Marking his debut on the channel, AJ Young is next up in our collection of P@D preview exclusives on Cider Party. The buildups in this contain fantastic uplifting melodies and they then transition into the drop seemingly out of nowhere, yet it works brilliantly. Less than 48 hours to go until the P@D: Voyager album release stream begins now, we hope to see you there!
Original
A Symphony Of Two – Unite | Orchestral
NB: This was originally posted on Equestria Daily on 5 October 2016.
A Symphony Of Two return with another orchestral track. This one starts softly, and builds in both emotion and strength as it goes. This is evident both in the drum programming and the string use. A solemn break in the middle makes way for a more uplifting second half, in a track that flows very smoothly. Definitely worth checking out.
Wind Wolf – Adventure Ahead! | Orchestral
Feels like forever since I last saw anything from Wind Wolf, and since I last saw any pony video game related music. I don’t know whether or not Adventure of the Lunarbolts is still in the works, but if this is the kind of music being inspired by / made for it, I hope that something’s still being developped. Go take a listen for RPG-style orchestral…if that’s a thing.
D3LTA – Leaving Alone | Melodic Dubstep
Little bit of melodic dubstep stuff to finish off the day. D3LTA’s managed to make use of softer sounds in this one, along with some vocal splicing to fill in the gaps and create additional melodies.
Totalspark & AnimatronicPony – Oceans of Sky | Chillout
Collaboration time! This song made by both Totalspark and AnimatronicPony is really something to admire. The soft, melodic synth sounds layered with strings sound great, and the drums make a good addition without turning the track into something overly heavy.
Crystarium – Doing Just Fine | Future
Crystarium seems to be doing a lot of future music as of late, not that I’m complaining of course! Catch this latest piece from him with his own vocals to add a bit more of a personal flair to the song.
ApostropheShy – Smile | Happy Hardcore
I only see happy hardcore songs every now and again, but it’s always a pleasure when one pops up in my sub feed. This song from ApostropheShy seems to be a little bit more than just a remix, with extensive reworking of the vocals; and the changes in beat pattern allow for a nice variation too.
Direct Current – Migration EP | Electronic
I do find it rather impressive how Direct Current is able to put out an actual themed EP every couple of months or so. His latest one, Migration, puts the focus on pegasi, which I suppose look like swans when standing in water, so album art kinda fits…right? Regardless, full writeup after the beak break as per usual.
[P@D] GROskAr & NextLevelDerp – Horseing Around | UK Hardcore
ARE YOU READY TO GO HARDCORE? Time for another feature from the upcoming Ponies At Dawn album, Voyager, and a track from two excellent producers from the heavier side of the electronic music scene. Combine GROskAr’s affinity for heavy growls and NLD’s experience making hardcore and you get this madness, with an apt title too!
4everfreebrony – Bound With Time | Pop-Rock
Our inbox seems to have been full of 4everfreebrony recently (hint hint, more to come). Here’s a new song from him touching on the topic of Twilight and immortality, similar to Stay, his first song released since his return home. Those two are also due to be featured on an album he’s working on, so that’s definitely something to look forward to!
