ertrii – Perfect Day | Drum & Bass

Hey, that artwork looks familiar… Don’t let the genre label deceive you, it’s still got ertrii’s signature chill vibe to it, just at a much faster tempo than usual. Short but sweet, this song does seem to encapsulate the essence of the artwork used in the form of sound.

Sights Unseen – Lullaby | Synthpop

NB: This was originally posted on Equestria Daily on 9 November 2016.

Starting out with some haunting vocal choir-like harmonies, an ominous bassline soon rolls in, signifying that this is certainly not an especially happy song. Whilst it feels quite dark, I think the intended tone of this track is one of accepting that it’s okay to say goodbye. This is translated well with a transition later in the track towards more uplifting and yet sorrowful chords. Definitely a cool track from Sights, and well worth checking out if you want something bittersweet.

Strigidae – Butterfly Zyner (Remaster) | Indie Dance

Strigidae’s masterpiece, Butterfly Zyner, gets a much welcomed remaster in which we get to dive once more in unique and gorgeous vocals, mellow instrumental and tender backstory and lyrics, in a renewed experience of sound. Glim Glam is such a big cutie!

DJRedSkY – Moving on | Deep House

In continuation from the last post which was about Luna’s Breaking Point as she became Nightmare Moon, this new Deep House track from DJRedSkY enacts in musical format her repentance and acceptance, Moving On. Perfectly reflecting the peace of mind conveyed by the gorgeous artwork by Viwrastupr used as the cover art, the track takes us for a blissful voyage among crystalline sounds and melodies.

FillyInTheBox – Sugar Meltdown | Electro

NB: This was originally posted on Equestria Daily on 7 November 2016.

Filly in the Box has been on fire recently, and this trend continues with another heavy track dominated by powerful bass design. The Pinkie Pie vocal chops help to set the tone of the track before the distorted-feeling bass sounds come in to drive it forward with some great energy and compositional design. Definitely worth checking out if you like the heavy stuff!

Totalspark – Pillars | Trap

It’s nice to hear a refreshingly new take on trap. Rather than the standard minimal sounding drop, Totalspark’s gone for something with an Eastern melodic influence and big sounding leads. A very nicely done song, and good for Sparky for taking on various genres with his own style!

Luminn – Phantomhorse | Drum & Bass

There’s always room for a belated Nightmare Night track, and it seems ASoS picked this one as their signature NMN song. I hear a couple of Sytrus presets in there (*waves fist at the sound of Borealis*) but it’s still a pretty solid track. Vibrato leads make it extra spooky.

Sky Runner – Stargazer | Drum & Bass

Not very long at all after their debut release, Sky Runner has another track for us! This one makes more use of breakbeat-style beat patterns and more drawn out synth sounds than Antagonist, but still has the great liquid vibe to it!
