PSFMer created this track to match the energy of Chapter 1 of the “Fallout: Equestria” fanfic, and it beautifully captures the tension of the pivotal moments in that chapter. The song was composed without melodic elements and relies instead on variations in reverb, space, timbre, and the construction of the drum arrangement over a consistent bassline. This unique approach to song construction works wonderfully with the bits of dialogue from the FO:E radioplay, immersing the listener in a tense chase through a pulsing environment interspersed with alarms and broadcasted warnings. Whether you’re a fan of FO:E or just enjoy atmospheric, hoof-biting music (or both!), don’t miss this narratively engaging and creative D&B track!
Electronic
loopyy & Koa – Pull Over (Siren Song) [PSFMer Remix] | Jungle Terror
There have been a lot of remixes of loopyy and Koa’s siren-focused track courtesy of the remix competition they hosted recently, with all sorts of different interpretations of the original. Here PSFMer has done away entirely with the more melodic vocal parts and used the rap sections to create a killer jungle vibe driven by rhythmic percussion and chopped up brass sounds. It’s got a pretty fun SFM animation of Sonata Dusk to go along with it too!
Daniel Ingram – Hush Now Quiet Now (Japkozjad Remix) | House
If there ever was a most appropriate genre for a remix of Hush Now Quiet Now, this might be it! Japkozjad’s take on the season 1 song strikes a pleasant balance between uplifting and relaxing, going for that downtempo house vibe that you can really party soft to. Check out this melodic, bouncy remix whether you’re chilling out or just getting the party started!
loopyy & Koa – Pull Over (Siren Song) (SYLVVER Remix) | Big Room House
Back again with another sick remix of this bangin’ tune, this time from up-and-comer SYLVVER! Her massive leads and huge kicks bring a festival sound to the lineup, sure to get everyone on their feet! Get ready to jump, because these Big Room Bangers are here to stay!
Cosmic Fox – Our Legacy (feat. Soundnix) | Ambient/Melodic Dubstep
Cosmic Fox and Soundnix are an exceptional team when they work together, with multiple past examples of their combined quality. For Ponies At Dawn’s Aurora album, Soundnix provided some help to Cosmic once again as he created this lovely piece of two halves. The first has a beautiful ambient atmospheric feel before growing into some soaring melodic vibes during the second half, which also includes a little of the fresh colour bass vibes present in much of the modern bass music coming out lately.
Nyancat380 – Beyond the Eyeball | Uptempo / Jazz
Nyancat is always someone who brings surprises to the table! In this case they introduced me to a new genre I have never heard of before! Uptempo is certainly new for me, but it’s loads of fun! Nyancat perfectly combines the very different elements of Uptempo and Jazz to create fun melodies and fire drops in a way I just love!
loopyy & Koa – Pull Over (Siren Song) (FORSAKE Remix) | Progressive House
After the original track started off P@D: Oceansong with a bang, it was super exciting to hear that there were plans for a remix competition! The winners have already been announced with this total bop being named runner-up! With massive chord stacks and feel-good drops, this beast of a tune showcases the best FORSAKE has to offer (and there’s even more to come!) Keep your eyes peeled on loophoof’s Twitter to catch the full Remix EP when it drops!
Nicolas Dominique – Sonnenaufgang | Electronica
Nicolas has always been great at working ethereal and entrancing sounds and entrancing into his music, and this tune is no exception! The constant pulse of the drums and the bass anchor this song as bright arpeggios and synths dance over the top, creating a sense of both relaxation and suspense at the same time. This is the latest release from Nicolas’ upcoming album LANTERNS, which will offer even more chillout goodness, so keep an eye out for that!
Cynifree – Sunspot VIP (Depths) | Chill Hop
Always unique in his creations, Cynifree puts a deep, melancholy spin on a relatively recent track. With more focus on the watery atmosphere and a laid-back beat, it makes for a relaxing yet vibe-able journey that’s sure to keep you groovin’.
[P@D] Camelia – Yoake | Progressive Trance
Camelia’s production style lends itself excellently to uplifting music styles, and what could be more so than some classic progressive trance. Yoake, roughly translated as ‘dawn’ or ‘daybreak’ is an effervescent piece initially released on P@D’s Aurora album last year. With some classic synth stabs and arps right from the get go, this track is carried throughout by its excellent melodic composition, which has become a staple of Camelia’s impressive discography of late.
