One of the many graceful pieces from Amity, this remix of Silver Note’s Run sublimates its godly vocals in a Melodic Dubstep way along heavenly synths, a gentle yet strong beat, and very lovely melodies that evoke emotions so easily. Masterpiece of a remix!
Remix
[P@D] ThatMusicBrony – Among the Stars (Sky Runner Remix) | Drum & Bass
NB: This was originally posted on Equicity on 26 January 2017.
With her first releases dating back to November 2016, Sky Runner is a fairly new face to pony music. Nevertheless, her tracks made a significant impact in the drum & bass scene.
This remix retains many elements of the original song, including ThatMusicBrony’s signature vocals. However, the tempo change brings with it a shift in atmosphere, and the many melodies shine anew in a bright euphoric light, coupled with fast paced breakbeats. The result is an upbeat tune that wouldn’t seem out of place at any drum & bass party.
[P@D] bank pain – Empire Past (Hay Tea Remix) / Del Rom – Ignition (Hydra Remix) | Drum & Bass
Double post of remixes combining neurofunk and liquid woooo! There have been so many Empire Past remixes recently…and with good reason, the original is a tuuuuuune. This one from Hay Tea goes a lot more into neurofunk territory that his signature liquid style, sampling the original’s basses and slicing up drum beats on top of it. The addition of a half-time section later on with those reeses works a treat in my opinion
[P@D] Thrasher – Orbit (Brilliant Venture Remix) | Metalstep
Thrasher’s song Orbit from the last P@D album was already one of my favourites, Vylet’s vocal edit was great too. And we’re keeping that train of production rolling with Brilliant Venture’s Remix, which combines the awesome guitar riffs of the original with Brill’s (somewhat) newfound sound design skills. Two different paces too – full time breakbeat for the first drop and half time dubstep in the second – always a decent little switchup for any ~140bpm song.
[P@D] Spectra – Nebula (NeverLastStanding Remix) | Drum & Bass
Amity’s streak of emotional and heartfelt remixes is definitely an event to be remembered in pony music history, and this remix of Spectra’s Nebula by NeverLastStanding is one of my favorite examples. With an intro of untold purity that seems to bring out emotions with an outstanding ease, the deep nostalgia-infused remix then makes a lovely use of meaningful pony vocal chops, and brings out happy vibes evoking many aspects of being part of this wonderful community, with amazing melodies that reflect the remix’s underlying personal meaning so well. The surprising outro is also a delight, and doesn’t fail to bring even more emotion to the track right when we wouldn’t expect it. A masterpiece of a remix, and a shining token of the power of music, of Friendship, and of Passion.
L.M. – Eve (LutariFan Remix feat. Flittzy) | Electro Pop
NB: This was originally posted on Equestria Daily on 23 January 2017.
LutariFan has been a pretty quiet presence in recent times, but he’s still very much around and continuing to improve as a producer as shown here in spades! He’s taken L.M.’s beautiful track Eve and melded it into his own interesting style, as well as added some lyrics to the previously instrumental original. Flittzy’s singing helps to complement the instrumental, and overall this is just a really pretty track.
[P@D] Kadenza & Zero – Chaos / LutariFan – Advent (EnsionD Remix) [vs. Flittzy – Someday] | House
NB: This was originally posted on Equestria Daily on 19 January 2017.
If you want some happy sounding music, these are definitely worth checking out! First up is a new track from Kadenza in their classic melodic house style, this time teaming up with fellow musician Zero. With catchy melodies and some strong mixing this sounds both professional and highly enjoyable.
The second track is pretty interesting in that it’s a remix of multiple pieces, with EnsionD supplementing an instrumental remix of LutariFan’s Advent by including the vocals of Flittzy’s track Someday. It’s definitely not something I’d have thought of, but it works surprisingly well!
LutariFan – Aerobreak (Faulty Remix) | Progressive House
Graced by chirping birds and the spirits of the winds of Cloudsdale, Faulty makes their debut into the pony music scene with a lovely remix of Aerobreak from LutariFan, who is one of their biggest inspirations to start releasing music. Start your trip inside Cloudsdale now, flying among the uplifting melodies and gorgeous synths!
PonyChrome – Dash (Hay Tea Bootleg) | Drum & Bass
Hay Tea did it again! Get ready for new DnB greatness bringing back to the stage PonyChrome’s track Dash, and paying much tribute to it. This bootleg is making awesome use of the Chiptune core element from the original, turning it into a Chiptune-powered DnB musical bliss of much grace and nostalgia.
[P@D] Kadenza – Zen (#RoomVR Remix) | Liquid Drum & Bass
NB: This was originally posted on Equicity on 18 January 2017.
It ought to be noted that remixing a Kadenza track, some of which have previously been released on big non-pony labels such as NCS or Ninety9Lives, is no mean feat. And yet, those who are familiar with #RoomVR’s work—and I forgive those who aren’t, as his music was, up to this point, exclusively available on Soundcloud—will find their expectations to be wholly met by this track. This tune heavily relies on atmospheric chords and pluck melodies to carry itself, with a smooth sub and breakbeat that drives the song forward as a feeling of floating serenity settles in. As such, it certainly stays true to its title.
