One of my favorite releases from Skelter, this Night track has beautiful melodic sections that are empowered by a deep and tasty bass. The song overall has that chill aspect of the Night, and it’s so very much appreciated too. Another powerful new release!

Totalspark – Solaris Imperium | Drumstep
Totalspark’s new release delivers a stunning progression and powerful melodic parts that just feel divine to me. Epic, uplifting, and deeply emotional if you give it the proper ear, Solaris Imperium is a masterpiece of emotion and a Drumstep like none other, tinted with Totalspark’s unique vision and talent. Let us partake in this emotion together and hail Sunset’s musical arrival, shimmering with beauty!
[P@D] Replacer – Handbag (Progressive Element Remix) | Drum & Bass
The upload series on the brand new Ponies At Dawn Youtube channel, with which the team sought to finally bring the last remaining tracks from the Amity album to the pony fandom’s favourite music platform, has now been concluded—and the beast that is Progressive Element’s remix of Handbag has been released.
With infusions from all across the DnB subgenre pallet, this track features everything from glitchy half-time percussion and fat reeses to fleeting piano melodies and tonal snares. Prog enhances the eerie atmosphere of the original with well-chosen reverbs and vocal effects and tops it off with ghostly pitch-bending leads.
As with all other tracks released through Ponies At Dawn, this remix is available for free download on their Bandcamp page.

SDreamExplorerS, also known as SoulStrings, continues his magnificent streak with the second track of his new album, Erasing the Enigma: “The First Alicorn” is a dramatic MeloDeath choon that explores deep historical headcanons and will certainly pump you up. Massively energetic riffs and vocals, backed by SDES’ ever improving production, will provide the one of the finest metal experiences in the fandom thus far. This track is currently available for pre-order on Soul’s bandcamp page!
[P@D] Homage McGee – Disco Girl (Waifu Avenue & kissmenerdygirl Remix) | Future Funk
Straight from Ponies At Dawn – Amity album, Waifu Avenue and kissmenerdygirl bring us this smooth and groovy remix of Homage‘s original, Disco Girl! This track feels really awesome. Funky, housy, groovy… It really gives that nice oldschool feel. The sampling work with vocals is really good as well!
Mane In Green – The Journey | Epic Soundtrack
Brace yourselves for this everypony!! Mane In Green truly outdid himself with this one long progressive track infused with a story and delivering a variety of genres to create an epic musical Journey. It has many different instrumental parts reflecting perfectly each part of the story, with fitting instruments and rythm, and telling the story that’s written in the description so well. Over its breathtaking progression, the track will blow you away with epic melodies, guitar riffs, and fusions of genres all around, with Orchestral, Metal, Folk, and even Electronic all finding a share. Overall, The Journey is a masterpiece of story-driven, OST-like music, as well as a token of Mane In Green’s wonderful talent and vision, that will, I’m sure, continue to delight us in the future. I’m getting teary-eyed while relistening to the track and writing this, and I can’t thank Mane In Green enough for his magnificent work and how accurately it blissfully feels like Soundtrack. Long live OST, music, and Passion!
Hay Tea & Ponytronic – Kratia II | Liquid Drumstep
The musical styles of Hay Tea and Ponytronic definitely create such unique and tasteful musical experiences every time they blend together in one way or another! Following Ponytronic’s first remix of Hay Tea’s Kratia, this new take brings an updated musical view on Starlight, and a renewed progression of emotional synths and enthralling atmospheres. A mighty tribute to our beloved Starlight, and anthem to cheer her name loud and wide, embraced by the tender emotions from the music!
LuRhythmic – Awoken (Covering Glaze & H8_Seed) | Piano Solo / Jazz
Now here’s something that I love to see and that is so very lovely. With expert hands, LuRhythmic did a Piano improv using chords from the famous Awoken by Glaze aka WoodenToaster and H8_Seed, resulting in a blissful Jazz-y track that would fit so well as a BGM in some chill night bar. Also check out the Piano improv of Nightmare Night, the Bebop Jazz cover of Bats, and the Big Band Jazz cover of Rainbow Factory! They are all awesome and rare gems!
Ponytronic – Times Like These (Hay Tea Edit) | Liquid Drum & Bass
An Edit filled with much emotion, Hay Tea‘s take on Ponytronic’s story-infused Times Like These is a magnificent reenactment of the feelings at play in a Liquid Drum & Bass format that conveys much depth. Dramatic yet beautiful piano, emotional strings melodies in the background, a beat that’s clean as water, faint cries, and the original dialog from the characters, all make this Edit quite a unique and powerful new original experience that cuts through the soul.
eksoka – Dance In The Garden | Dream House / Trance
A powerful new release from Eksoka through A State of Sugar, this track brings pure beauty and intense emotion, from a dreamy atmosphere, emotional Trance influences, and amazing and gorgeous vocals that will take you by surprise.
