Ertrii’s insane talent, or should I say magic for creating masterpieces of sound continues to amaze, and this new release is quite special as it is Ertrii’s take on a much special genre, Trance. Having myself been introduced to the emotion that Trance tracks have, I couldn’t be happier as this new Adventure delights and moves the soul in pure Trance fashion along emotion-inducing synths and breaks of divine beauty. This whole track is a perfect alchemy, with a result that is beyond words.
Audios
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.
Ataraxia & Intersekt – Viridescent ft. Ink Sparks | Electronic
This new song from Ataraxia sees him collaborate with Intersekt and Ink Sparks to produce this wonderfully cinematic piece combining many electronica influences with orchestral elements. And what a voice Ink Sparks brings to this piece too, this is the first song I’ve heard that features her, and hopefully far from the last!
This track is part of an upcoming album from Ataraxia, entitled eternal perfect motion. Still in the works, it’s due to be released next month, and is available to pre-order on Bandcamp (with a tracklist that’s subject to change).
[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!
[P@D] Night Crow & Thrasher – Back To Ourselves | Trancecore
Well this was a pleasant surprise. Night Crow and Thrasher last teamed up on last year’s Awakening from the Ponies At Dawn collective, and now they’re back together again for Amity. Here, synths meet guitar once again, with beats and arps reminiscent of (what I remember off the top of my head of) early 00s trance.
Ponytronic – Repose | Trance
It’s trance, but not necessarily as you know it. Here, Ponytronic seems to blend a couple of different styles of the genre – on one side it’s got the uptempo beat of uplifting trance, but also the chill and melodic elements of the kind of music I remember from artists such as SoaringFlight. Overall, a good combination, check it out trance fam!
Nicolas Dominique – The Last Shelter | Chillout
A much welcomed album release, The Last Shelter features rare tracks from the harbinger of Positive Electronic music we know as Nicolas Dominique, and this title track embodies the vision from Nemo2D’s ePONYmous artwork in a powerful musical way. With a deep, sci-fi tone portraying the magical world depicted, and positive waves flowing beautifully over the course of the track, The Last Shelter seems to tell a story and the outcome is both epic and comforting.
[P@D] Totalspark & Sonitus – Embrace | Chillout / Synthwave
I’ve noticed a trend in Totalspark’s recent tracks to play around with interesting chord patterns, and the progression in this does something that I always love in music. Sparky explains it himself in the video description, but it essentially resolves to a major chord at times when it’s in a minor scale. And I haven’t even got started on the arps, the lead, and the vocoded vocals, there’s just so many great layers of sound in this track that all mesh together brilliantly!
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.
