Phoxi – Redolence | Tech House | Introducing: The HMC YouTube Channel

NB: This was originally posted on Equestria Daily on 7 January 2017.

Phoxi is at it again with an awesome new tech house track! Often one to dabble in outlandish sound design, Phoxi is also able to show off here an ability to create a track that can immerse the listener rather than barraging them.

This track was featured on the Horse Music Central Volume 2 album, and also acts as the first release for their new YouTube channel where they’ll be showing off awesome new horse music on a regular basis!

Mane In Green – Morning Walk | Chillout

Start off the day with this appropriately titled track from Mane In Green. It starts off with some nice ambient pads and bell sounds, before a somewhat eclectic drumkit kicks in with a soft, half-time beat. And the twist of orchestral instruments in a mostly electronic track do this some wonders too!

Complete with a music video made up of clips from the movie, this one’s full of the heavy wubs and minor chiptune influences common to Venture’s music , and complements the vocals pretty well.

NB: This was originally posted on Equestria Daily on 4 January 2017.

What a way to start off their year! Panic has teamed up with bank pain to produce one of the coolest dubstep tracks I’ve heard in this kind of style for quite some time in the fandom. The intro and the bridge are just professional as heck with beautiful vocal chops and the drops are full of some really neat sound design. Make sure to check this out if you’re at all interested in melodic music or dubstep!

Sarah P. – The Magic Inside (covering Daniel Ingram) | Indie Pop

A rather different style of cover now – something which might be a bit hit or miss but still probably worth sharing. The latest release on A Little Bit for Charity’s YouTube channel, this cover of The Magic Inside has a rather unique vocal style, with very gentle accompanying instruments and almost a Christmas music vibe to it, since it’s filled with lots of percussive bells. Check it out if that sounds like your kind of thing.
