Vylet & Sylver – i just want you to notice me | Future

I think this is close enough to call “future”, with low-fi hip-hop influences and some additional audio aesthetic thrown in for good measure. But anyway, about the track itself – this songs marks the release of another character-specific EP from Vylet, simply titled lotus, after the character on whom it focuses, and again with the theme of the album deeply rooted in romance.

You can get the EP for just $2.99 on Bandcamp, and I expect Vylet will upload the remaining songs to YouTube over the coming weeks..

[P@D] PegasYs – Wasteland (DJT Remix) | Neurofunk

NB: This was originally posted on Equicity on 13 January 2017.

As a long time producer in the fandom, DJT has made a name for himself: a name that carries the sweet connotation of exceptional melodies, vocal chops and cute vibes. Forget all this, as this tune is a wholly different kind of beast.

Inspired by the intricate neurobass architecture of the original track, DJT speeds up the experience to drum & bass tempo and provides a steady pluck bassline to bring in hard jump-up vibes, all this while retaining PegasYs’ artful rhodes chords. Plentiful use of silences, reverb and foley creates an immersive atmosphere that beautifully captures the eerie allure of an apocalyptic landscape.

Make sure not to miss out and grab a download on the Ponies at Dawn bandcamp page!

[P@D] DJT & iblank2apples – Sweeter Than This (ft. Wootmaster) | Drum & Bass

Well here we go, time to start posting the P@D: Amity tracks! Feels like it’s been a while since I heard this style of dnb, which reminds me of some stuff by the likes of Pendulum and Muzzy, and who better to present it to us than DJT and iblank2apples? And as an added bonus, Woot drops some sweet bars along to the track too. A phenomenal opening track to Amity.

Dynamite Grizzly – FEELIN’ HAUTE VIP | Tech-House

A new version of a classic from Dynamite Grizzly, sweep samples included at no extra charge. This release is in anticipation of the third of Dynamite’s techno EPs, entitled The Horses Really Like Techno, which you can expect to be full of techno-infused goodness like the above track. If you’re familiar with the last two, you might notice a certain theme going on with the titles…

Kawaii Dash – Flutterbump | Nu Disco

This new track from Xavi’s alter ego marks the first release of 2017 on the Shika No Mori Sound label – and it’s exactly what you’d expect from him. Whompy chords and tight percussion house beats. And Fluttershy vocal samples, of course, it’s Xavi.

DJ RedSky & New Reverian – Of Light and Wings | House

DJ RedSky and New Reverian have collaborated plenty of times in the past and this latest joint effort doesn’t disappoint. It contains a mixture of sounds and styles from both artists that work together great – in my eyes RedSky tends to use simple yet catchy synths which are plentiful in this, while Rev has a great flair for composition and melody. I hope these two keep collaborating in the future, their joint works are always a pleasure to listen to!

Foozogz – You And Me | Electro-Pop

It’s been a while since Fooz’s last original track…okay, last serious original track, but this is one that attendees of Pacific Ponycon might recognise. He premiered the track there and it’s now available for everyone to hear, and to experience the infinite hair attack.

Daniel Ingram – A Changeling Can Change (JoinedTheHerd Remix) | Electro House

NB: This was originally posted on Equestria Daily on 11 January 2017.

Spike’s song from the last season gets some more love with a new remix from JoinedTheHerd! Featuring some pretty great vocal chops, and strong use of the vocals, this is a pretty upbeat remix and uses the main progression in a great way during the ‘drop’ part of the track. Make sure to check it out below if you’re a fan of JTH’s remixes, because this one’s another quality piece to add to the collection!

Homage McGee – Alone | Electro-Pop

NB: This was originally posted on Equestria Daily on 11 January 2017.

Hot off the heels of his last groovy release, Disco Girl, Homage returns with an awesome follow up in the form of Alone. This track instantly hits with a funky groove to it, and some cleverly programmed vocal chops. That continues throughout the track, which whilst carried by the generally ever-present vocals, also has great old-school feeling synth usage.

Note: Since the original video got deleted, you may find the MP3 file of the song here.
