Vylet – Angershy | Hardstyle

NB: This was originally posted on Equestria Daily on 9 January 2017.

Something a bit different here from Vylet. A pretty solid electro build-up leads into a pretty heavy hardstyle drop dominated by a powerful hardstyle kick. With some voices provided by Cadie to help flesh it out and a very nice break section filled with some orchestral strings, this track manages to convey the extremes of Fluttershy’s personality pretty effectively!

Ataraxia – Austrila 2017 | Piano / Orchestral

NB: This was originally posted on Equestria Daily on 8 January 2017.

A re-imagining of the first track released under this alias, Austrila 2017 is another beautiful example of how well Ataraxia can implement piano into a track as the main component. Whilst it starts off as mostly just being a beautifully composed piano piece, it bursts to life halfway through with some other orchestral elements and pounding percussion. Make sure to check it out below for a pretty yet powerful track!

Rusty Thorsell – The Strangers With The Windy Flutes | …

This may or may not be your cup of tea, but we’ll post it anyway. Rusty’s been getting creative again – now making sounds out of…well, quite literally nothing. Take a look at the description if you want to learn a bit more about how he made this track, otherwise enjoy this metallic-sounding…thing. I have no idea what genre this is.

Haardtek – Memories | Trance

Now there’s a name I haven’t seen in a while! Haardtek is back, being repped on A State of Sugar with his new song Memories. While the track is trance throughout the most part of its 8 minute duration, there’s a nice little garage-beat-style breakdown in there that creates a nice variation. Definitely one to check out for classic trance fans!

[P@D] R3CTIFIER & Phoxi – overwrite_deity | Neurofunk

NB: This was originally posted on Equestria Daily on 11 January 2017.

R3CTIFIER and Phoxi are two of the best in the fandom at innovative sound design, so it’s pretty awesome to see them combine forces! This neurofunk track features some powerful percussive elements that dominate the first drop, whilst there’s some great neuro sound design that takes over a bit more in the latter part of the track.

Phoxi – Redolence | Tech House | Introducing: The HMC YouTube Channel

NB: This was originally posted on Equestria Daily on 7 January 2017.

Phoxi is at it again with an awesome new tech house track! Often one to dabble in outlandish sound design, Phoxi is also able to show off here an ability to create a track that can immerse the listener rather than barraging them.

This track was featured on the Horse Music Central Volume 2 album, and also acts as the first release for their new YouTube channel where they’ll be showing off awesome new horse music on a regular basis!

Mane In Green – Morning Walk | Chillout

Start off the day with this appropriately titled track from Mane In Green. It starts off with some nice ambient pads and bell sounds, before a somewhat eclectic drumkit kicks in with a soft, half-time beat. And the twist of orchestral instruments in a mostly electronic track do this some wonders too!

Vahts – Fancy Mathmatics | Synthwave / Trap

Help someone let Francis use of them electronic music thingamajigs…

… and the result is actually alright, surprisingly catchy too. Check it out for something a bit different and experimental from our otherwise rock-orientated friend.
