Knew more for their wonderful experimental orchestral compositions, the French duo A Symphony of Two returns with a delightful and experimental IDM track that amazed me. Chilling and atmospheric IDM with Downtempo elements that stole my heart when I listen to the first drum beats. With vocals done by Blue Note (one of the elements of AST) that fit with the ambience and atmosphere of the instrumental with some really weird and experimental synths that really are the main thing in the song. The drums with the classical breakcore/IDM feeling that are slowed down for fit in the synth are well performed and really amazing. This song amazed me and it’s really atmospheric that I’ll use it while I’m studying for exams!
Original
Lovestruck Brony – Dun Dun Dun | Electro
This track from Lovestruck Brony, is a neuro/dubstep-style electro track featuring some strong percussion, lovely synth design and some groovy composition throughout, which are all signature to his style. It’s also features on the recently released Raganrok Vol. 1 from Magnus Records, yet another example of how terrific that collection of tunes is!
Sonic Hooves – First Flight | Orchestral
Sonic Hooves’ First Flight is symbolic of the greater journey he has been undertaking over the last year. The Seapony Orchestra was a project he started to organise in the middle of last year, and it finally came to fruition at the Southeast Asian convention SEAPonycon earlier this month with a truly wonderful performance. This piece was debuted there, and now it’s out for everybody to enjoy. There’s some really superb composition throughout, and it definitely comes across rather hopeful and uplifting.
Brilliant Venture – Moving On From Yesterday | House
Brilliant Venture has taken a break from his usual dubstep fare to make a more house-y tune that’s full of some absolutely fantastic use of vocal chops, among other strong synth design. It’s definitely cool to see him branching out, so make sure to support it!
[P@D] Jyc Row & WoodLore – Flamethrone Legacy (feat. Karen Warren) | Epic Orchestral
Jyc Row has released some pretty incredible collaborative works in the past, but this possibly tops the lot of them. An epic orchestral instrumental filled with many of the hallmarks of a classic Jyc masterpiece is supplemented by exceptionally strong vocals by WoodLore and Karen Warren. The lyrics work brilliantly at conveying the story of Princess Ember’s trials in convincing her father she is worthy to carry on his legacy as dragon lord.
[HMC] Budzy – Risen | Dubstep
Budzy’s wubs just keep getting heavier, with this perhaps being his most aggressive tune yet. An atmospheric build-up follows quickly into a drop full of long, drawn out powerful bass noises, before morphing into some other very cool wobbles.
Velvet R. Wings – New Hope (Remaster) | Harp Solo
Velvet R. Wings is one of my favorite singers and musician of the moment, her collaborations with his brother SDreamExplorerS are some of my favorite songs ever including Little Feather and Selena. But this time, it’s a bit different, here Velvet does an amazing Harp composition that is really atmospheric and warm, reminding me of some Traditional Japanese Music, the remaster done by SDreamExplorerS is very well made, the harp is very well performed, I love how Velvet gave emotions to this composition! You should really listen to this song, it’s really emotional!
Chris Wöhrer – Don’t Go Back | Technical Death Metal / Progressive Metal
Chris Wöhrer returns with a headbanging song about the Season 5 finale, with progressive guitar riffs, great usage of blast beats and a tremendous bass rifing and with wild guttural vocals!
Everything sounds amazingly good, one of the best tracks that Wöhrer produced, first we have the aggressive and headbanging part, the part that I really loved but then the things chill down and start a progressive and atmospheric guitar solo with a great bass use and then the vocals arrive again and the song become aggressive again! This path on the song is really well performed and planned. And I love Wöhrer gutturals, they are amazing!
MC-Arch & Agatan – Rise (Acoustic Version) | Hip Hop / Acoustic
MC-Arch’s Rise gets an acoustic remake done by Agatan and it sounds really awesome, the acoustic instrumentation is really well performed and I loved how it brings new life to the song, an atmospheric and warming song that makes me smiling!
The Dark Side – Loyalty | Melodic Dubstep
Guessing that my Brazilian friend The Dark Side is going to make an album or an EP with 6 tracks talking about the Main 6. Because first Dark released Magic, other headbanging Melodic Dubstep track!
An amazing Rainbow Dash anthem, The Dark Side deliver a lot of great wubs and leads that I must say that are really amazing! I love how Dark does the Dubstep, the drop is well build, the main shout in the drop and the minimal wubs mixed with the amazing melodies! I love it! The Dark Side is one of the musicians that needs more love!
