Inbetween YouTube releases from the recent album Reimagined, Nicolas presents us a brand new original track that has the concept of Luna tearing the nightmare, escaping the darkness! More details in the description on YouTube! Nicolas definitely succeeded to bring the concept to life, with a rich experience of sound that would work well as an OST track for a scene depicting those events as well!
Trance
PinkiePieSwear – Flutter Wonder (UnderpΩny Remix) (Mal Universe Redux) |Uplifting Trance
It’s nice to see such an old face again in the fandom! UnderpΩny has released a redux of PinkiePieSwear’s classic “Flutter Wonder” with those nostalgic soothing pads and melodies of the original with a grooving, rolling progression. It’s a very welcome and long awaited send off, and its really nice seeing such a relaxing song remixed in a way to give it a newfound energy while staying true to the original form. An excellent uplifting vibe that hearkens back to the olden days, this one is a treasure!
GeekBrony – Era of Grogar | Trance
Using voice-clips from the season 9 villains, this Grogar themed track brings you some epic electronic trance music, with consistent energy and quickness throughout the whole thing! Not to mention that the Grogar theme definitely fits with the track’s music, with the voice-clips playing into that whole Grogar feel.
[ETC] PeKaNo – The Castle Grows | Tribecore
COREQUESTRIA‘s 20th track is quite possibly the album’s softest track, The Castle Grows! This is PeKaNo’s second attempt at tribecore (a form of free tekno), and a good one at that. This song has a fast-paced drum line and an uplifting synth melody, with a magical feeling permeating throughout the whole track thanks to the arpeggiated synth. Can’t get enough of this chill vibe!
Whirly Tail – Thinking Out Loud (Cynifree Remix) | Psytrance
(Listen to Whirly Tail’s Original Here )
Folks, there is no one in this fandom – in my opinion – that captures atmospheric and environmental melodies like Cynifree! He puts on a darker, menacing but exciting tone to Whirly Tail’s emotional and fun “Thinking Out Loud” which, in its own right (being a trance song), is moody. Cynifree takes the first half with this sort of aggressive and confrontational composure while keeping Whirly’s original tone and flow. It gives you the feeling of eyes watching you the whole time while moving. After this drop and severe mood swing with a crunch, the song then turns in a much more combative, sinister vibe, and my goodness it really gets the blood rushing, so well done! This is a genre called “Forest Psy”, and I want to hear more! As always, this Qilin asks you to judge for yourself.
Nicolas Dominique – Corrupted Mind | Trance
Going back to Trance roots, Nicolas makes us dive into the Corrupted Mind of Twilight who, like anypony, is vulnerable to overwhelming dark thoughts… She lost control of the power of darkness, and that state of mind is represented here through an array of intricate sounds and melodies, going deeper and deeper…
[P@D] GrazySmash – Damodaraya | PsyTrance
Ready for some psychedelic vibes? Track 17 from Ponies at Dawn: Ignite is Damodarya, a Psytrance song from GrazySmash, the first of his three submissions to the album. There’s an entrancing vocal sample that makes for the hook of the song, which takes influence from world music and Goa trance, a la the likes of Juno Reactor. Makes you really want to dance, doesn’t it?
[P@D] Hoofy – Shattered Gems VIP | Riddim/Psytrance
Hoofy is back with a heavy hitting VIP of their already great track, ‘Shattered Gems’! This one infuses the already dirty song with even filthier basses and gives off a hell of a lot of energy, especially by the time the second half rolls around, switching things up with an energetic psytrance twist that blends perfectly with the rest of the track. A stellar tune and it deserves its spot as a pre-release for Ponies At Dawn’s newest album: Ignite, which just so happens to be available now!
Evdog & AnimatronicPony – Dreammaker | Trance
After a year in the making, Evdog and AnimatronicPony‘s collaboration Dreammaker is finally here! All about dreams and hopes, this track showcases some emotional vocal deliveries from Evdog over a beautiful trance instrumental with beautiful pianos and choirs making the meat and potatoes of the song, and some show vocal chops to add the finishing touches. This song is a dream itself that I sure don’t wanna wake up from!
Perne – Hey Sweetie! | Trance
Perne returns with a new standalone track based around Sweetie Belle, and this one sure amps up the sweetness with the bouncy melodies. Hey Sweetie is a very fast yet beautiful trance song with heavenly choirs and memorable synth hooks. It’s like something straight out of the 90s or 2000s with all the stylistic sound choices, and I’ll sure call that a win in my book!
