Fresh from the new A State Of Sugar collective album Lollipop, Metapony delivers their classic house sound with what is still imo some of the cleanest mixing I’ve ever heard – and I’m not just talking about the fandom’s music! Apparently the first half of the track actually started as a remix of “Let The Sun Rise” by Morgsch and is meant to represent the day, while the second half of the track was made about Luna and is meant to depict a calm night. And so, with the balance of Sun and Moon, harmony is maintained in Equestria.
Original
The L-Train – Fashion Victim (feat. Elias Frost) | Industrial Metal
The sixth and last chapter of the “With Friends / About Friends” series, The L-Train here collaborates with Elias Frost for an amazing Rammstein-sounding tune about Rarity. The visuals were inspired from the last Rammstein album Liebe Ist Für Alle Da and Elias Frost’s vocals are so similar to Till Lindermann vocals, it’s really amazing! Imagine if Elias sung this tune in German? It would be a complete Neue Deutsche Härte piece! The industrial keyboard sounds, the guitar riffs, the drums and awesome vocals are on fire, just like the rest of the series! If you are into Rammstein, Oomph! or Eisbrecher you should really check out this song!
[P@D] Pony Music – Solitude | Melodic Dubstep
With his trademark vocal chopping and unique electronic sounds, Pony Music makes a triumphant return! The drums on this piece are simple but strong, with the kick in particular standing out. Awestriking melodies and their accompanying vocals lead us through ever higher levels of energies. Then Pony Music brings it all crashing down with a wonderfully melodic, very wubby drop. Emotional on a level rare for dubstep, this song is a genuine delight to listen to.
Vylet Pony – World Adrift | Synthpop
Another little gem from Mystic Acoustics, this track follow’s Vylet’s synthpop(?) style that resembles certain Porter Robinson tracks (I don’t think I ever got off the Worlds hype train tbh). Be sure to check it out if you like that style, and ICYMI, the entire album review is here.
[ASOS] Lorris – Another Way | Chillout
A potent brew of strong bassline, lovely melody, and astonishing vocal chopping marks Lorris’s contribution to ASOS. Sweet, joyous, and kind, Another Way brims with emotion. Compositionally, it’s a masterpiece as well, with soft, smooth sounds and a very oldschool bassline.
[ASOS] Nevermourn – Nighttime Aria | Drum & Bass
Coming from one of the hottest albums of this year: Lollipop by the A State of Sugar Crew, there’s this track done by one of the upcoming Drum N Bass pony musicians: Nevermourn. And I must say, that this track is absolute fire! The vocal chops, the piano, the drums and the synths are absolute chilling and amazing! Adding that to the amazing “liquid” feeling that the track gives and the well done mastering and mixing helps a lot this track for becoming a great tune of ASoS!
Buy or download Lollipop, and give support to the upcoming brony artists!
NightCrow – Path of the Warrior | Trance
Great trance track from another less-know artist – NightCrow. The track is pretty awesome and the elements of it, including the vocals on it are well performed, at the point. I simply love it, it’s uplifting and cheerful and it make me happy and it will make you happy if you listen. Inspiring and emotional track, you should really check out!
FlutterDash Records – Lend a Hoof | Pop
Something simple but sweet to end the day. FlutterDash records is a new duo from the Pacific Northwest just starting out writing and recording some of their own songs. While the production leaves something to be desired here, the songwriting and lyrics particularly stand out here. I guess in that sense it’s similar to how I’d describe Indie Notes‘ music – stripped back but nice, well-written songs. So here’s to hoping we see some more from these two in the future!
[P@D] DJT & ThatMusicBrony – Saviour / NeverLastStanding – Helios | Glitch Hop
The opening song for an album carries an immense responsibility, like the first sentence of a book: it has to hook the listener in and convince them to keep listening.
At this, Saviour excels. Right off the bat, DJT’s joyous melodies and wubs set the mood. ThatMusicBrony provides some truly amazing vocals. The lyris are waterlogged with emotions, and the effects (reverb and delay) on the vocals are unbelievable. All throughout, the sound design shines through brightly. What a way to kick off P@D!
And here’s some more traditional glitch hop from NeverLastStanding! With oldschool vocal chopping, complex sound, and a banging beat, this is an instant classic. It’s such a danceable tune, the kind that you hear and think “This is rave music right here.” But then, around 3:50, the song takes a sudden, unexpected, and delicious turn with very touching melodies. A total masterpiece all around!
TheMusicReborn – Magus Cantio | Vocal Orchestral
I love D&D, and wizard is probably my favorite class. So imagine my smile when I saw a song about Twilight Sparkle, described as a D&D wizard, on the queue. TheMusicReborn’s song didn’t live up to my expectations—it exceeded them in every regard! The vocals sound like an old story-song, and the lyrics describe Twily perfectly. It’s easy to imagine a wandering bard sharing the ancient tale of Twilight the Archmage around a flickering fire.
