The Spectacle never ends! Francis Vace enters the stage and performs a lovely and refined Ska cover of Rara’s hit under the Countess Coloratura name. Full of the musician’s signature musical style, the cover is also a wonderful playground to showcase the extent of his vocal talent, featuring incredibly sincere and strong vocals in more ways than one. The “two-thirds time” part near the end is very creative as well and contributes to the many wonders of this perfect cover. One More!

John Doe – Circle of Rockets | Orchestral
That gamechanger official figurine from Hasbro starring Trixie and Starlight riding a rocket will never stop inspiring the community! John Doe joins the game with a gorgeous and progressive Orchestral track depicting the scene and delightfully covering a melody that Final Fantasy 13 players will recognize for sure. Portraying the rocket launch and the friendship that those two share, to then perhaps depict the concept of space in the last ambient part of the song, its progression definitely tells a story!
Evgeniy Doctor – Royal Guard (feat. Brilliant Venture) | Trance
Emerging trance artist Evgeniy Doctor takes Brilliant Venture out of his comfort zone with this lovely trance tunes! With some old-school vibes, the atmosphere on this tune is wonderful and both artists really bring out the best in each other. The fills, synths, and leads from Evgeniy are gorgeous and Brilliant Venture’s beautiful Rarity vocal chops compliment the feel of the song amazingly. Not one to miss if you want to immerse yourself in pony for 7 minutes.
[ASOS] Vegá – Aether | Future Bass
Here we have a wonderful tune from the recent A State of Sugar Bubblegum album! Vegá does an excellent job conveying a deep and atmospheric piece and everything from the arpeggios to the glides and everything in between is melting pot and a real treat! Sit back, relax and enjoy this relaxing tune from above the clouds.
GhostXb – Still Here | Instrumental Hip-Hop
GhostXb is back at it with a sweet, chill out track! Still Here is a fun, laid back piece, utilizing a great fusion of different styles. The drums and synth bring a great, hip-hop beat as a foundation for smooth, delicious saxophone that keeps you movin’ along with the vibe. Great for when you need something to listen to or wanna dance while sitting in your chair, GhostXb did a fantastic job on this song!
Jyc Row – Chrysalis Boss Theme (Long Version) (Friendship is Epic) | Soundtrack
Rounding out the 7 tracks he made for the developing game Friendship is Epic, Jyc Row gives us the boss theme for the Chrysalis battle. From the first measure, you know this song is going to be amazing because the violin starts strong with an intense riff. You can really feel the epic action without ever having a controller in your hands! The drums give a great war-feel to the beat and the other strings do well to accentuate the action in the level. With his always top-level composition skills, Jyc Row orchestrates a big, adventurous soundtrack you won’t wanna miss!
[HMC] Intersekt – Conchorde | Drum & Bass
Another lovely release from Drumscape Library, this one featuring a tune from the Horse Music Central, Vol. 5 compilation! Seemingly paying tribute to the fandom DnB songs of old (Style and Speed anypony?), this has got to be one of the best feel-good pony Drum & Bass songs. With tasty breaks, uplifting chords and driving leads, cool experimentation with different basses and inventive Rainbow Dash vocal chops, this might even be my personal favorite tune from Intersekt!
Radiarc – That Spark | Orchestral
Another fantastic piece from one of the most prolific orchestral composers in the fandom! This time, Radiarc channels his inner Rainbow Dash and sets out to show his audience that, despite personal life setbacks, he’s still here and he’s still got the titular spark. This grand track features some post-rock-inspired bass and guitar, some killer saxophone, and Radiarc’s always-excellent string arrangements. Definitely yet another treat from Radiarc!
One Track Mind – All Okay | Glitch-Hop
One Track Mind’s venture into Glitch-Hop is as insane as it gets, with fast wubs, broken beats, and an incredible melodic focus that really makes this piece shine. A progression of many divine wonders, it is another token of the musician’s talent and creativity!
Daniel Ingram & Lena Hall – The Spectacle (Zizkil Remix) | Electro Pop
Shining Star Zizkil is back to blow us all away once again, this time with his first MLP song remix! And oh boy, does it deliver! Countess Coloratura’s hit The Spectacle gets a glorious remix crafted from Zizkil’s insane talent at sound design and benefitting from advanced vocal chopping that works so well in this Electro Pop context. Blasting the power of both Rara’s original vocals and a new Electro arrangement of many divine wonders, this masterpiece of a remix pushes the boundaries and sets a new standard. An absolute delight and feast for the soul, it will keep bringing fire to the party as you replay it! Mad props to Zizkil for crafting something so incredible!!
