Jyc Row – To Cloudsdale! | Orchestral

NB: This was originally posted on Equestria Daily on 5 December 2016.

Jyc Row is back again with a new orchestral track, and this is certainly one of his more uplifting ones! With a strong happy vibe to it, pushed mostly by the bright strings throughout the track, it also features his trademark strong percussive influence and some celtic flavour towards the end that still manages to fit in quite well. Drawing inspiration from the artwork above, it’s easy to hear the influence shine through as Jyc takes us on a trip to cloudsdale.

tomato.tuesdays – -243°F (Luna) | Electro-Pop

A short but cute (and kinda funky) song for Luna from tomato-tuesdays. I’m not exactly sure  what to label this, but it has a similar feel to some tropical house songs, with a slightly downtempo beat with great percussion and some lovely plucked bass sounds. Oh and the name is pretty clever too, read the description on the video if you’re curious what it means.

FruityFusion – Snow Glider | Drum & Bass

Hot on the heels of the last HMC album release, Fruity is planning another one, seemingly featuring this one as an exclusive, and serving as a preview for what’s yet to come. Smooth dnb with a wintery theme – perfect for a December evening.

Soul Strings – Life In Our Town (covering Rossiboys) | Metal

I remember when the original version of this came out around a year ago or so. Now Soul Strings has taken Rossiboys’ original and turned it from an indie/alt rock anthem into a heavier metal-sounding track, with great results! All picked up by ear, and the solo has even been modified to fit the heavier feel of this version.

Injustrial – Sounds of War | Industrial

NB: This was originally posted on Equestria Daily on 2 December 2016.

The first proper pony track from Injustrial in quite a few months, Sounds Of War features all the trademarks of his gritty industrial style. A mixture of heavy synth design and harsh vocals, along with a pretty consistent bassline, this piece definitely captures the essence of the artwork utilised. I always look forward to new Injustrial releases, as this style of music is quite a rarity in the fandom so it definitely sticks out a lot more.

Modern Bard – Vintage Era | Electronic

Well well well, this is definitely something outside of the norm! I’ve enjoyed some of Modern Bard’s other electronic works, including his Awakening submission, and it’s great to see him make something so unique. This track is similar to the sounds of electronic pioneers from the 70s and 80s, specifically Jean-Michel Jarre who served as major inspiration for the soundscape of it. Definitely worth taking a listen to.

BlueBrony – Swagger Trot | House

I was going to say that this is something “different” for BlueBrony, but to be honest, every single song he uploads is different – I never know what to expect. Anyway, have this little fun track he made, which I shall categorise as ‘miscellaneous house’  in celebration of reaching 100 subscribers.

Eniix – PWNYS | Electro House

Fiesta! Ahaha, I think it’s radical whenever producers sample their local dubs on tracks as it’s a great reminder that this truly is an international community. Super fun tune here from Eniix driven by a pumping beat, playful basslines, and vocals that are definitively Pinkie Pie regardless of the language. If you’d love to hear more tracks like this, remember to leave a comment on the track 😀
