Sound Bandit – The Ride (TCB Remix) | Trap / Future Bass

Sitting somewhere between genres that I can’t quite classify, we have a new remix from TCB! This take on a track from Sound Bandit’s recent debut album keeps some of the hyperpop flavor of the original but showcases TCB’s signature hard-hitting, ultramodern production style. Check it out for a short but sweet fusion of bouncy bass sounds.

Childlike Wonder – Sparkle (I Eat Books) | Indie Pop / Future Bass

Well, I certainly didn’t expect this great of a pop song to ever come across my ears, but here we are! We start out immediately thrown into the fun, upbeat pop beat and soon Childlike Wonder’s amazing vocals set in, neither of the two parts really take single center stage, which for this song fits really well as there is nothing in focus but there’s a harmony of all elements during the lyrical sections. When the lyrics go quiet is when you can really appreciate how much the instrumental can stand on its own. With a guitar joining the pop beat, we also get a good taste of future bass vibes later in the track too. The drop/chorus is a wonderful combination of the fun upbeat pop sounds together with fire rock elements, which makes for a great track overall!

Loopyy & Koa – Siren Song (Khaliber Remix) | Colour Bass / Future Bass

There’s been a lot of great remixes of Siren Song as of late and this is no exception! Opening with some very snappy vocal chops over a catchy trap beat, things only get more energetic during the drop! Pumping out some heavy colour bass vibes while still knowing when to bring everything back. This song ebbs and flows with great tension and release with a neat balance between future bass and colour bass and I am here for it!

Violin Melody – Sisters (Original Mix) | Future House

In light of the many fandom tracks conveying Celestia and Luna as rivals, it is refreshing to see Violin Melody presenting them as loving siblings in her appropriately titled piece, “Sisters”. This is exactly the kind of subject matter one could expect Violin Melody, founder of ASOS, to focus on, and she does so with this lovely composition. The melodies are powerful yet sweet, with these gentle chimes mixed in – like them being there for each other. The drops show a bit of mystical energy and power, just like alicorn magic. The beat has its ups and downs, just like any siblings have with each other. These elements tell the love and closeness these two share: a sisterly love that is strong through thick and thin. This track is a pure banger, just like when it’s go time between them! As always, this Qilin asks you to judge for yourself.

Koa & loopyy – Siren Song (Valoria Remix) | Future Bounce

After releasing the shorter radio edit, Valoria has dropped the original, full-length version of their remix for Pull Over (Siren Song), showing off a special brand of future bounce! The track features a quick beat and introduces fun, robotic effects to ease us into the vocals. This combination works well for a fantastic build supporting a beautiful vocal harmony. In addition to a top-tier drop, the second loop of the track continually introduces new elements and sections! Between Koa’s awesome vocals, different beat changes, ever-evolving vocal chops, the extended track time, unexpected twists, and upbeat fun, Valoria makes sure this remix is never boring and always a top tier hit!

Alan Schmuckler – Danger, Danger (Pagan Pegasus Remix) | Future House

Today we’ve got ourselves a newcomer to the brony music scene! Pagan Pegasus brings us this amazing remix of the MLP: A New Generation movie song “Danger, Danger”, and, sweet Celestia, it’s awesome, so let’s gets straight into it! We start straight into the EDM vibes with a crash joining the lyrics, but in the beginning Pagan Pegasus still keeps mostly to the original rock instrumental, which is a welcome bit of variety when you compare it to other remixes. The build up in this song is also refreshingly simple–we just get a little vocal loop and an audible cue for “stuff’s about to go down”. And then we get to the drop! I love the drop–it’s unapologetic Future House fun and works perfectly with Alan Schmuckler’s amazing vocals. We then get a background beat after we get out of the drop, but we can still hear the original instrumental shining through. This is something you don’t see very often, and it really works well to make this remix stand out. Next we come to my favourite part of this remix–we get a classical build up, then the build up does a fake out and brings us not into the drop but instead out of EDM territory and into the clap rhythm of the original, and then we get the drop. To quickly talk about the build up to the drop–there isn’t any! We get the “My name’s Rob” line and then just jump straight into the drop, which is a gamble strategically because it might not always work, but Pagan Pegasus pulls it off expertly! This amazing second drop is where we end this wonderful masterpiece!

