DJT & Rusyd Rosman – Breathing Space + Jastrian Remix | House/Electro Pop

NB: Originally posted on EQD

Every so often something comes along that blows my mind with how professional-sounding and awesome it is, and this is one of those times! DJT has been one of the most consistently good producers of recent times, and he’s teamed up with exceptional vocalist Rusyd Rosman to make this incredible house banger that has a fantastic combination of strong melody, tight sound design and very well sung lyrics.

Jastrian returns to the spotlight with a remix of DJT’s recent house banger, Breathing Space. This is Jastrian’s first remix of a fandom song, and hopefully not the last if this is any indication of what he can do with them! Making excellent use of Rusyd’s vocals from the original, there’s a terrific combination of vocal chops, prominent basses, piano and pluck-y synths that help make this an awesome complementary version to the original.

Xavi – Moonstruck | Future House

NB: This was originally posted on EQD 1 April 2017

Who’s the sauciest pony of them all? I have no idea but surely Princess Luna is pretty high up there. Xavi is pretty accustomed to whipping up hot tunes and this one is no different, with some contemporary future house that bounces around with a combination of shuffling percussion and heavy pluck-style bass sounds.

Segments Of Life – Journey | Trancecore

My favorite track from Segments Of Life’s latest album Everything In Slow Motion, Journey not only manages to display the unique musical style and amazing genre fusioning that the musician is know for, but for me it also creates powerful emotions and especially during the part starting at 2:02. There’s just something in those melodies and sounds that is… something else. I highly recommend the rest of the album as well, literally every track is a gem! Always an amazing moment when Segments Of Life releases a new album.

Midnight Musician – Where Is Your Heaven Now (ertrii Remix) | Progressive House

Ertrii’s Progressive House is amazing, and it is with much delight that we’re getting the gifted musician’s take on Midnight Musician’s track Where Is Your Heaven Now. Sublimating the original vocals with a blissful instrumental of divine beauty, it takes the soul for a wonderful ride among sound-powered emotions.

Thyrai – Injuring Eternity | Progressive House

NB: This was originally posted on Equestria Daily on 27 March 2017.

Thyrai seems to be getting pretty great at upbeat house music, as shown by another excellent release here. Featuring solid percussion, a catchy chord progression and some nice lead synth sounds this is definitely one to jam to. There’s some great music box-style sounds  and some violin in the break, and overall it’s a pretty powerful piece.

Redstone Brony – Risen | Progressive House

While I do think the Redstone’s mixing needs work (perhaps the choice of kick too if I’m being picky), I’m loving the classic prog house style melodies and synths he’s constructed and used in this piece. Room for improvement often means an artist can only get better though, so they’re definitely one to watch for future releases.

Seventh Element – Sensational! | Acid House

Pony acid house? Pony acid house! I wasn’t expecting this either to be honest, but Seventh’s musical interest seems to span many, many genres. This song is part of his upcoming album, Ponies on Acid, filled with plenty more acid synths and 303 beats to meet your old-school production needs (Interior Design for Horses is a particular favourite of mine).

Metapony – Moonlight | Progressive House

There’s something truly special about Metapony’s Progressive House, and perhaps it is the wonderful Night feel that a lot of the tracks have, reminding of Night Trance and making for a lot of emotion. This new piece fittingly centered around Luna’s Moonlight certainly has that powerful vibe going and provides a blissful experience with a wonderful progression of warm synths, reflecting so well the comfort of the Night.

Dynamite Grizzly – Greater Dawn | Hard-Tech

Starting off with a rather holy sounding melodic vocal hook and jungle-style drum roll you’d expect this track to be a delicious foray into Drum & Bass. However, the track quickly opens up into a much more decadent mix of hardcore meets hard-tech. The further addition of Arabic inspired instruments and Heavy Rock guitars makes this track a very unique listening experience. The seemingly incompatible sounds work very well together making the track just as pleasant to listen to as it is uncommon.

Faulty – Be With You | Progressive House

Heartfelt songs are the best, and isn’t it wonderful when it holds a personal meaning too? Faulty’s first original track certainly shines bright from the power of passion and gratitude, and it is with a happy and meaningful Archie-like Progressive House vibe that many feelings are shared in an upbeat and positive way. Amazing both musically and in its message, Be With You makes you feel right at home in this wonderful community.
