[P@D] Phoxi & VooDoo – Indolence | Future

DID SOMEONE SAY NEW PONIES AT DAWN ALBUM PREVIEW? That’s right, with the new P@D album Voyager coming up in a week’s time, Cider Party are bringing us some exclusive features on songs on the album before the release. First up is a future track from regular Phoxi and under-the-radar producer VooDoo, with a nice little shoutout to the promoter halfway through the track 😉

By the way, Voyager is available to pre-order for $1 or more, but upon release you can get it entirely for free!

Denz Xavier – Strangeville | Alt. Rock

Ahhh, it’s nice to hear to some riff-driven alt rock from Denz again. While the vocals and lyrics could still be improved, his tone of voice and the effects used on his guitars remind me of the band Kasabian (always a good thing in my books when my taste in music is stuck around 2010 xD).

Jyc Row – Land of Equestria | Orchestral

NB: This was originally posted on Equestria Daily on 1 October 2016.

It always surprises me how Jyc Row is able to so quickly and consistently put out such cool orchestral music, but it’s definitely not a bad thing! Here he’s released a piece that absolutely feels like it takes in the majesty and breadth of the ‘Land of Equestria’, with all his trademark signature sounds to it, as well as a very pretty-sounding arpeggiated bell sound throughout the middle of the track. Definitely check it out if you like powerful orchestral stuff!

Jastrian & FritzyBeat – Ghostie | Electro-Pop

You know it when incredible talents blend to create the perfect fusion, an alchemy resulting in something unique and stunning that is nothing short of magical. Known for an unique sensitivity to sounds and making emotional masterpieces, Jastrian teamed up with sparkling vocalist FritzyBeat who we don’t need to present anymore, to turn into reality a powerful story involving Pinkie and her character depth, and the concept of solitude that is by no way meant to be a bad thing. The result shines with beauty, force, and the power of positivity, along emotion-inducing synths, resonating piano notes, and masterful vocals.

PrinceWhateverer – A Place That We Call Home (feat. CookieSoupMusic) | Rock

PrinceWhateverer graces us with another release from the Reinvent album, less heavy this time, but still powerful and meaningful with a beloved and relatable theme, uplifting riffs and drums, top-notch lead guitar play, and beautiful vocals. Are We There Yet?

Ataraxia – Lightroom (feat. Str-igi-dae) | Electronic

Another utterly beautiful release, this new track from Ataraxia full of unique ideas is sublimated by Strigidae’s blissful vocals (for more from that singer in that vocal style, you could check out the recent cover of Out On My Own under the tomatotuesdays alias). Some wonderful Nature sounds are also featured along the tender and pure instrumental, and it is most certainly a much welcomed experience.

Pen – Suspended In Flight (feat. Cadie) | Orchestral House

It’s time for another fluffy moment in the soft embrace of Cadie‘s wonderful vocals, thanks to this new track from Pen that is definitely of much beauty. With deep lyrics from Wolfe, the song makes us soar for a new musical journey, and leads us through the dreamy melodies and orchestral accompaniments to often get us awestruck, suspended in flight.

PVNK – Horse Party (R3CTIFIER Remix) | Drumstep

The Cider Party is in full swing again, with R3ctifier‘s take on PVNK’s Horse Party not failing to uplift the room with an instrumental mellow and intense at the same time, and a brand new use of those vocal samples, making the track a quality experience of many sensations. Vinyl Scratch would approve!

Audio

Hydra – Stratosphere | Trance / House

Hydra is back with a much welcomed Trance / House hybrid, and it certainly delights with a spacey feel, wonderful melodic background synths, an entrancing rythm, and many wonders taking us to the Stratosphere! Music and ponies are unlimited!

GhostXb – Triumph at Last | Chiptune Rock

Cute song is cute. As stated in the video’s description, this is the very first song Ghost made as a ‘brony musician’. I’m impressed by his wide scope of his production, given that it ranges and changes from orchestral, to metal, and now seemingly some electronic-influenced stuff too! Definitely not a one trick pony (hahaha so original).
