An amazing and heartfelt tribute to the events of the S6 finale and to Chrysalis, this new release from Hay Tea unleashes all the musical talent of the DnB master into a deep, sad yet beautiful piece that displays the power of feelings toward our beloved characters, and of Passion. Piano, strings, original progression, on-point beat and an unexplainable magical power all give to this piece the distinct feel and emotion it conveys.
Original
Crystal Slave – Omniphobia Mk. II (feat. Budzy) | Electronic
NB: The original video was deleted, the above is an archive re-upload.
Crystal Slave gives a new spin to his Omniphobia track for this year’s Nightmare Night, gathering the help of Budzy for extra Dubstep greatness. Eerie and dark as you could wish, this song is also of much beauty, featuring the amazing and renowned vocals from Crystal Slave, now with an extra dark twist. For more songs of this kind, I highly recommend checking out Crystal’s older songs on his channel!
4EverfreeBrony, TrojanPony & Metajoker – Carry On | Acoustic Pop
NB: This was originally posted on Equestria Daily on 22 October 2016.
4EverfreeBrony has brought on the feels in collaboration with lyricism from TrojanPony, and some beautiful piano work from Metajoker with this new wonderful piece of music. The instrumental is quite minimal, yet doesn’t feel empty at all, especially when that really nice flute sound comes in. The vocals and piano are the heroes of the track though, and both are performed perfectly. If you’re up for a moving track about Twilight losing her treehouse, make sure to check it out!
Filly In The Box – Manehattan Nights | Neurofunk
Filly in the Box’s streak of awesome tunes continues, as a track themed around Manehattan’s nightlife appears. Enthralling and appealing just like a dark back alley in Manehattan leading to an underground live bar would, the track provides a dark yet blissful experience among the sick wubs, the amazing melodies, the intriguing genre, and the mysterious vibe surrounding it, drawing us to a beautiful unknown.
Totalspark – What Once Was (feat. Itchigotchi) | Chillstep
Emotional music master Totalspark went all-out with this new release, gathering the vocal talents of Itchigotchi and contributing to a most wonderful duet with his own vocals as well. Deep piano melodies and powerful strings fill the incredible instrumental with much emotion, as it gets sublimated by beautiful vocals from both singers.
[P@D] Suskii -Take Flight | Melodic Dubstep
NB: This was originally posted on Equestria Daily on 23 October 2016.
Suskii returns with an original track, that takes a much more melodic tone than some of their earlier features. With a really nice arpeggiated melody and powerful chords building up to a heavy melodic drop interspersed with some heavy dubstep sounds, this track is pretty great. I especially like the strong vocal-sounding growl. Definitely worth a listen if you want some awesome melodic dubstep!
[P@D] Frozen Night – Through An Infinite Dreamscape | Orchestral
NB: This was originally posted on Equestria Daily on 17 October 2016.
With such a bold track title, one would expect something pretty epic in scope, and here Frozen Night delivers upon that promise with a beautifully building orchestral track that first envelops the listener, before bringing in the strings, drums and other elements to really paint an engrossing picture. The way this piece builds and flows is really well done in my opinion, and it’s definitely worth a listen if you like epic-style orchestral works!
Saintz – Aphotic | Deep House
Everypony go give mighty cheers to Saintz for their first musical upload on their YouTube channel, and it sure is starting with a bang! This faith-imbued Deep House track definitely have a “holy” ring to it, with beautiful bells, heavenly chorus-like synths, and an original progression. Follow the artist for more greatness!
[P@D] Reverbrony – Strut It | Metal
NB: This was originally posted on Equestria Daily on 24 October 2016.
Bringing on the heaviness, Reverbrony is back with a powerful metal track that comes in hard right away. What I like most about this track though are those lead guitar melodies that add a bit more structure to the track, and are definitely the most memorable part to it. If you want some powerful metal to psyche you up, make sure to check it out!
[P@D] Jastrian – Flutterscape / ExplodingPonyToast – Grey Horizon (ft. Itchigotchi) | Chillout
In his own words, Jastrian describes this song as “Flutterbound V2”, Flutterbound being one of his slightly older and one of his better known songs. And it certainly follows the same vibe, and even makes use of very similar vocal samples, albeit all at a slower pace.
The release of Voyager marked roughly a year since one of Ponies At Dawn’s previous iterations, Starlit Flames, from which this song sort of originates. EPT has taken samples from Morgsch and Itchigotchi’s Let The Sun Rise in order to make this chilled piece that has a noticeably darker, or at least more eerie feel than the original. And the artwork used certainly suggests that too!
