After long period of writer’s block and a time of producing non-pony music, FruityFusion returns with this amazing track (and other two, Going For A Fly and DEADPON3)! SPELL_FAIL is really a mechanical and industrial feeling track, with robotic synths, synthetic feeling drums and catchy melodies. Also, the sampling work is pretty well done! FruityFusion did a great job on this track, the bassline and synthline, and the IDM-style drums, it’s all great. Keep up the good work!
Original
Filly in the Box – Then Come Ice | Dubstep
Filly in the Box brings us this wonderful chilled out song featuring this wonderful winter theme. The intro has this really cool atmosphere to it and a really interesting synth lead. The drops are full of wonderful glitchy sound design and I really like the small changes that happen in the second drop. If you’re up for some fairly unique music this is one to check out.
[P@D] MrMehster – Stand Back (feat. N. Hollow) | Funk / Glitch-Hop
An amazing collaboration between the producer MrMehster and the rapper N.Hollow for the amazing compilation album P@D: Anthology!
The bass and the funky vibes are on it! MrMehster knows how to create a good track and N.Hollow’s flow, rap and lyrics are really on point, I love every piece of it! The drops are really on point with the awesome vocal shout done by N.Hollow and the references are in every single part of the lyrics! I really love it!
People… download already Anthology, okay? It’s on bandcamp for you, just do it, don’t let your dreams be dreams! See what you made me do? I needed to use old memes for convince you to download it! Ah! If you are rich buy it!
TempestShadow – Tribute to Snowdrop | Orchestral
It was only a matter of time before someone named themselves after a movie character, so here’s an original piece from newcomer TempestShadow dedicated to the beloved fanon character Snowdrop. Slow-moving, sweeping string chords are led by a solo flute and choral vocals which interchange and carry the melody throughout the song.
Lorris – Power Notes | Chillout
A simple little piece from Lorris here. It’s not overly complex (and Lorris admittedly only spent a few hours on it), but the combination of piano and strings, both sweeping and spiccato is always nice to hear.
Suskii & DJT – Spooky Ghost Buggos | Dubstep
The folks over at Magnus Records have done it again, with a colab track from Suskii and DJT. “Spooky Ghost Buggos” is solid from start to finish, with fantastic production and some really great piano work on the break. Sampling moments from “Sleepless in Ponyville”, Suskii and DJT capture the spooky night little Scootaloo had, and add their own flavor to it. This track is a treat for those of us who already miss Nightmare Night! 👻 Be sure to grab a download of the track from Magnus Records while you are at it!
Rarity Advocate – Princess Luna Suite | Orchestral Electronic
NB: This was originally posted on Equestria Daily on 9 November 2017.
After the epic symphony that was Rarity Advocate’s last release, they’re back with a slightly less ambitious but no less awesome piece with Luna as the centrepiece. Some subtle electronic vibes quickly make way for some soaring strings and occasional pulsing bass vibes, and overall this has quite a sombre tone to it, before it gets more uplifting towards the end, perhaps signalling a redemption.
MC-Arch – I Am Alive (Music Video) | Rap / Hip-Hop
We had this song featured as part of Arch’s mixtape of the same name back in July, but while he was out at Nightmare Nights this October, he shot a music video for this song with the help of EJP3films and Step 2 Harmony! Music videos aren’t common at all in the fandom music scene, especially not live action ones, so this is really exciting to see! I could definitely get used to more things like this.
Totalspark – Emergence VIP (ft. UndreamedPanic) | Drum & Bass
The original version of Emergence was a house(ish) track from nearly 3 years ago. Not only has Totalspark been constantly improving since then, but this VIP completely reworks the song into a full-on rock-infused (shoutout to Panic on guitar) DnB/Drumstep banger! I’m loving the chords too, I’m a sucker for all those [bIII], [bVI] and [bVII] chords. Great job Sparky!
FruityFusion – Going for a fly | Chillout / Synthwave
Editor’s note: Today we have a motivational speech by our writer Arch…oh and a song writeup too!
Going for a fly is always a useful and wise move to make when you’re in a very stressed situation. I myself can relate to this and find this track a very nice one to transition into a peaceful mindset, but of course one with motivation and determination. The feeling of needing to go out sometimes can be intense, but sometimes also necessary. You can either let it all eat you up from the inside with all your doubts and worries taking the best out of you, or you can use that energy to make a difference and prove you CAN do it. REGARDLESS of what others say and think of you! It’s always the same routine and it might hurt at first but justice will ALWAYS have the final laugh! Because first they laugh at you, then they ignore you, then they fight you, and then you win. So go for that fly, don’t let ANTYHING stop you and simply just break the norm. Don’t do it however to prove them wrong, do it to prove yourself right. Your time is now… (So cya on P@D guys :P) As Fruity describes in his description that he needed to leave for various reasons, I welcome him back with open arms. The guy makes awesome music and deserves some love and recognition for that. So people, you know what to do. 😉 ❤
