Phoxi – Redolence | Tech House | Introducing: The HMC YouTube Channel

NB: This was originally posted on Equestria Daily on 7 January 2017.

Phoxi is at it again with an awesome new tech house track! Often one to dabble in outlandish sound design, Phoxi is also able to show off here an ability to create a track that can immerse the listener rather than barraging them.

This track was featured on the Horse Music Central Volume 2 album, and also acts as the first release for their new YouTube channel where they’ll be showing off awesome new horse music on a regular basis!

Mane In Green – Morning Walk | Chillout

Start off the day with this appropriately titled track from Mane In Green. It starts off with some nice ambient pads and bell sounds, before a somewhat eclectic drumkit kicks in with a soft, half-time beat. And the twist of orchestral instruments in a mostly electronic track do this some wonders too!

Vahts – Fancy Mathmatics | Synthwave / Trap

Help someone let Francis use of them electronic music thingamajigs…

… and the result is actually alright, surprisingly catchy too. Check it out for something a bit different and experimental from our otherwise rock-orientated friend.

Daniel Ingram – Midnight In Me (Brilliant Venture Remix) | Dubstep

NB: This was originally posted on Equestria Daily on 5 January 2017.

After some time, we got a pretty great remix of Midnight In Me from bank pain recently, and here we have another one, this time from Brilliant Venture! Complete with a music video made up of clips from the movie, this one’s full of the heavy wubs and minor chiptune influences common to Venture’s music , and complements the vocals pretty well. Make sure to check it out below!

UndreamedPanic & Bank Pain – Night Light | Melodic Dubstep

NB: This was originally posted on Equestria Daily on 4 January 2017.

What a way to start off their year! Panic has teamed up with bank pain to produce one of the coolest dubstep tracks I’ve heard in this kind of style for quite some time in the fandom. The intro and the bridge are just professional as heck with beautiful vocal chops and the drops are full of some really neat sound design. Make sure to check this out if you’re at all interested in melodic music or dubstep!

Seventh Element – Fear of Dark | Album | Electronic


NB: This was originally featured on Equestria Daily on 24 December 2016.

Seventh Element, one of the most prolific artists in the fandom, has released a spooky concept album called Fear Of Dark. Generally things like this are best served in one extended sitting – which is probably why he’s uploaded it all as one singular video. This is a pretty dark album, with ambient and foreboding soundscapes, however some parts include vocals, and others are a bit more uptempo. He’s also written a fanfic to go with it, if you want to go deep into the meaning of the album, as both the story and the album are meant to compliment each other. Make sure to check the video of the album out below if this sounds like something for you – it’s high quality stuff!

PS from Spectra: Sorry readers (and especially sorry SE if you’re reading) if you were expecting a more comprehensive post. We definitely fell behind in December, and I especially haven’t been able to keep up as much as I used to. We’re working on a way to fix that, I promise.

[P@D] DJT & ExplodingPonyToast – Sugar Shy | Indie Dance

[inb4 I get flak for putting earlier songs on hold to talk about this]

It’s that time again. The upcoming Ponies At Dawn album, Amity, is due to be released next Friday 13th January. And so we’re having some special pre-releases on Cider Party to give you an idea of some of the stuff on the album. This installment is a much more collaborative work – every track on Amity is either a collaboration or a remix (hence the name) – and to show that we’ve got DJT and EPT’s track Sugar Shy. While none of us can agree on the genre, we agree that it’s a great track, and the art is fitting and super cute.

We’ll have more info on pre-ordering the album and the livestream party in a couple of days. Keep an eye out for that!