Daniel Ingram – What More Is Out There (Pagan Pegasus Remix) | Future Bass

I’m always happy when a Daniel Ingram song gets remix love, so I am delighted to be able to introduce you to this tune! Pagan Pegasus has taken the original’s pensive acoustic arrangement and given it an awesome twist. Shifting the song to a lower key, pitching down the vocals, replacing the gentle acoustic guitar lead with an electric guitar, and backing it with an electric bass gives the song a killer alternative vibe. The future bass arrangement then joins in, and we’re merrily on our way through the first verse. But why make future bass if you’re not going to throw in a sick drop? Exactly. The drop is indeed of the sickness, flowing nicely from the build up, but my favorite part is what I’m going to call the “poneiano” synth that percolates to the fore of the arrangement in the build up and then takes center stage in the drop (backed by tasty bass). It’s like that kid’s cat piano toy that “meows” all the notes, but beefed up and matched to the remix vocals (and obviously not meowing… Okay, you know you’d buy a piano that was Twilight’s head with keys for teeth. I cannot be alone on this). Also, the background art is fantastic and was drawn by the artist themself! Much love for that and for this fantastic musical effort!

Synthis – Floating | Future Pop / Chillout

Ever felt like you’re in a void – hovering uneasily in the clouds, separated from a world below that you can’t quite see or reach?  You’ve no idea where you’re going or, even worse, if you’re heading anywhere at all.  These emotions are familiar to me, and, apparently, I’m not the only one.  Sam Synthis, one of the most talented singer/songwriters in the fandom, has skillfully captured this caught-in-the-clouds feeling with his latest release, “Floating.”   Powerful lyrics highlight the reality we humans face as we all struggle to make sense of the world we live in and bring it under some semblance of our own control – a goal that inevitably eludes us and often leaves us feeling “empty and broken,” with “loose ends” scattered around the seams of our lives along with the realization that we’re all “floating towards forever.”  Such deep reflections might lend themselves to dark or heavy musical rendering, but Synthis’ smooth vocals combined with a chill melody and instrumentation carry hope and positivity, making the lyrical message reflective and relatable rather than dark and heavy.  I ended up feeling that although we sometimes find ourselves in a “Ground Hog Day” that never seems to end, though we sometimes feel empty and broken, we’re not alone in this.  There’s not something wrong with us.  It’s part of the human experience.  And maybe it causes us to stop looking so much at the clouds around us or the world below us for answers.  I, for one, have learned to look up.

Sofia Carson – Glowin’ Up (Valoria Remix) | Future House

Valoria is back to flipping! Here she brings us a wonderful Future House remix of a song that doesn’t quite get the love it deserves. The track starts with just the vocals and a bit of background beat that slowly builds up until we get to the actual build up. The build up plays with the melody a lot, something I haven’t seen much but certainly enjoyed. The drop–oh, the drop is absolutely wonderful! I’ve talked a lot about different drops in different genres in my articles, and I can confidently say that this is the greatest Future House drop I have ever heard! The melody is amazing and fits perfectly with the vocals, the vocal chops are utilized beautifully, and a second beat is added that gets you hyped, jumping, and just partying! The drop ends abruptly, and we get back into a simpler beat while letting the vocals shine through some more before going straight back into the build up and another iteration of the wonderful drop. We end this fantastic track on just the drop’s secondary beat.

Vanessa Hudgens – Gonna Be My Day (Childlike Wonder Remix) | Future Bass / Future Pop

It’s another G5 remix, and this time we have a wonderful track by Childlike Wonder! The track starts out right away with this lovely beat that pulls you right into the cheery atmosphere of the song. Then, as the vocals set in, we get an awesome melody that supports them really well. As we enter the build up, the vocals of Vanessa Hudgens are joined by the stunning voice of Childlike Wonder himself! Said build up is also supported by some vocal chops that really spice up the mix, and it’s mostly driven by the vocals similarly to the original song. The drop consists of two main parts: the first part showcases a perfect combination of Future Bass and Future Pop thanks to a beautiful instrumental section, while the second part combines the instrumental with more wonderful vocals by both Ms. Hudgens and Childlike Wonder. For the “Aaaaah”, which made the original really memorable, we actually don’t get much of a beat, which is a really fitting variation for the song. Right after that the beat comes back in full swing for another build up and a slightly different drop, which again works with some vocals from Childlike Wonder himself. We end this wonderful piece on a soothing piano melody.
