It looks like another artist is beginning to venture into the rougher side of dance music, and PekaNo does a great job with their initial foray into frenchcore! Vocal chops and an arpeggiating synth dance around the iconic grit of the pumping hardcore kick to make for a nice groove, though I’m excited to see the result of including some more auxiliary percussion, dynamic atmosphere, and a consistent use of vocals in a future release. Keep it up!
Electronic
fractilx ft. Kyu – Flurry Heart | Happy Hardcore
fractilx is back again with a cute little happy hardcore piece about everyone’s favourite the new royal baby. If your headcanon has been affected by this new turn of events, please contact your local Deal-With-It™ centre for assistance.
PhonicB∞m – Get Derp’d | Electro House
PhonicB∞m releases the finished version of the demo that he had included in his Nightmare Night 2015 mix (that I recommend by the way), and does it deliver! Also as catchy as ever. It’s now part of the newly released Sonomancy album that you can buy for $3 on Bandcamp.
Totalspark – Sonorous Showers | Chillout
From the just-released Ephemeral EP, Totalspark brings us one of the most chill tracks of the EP, with a concept of bringing the beauty of rain sounds and atmospheres, much like what classical composer Chopin did with his “Raindrop” prelude.
PON3 – Rapture [Ark EP] | Chillstep
PON3 is without a doubt one of the best electronic artists going around in the fandom, and here he showcases that with Rapture, a chillstep track from his new Ark EP, awash with immersive sounds and brilliant vocal chops.
KD x XAVI – Ayyyyyy! | Trap
XAVI tends to explore a lot of the less-often traversed landscapes in the pony music scene, such as future house and future bass, but here with KD he brings his ethereal interpretation of trap to the fore.
Daniel Ingram – Equestria Girls (Danielkon Remix) | House
Equestria Girls may not be loved by everybody, but most of us can agree that it at least gives Daniel Ingram a chance to put together some pretty great tunes, and one of my favourites is definitely the title track (also known as the ‘Cafeteria Song’). Here, Danielkon superbly remixes it in a fun house style that complements the original vocals very well.
Hornwerk – The Unicorns (Tales of the Old Unicornia) | Techno
If you like Kraftwerk, or other old-school style techno music, then this ponification cover of their track ‘The Robots’ by Flyghtning is just the thing for you! With a driving beat and some neat robotic voices, it’s definitely a fun track.
Spectra’s Top 10 Pony Songs of 2015
Hey guys, Spectra here. So I decided to jump on the bandwagon and do one of these Top 10 lists, so after purging through my liked videos playlist altering my Top 25 of the year vote to avoid duplicates with the others from this site, I narrowed it down to these 10. Again, they’re not in any particular order, but the last two are kind of my two overall favourites. Catch them after the break!
Freewave – The Mistake | Synthwave
Check out this narrative synthwave tune from Freewave’s album, “The Long Goodbye”. Like the rest of the tracks on the release, it manages to encapsulate an episode of season five through an impressive diversity of style.
