Heartfelt works made in tribute to our beloved characters is one of the things I love to see the most, and this song dedicated to Rainbow Dash’s character depth certainly is a wonderful experience, with its unique progressive instrumental of nearly 10 minutes, its magnificent duet in collaboration with the amazing Cadie who also provides quality backing vocals, and its dark yet lovely and meaningful concept around faking a “tough act”, inspired by Rainbow Dash (some text quotes at the end of the video!)
Electronic
Sky Runner & Hay Tea – Guardian Of Dreams | Neurofunk
This dark-as-can-be Neurofunk track may not be an actual collab track between Sky Runner and Hay Tea (however that is bound to happen… huehuehue), it is still a delight to witness. We can definitely feel the insane potential of the union of such talented DnB musicians, as we embrace the darkness along the wicked distorted wubs and the ominous piano, soothed by the power and appeal of the Night. Check also Hay Tea’s upload!
Intersekt – Fight Me | Drum & Bass
As heard at the Cider Party, this track from Intersekt off the Cordale EP (a Nightwave Studios release) impresses with a very inventive take on Drum & Bass and a progression full of surprises that are bliss for the ear. With its own story in continuation with the others tracks from the EP, this favorite of mine is an all-time masterpiece to play at many parties!
Dynamite Grizzly – Trickery (feat. Enny Gima) | Techno
Full of emotion, this great and powerful track by Dynamite Grizzly reflects on Trixie’s moving sacrifice in the season’s finale in the most fitting ways, conveying Trixie’s strength of character and the epicness of the moment with mighty guitars from Enny Gima and incredible rythmic synths, but also the sincerity of Trixie’s feelings and her character depth with utterly beautiful and emotional melodic parts like at 2:44. I’ve got to say Dynamite Grizzly’s musical sensitivity for those is astounding, and I love it a lot. Powerful track and tribute to Trixie and the finale, and you know that when Discord says Trixie is self-absorbed, the reason why Trixie is so hurt and angry at that, is because despite her habit to boast, she actually have the biggest and most tender feelings toward her friends, Starlight in particular.
Kawaii Dash – Moe Hors | Future House
We can always count on Kawaii Dash aka Xavi to give us the purest and smoothest Future vibes, and this Future House track certainly isn’t lacking inventive sound design, moe whomps, crisp percussions, and mellow (not to say water-y) vibes. If the feeling of getting into a party in Equestria full of cute ponies and refreshing drinks all around was turned into a song, this might just be the result. Another wonderful release from Xavi-chi!
[P@D] Del Rom – Ignition | Glitch-Hop
One of the many gemstones found along the journey of Voyager, Del Rom’s Ignition gets a YouTube release and it is with much pleasure that I’m posting this masterpiece of a track here. Not only the track is full of inventive and utterly beautiful parts with both melodic instrumental and divine vocal chops, but its emotion convey so much of the theme of the album in some way, displaying mighty power and filling the soul with awe (with moments like at 2:16 that always make me about to tear up), providing a very emotional experience over a solid progression, much like the journey evoked by the album.
cuberoot – Flight | Progressive House
Another one of my recent favorites, this amazing Progressive House track from Cuberoot not only takes on a very emotional and fan-favorite theme, but pays tribte to it in the most beautiful ways, with leads of much magic uplifting the soul, and a progression where the happiness never stops. Ponies make so much magic!
MintFritter – Machine Of Destruction | Midtempo
MintFritter serves us with a darker take on the Flim&Flam brothers in musical format, bringing all the Nightmare Night-ish frightening vocals and haunting mood from the instrumental, not failing to make the two villains sound more fearsome. Let’s hope there will be some heroes to save the world… again!
Polarhigh – 13 | Soundtrack
Much reminiscent of certain OSTs from Nintendo DS games, this new track from Polarhigh continues a streak of inventive musical vision with a mellow mood and happy melodies, and of course that delightful Soundtrack vibe that ravishes the soul of the gamer. Soundtrack is love, soundtrack is life!
Sky Runner – Running of the Leaves | Drum & Bass
Masterpiece incoming!! In all honesty, I was blown away by this new DnB track from Sky Runner. The gentle and nice theme and cover art, the soft and emotional melodies entering and guiding the soul along a gorgeous path of sounds, the sub bass taking us by surprise and entrancing with a power unlike any other, a break of much sensitivity and blissful reflection, and to add extra emotion, crystal-y sounds of incredible purity… Yep, I’m literally crying while re-listening to this track and writing this. So much emotion… We are truly blessed.
