce-y tropical-style instrumental. There’s some really nice synth design that complements the rest of the track very well.

The Midnight Musician – Cider Party | Big Room

NB: This was originally posted on Equestria Daily on 12 February 2017.

Midnight Musician’s taken the idea of a ‘cider party’ pretty literally! This track’s about a cider-filled event at Sweet Apple Acres and has some pretty solid low vocals building up to a big room drop carried by a synth sound that’s pretty characteristic of the genre. It’s a bit of a weird track, but there’s nothing wrong with the occasional track having a bit of character to it in my opinion, so check it out if you’re not averse to that!

Hay Tea – Alternate History VIP | Drum & Bass

Hay’s original version of this came out several months ago, but it’s always nice to hear revamped versions of already stellar tracks. It doesn’t differ hugely from the original, but as Hay Tea puts it himself, ‘New drums, new bass, new mix and better mastering’. Higher quality sounds are always appreciated.

PhonicB∞m – Pensive | Chillout

Phonic’s been experimenting a bit it seems – this chillout piece makes use of both ambient sound effects as part of the percussion and quirky wobbling bass sounds. An interesting hybrid of sounds that works surprisingly better than my less-than-apt description of them!

Ponytronic – Near Clear Skies (Plexitofer Remix) | Electro House

I never thought it possible to make electro house sound so chill, but Plexitofer does just that in this remix of Ponytronic’s Near Clear Skies (appropriate vibe for the song title, eh?). Nice clean drums and a great lead sound are what stand out in particular from this track for me.

[P@D] DJT ft. Puffy – Peppermint (Silva Hound Remix) | Future Bass

This was a nice surprise to hear on Amity – not just the fact that Silva Hound got involved with Ponies At Dawn, but released a future bass track for the first time in years. This remix of Peppermint, from the previous P@D album, keeps the uplifting futurey feel of the original, but sits at the more trap-influenced end of the future bass spectrum, with those classic 808 kicks and snares.
