To honor the emotion from Awakening and more particularly the incredible Eve from LucienMusique, our dear ExplodingPonyToast brought to life a remix full of subtle emotional callbacks to the original, yet also creating a brand new emotional journey of sound among the chill vibes and Future influences. The last part is in my opinion the emotional pinnacle of the remix, and doesn’t fail to make me teary-eyed again as I’m writing this and relistening to it. A torrent of masterful and passionate melodies paying much tribute to the melodies of the original, and a perfect alchemy of sounds resulting in powerful magic!
Remix
[P@D] Morgsch – Let The Sun Rise (feat. Itchigotchi) (Sonic Rainboom Remix) | Experimental Pop
Another remix of a track featuring Itchigotchi’s beautiful vocals, this time it’s Sonic Rainboom’s turn to show some Amity with this definitely much original and inspired remix. With an unusual spin we don’t see so often, it manages to create a refreshing instrumental and vibe conveying much love and making awesome use of the vocals.
Totalspark – What Once Was (feat. Itchigotchi) (Spectra Remix) | Melodic Dubstep
Melodic Dubstep has always been my weakness ever since the Omnipony days, and it has been quite rare since then, but our beloved Spectra had the amazing idea of sublimating What Once Was with the mighty power and emotion of the genre, and it sure achieved its targets! Heavenly synths, melodic drops of untold emotion, and beautiful breaks of divine purity, are all parts of what makes this remix special to me. An amazing job, and tribute to both the original track and the genre!
[P@D] bank pain – Empire Past (UndreamedPanic Remix) | Bass House
Another of the amazing Empire Past remixes made out of Amity, this one from UndreamedPanic displays much inspiration and reaches out to something different, and that’s when some of the best magic happens! Full of inventive ideas, the piece is unleashing a unique groove and giving callbacks to the original track at the same time! A perfect and impressive remix!
[P@D] ExplodingPonyToast, ThatMusicBrony & LutariFan – Start Again (Filly in the Box Remix) | Electronic
The remixes of Start Again seem to keep on coming… Here’s one by Filly in the Box that takes a sorta midtempo approach with harsh saws and the like in the drop.
Horse Music Hotspot – January 2017
Hey, so, sorry we weren’t able to let you know about this in advance of the live airing, but we have a new timeslot for the Horse Music Hotspot. It’ll still air on the last Sunday of each month, but at 9pm UTC (4pm EST) instead of 10pm EST – perhaps a much more accessible time of day for most of you.
New Year, new Ponies at Dawn album (yes, already!), from which we feature a few tracks this month, but with plenty of other music from various artists too! Now with seemingly more dnb than ever before, and some fantastic collaborations and remixes.
To listen in live, tune in to Ponyville FM at 4PM Eastern on the last Sunday of each month!
Tracklist and embeds available after the break
[P@D] LutariFan – Where The Heart Is (Replacer Remix) | Piano / Orchestral
The much beloved ending track from Voyager, Where The Heart Is by LutariFan, gets an utterly beautiful and creative remix in Amity, as Replacer poured his passion into crafting this heterogeneous track full of many wonders. A wonderful tribute to the original, it takes inspiration from the original melodies to then build a complex and progressive piece that displays much talent and feelings, and that doesn’t fail to be emotional as well.
Filly in the Box – Windigo (Einarx Remix) | Dubstep
A recent favorite of mine, this outstanding remix from Einarx displays inventive techniques and doesn’t fail to impress in both sound design and composition. Building on Filly in the Box‘s melodies and signature sound, the remix creates a distinct new mood and impresses with a seamless flow of sick sounds that is just insane. These ponies are crazy. Crazy good.
[P@D] bank pain – Empire Past (PVNK Remix) | Dubstep
Bank Pain‘s Empire Past has inspired just as much as it has delighted it seems, and this resulting streak of remixes certainly is a feast. This one is especially crazy, much fitting to how crazy good the original is, and PVNK aka Phoxi displays all his incredible talent at sound design and unique song structures, with this outstanding remix that is so good and inventive that it’s scary.
[P@D] Einarx – Blastershy (Ryazan Remix) | Hardcore
This amazing remix from Ryazan out of Amity takes the original Dubstep track from Einarx into a more Hardcore spin, and the result is nothing short of impressive. A relentless onslaught of beats and bass, and a lead synth melody that is a favorite of mine, all give to the remix the qualities of an all-time banger.
