Year: 2019
Dizzy Inmotion – The Duel (feat. ForeverFreest) | Hip-Hop
The continuation to Dizzy’s story revolving around EQG Rainbow Rocks is here, and it unveils more of the many wonders that the concept album will have! Featuring ForeverFreest as Trixie and art by Niko, The Duel enacts another “battle of the words” between Sunset and Trixie, right before Sunset’s performance… Which is actually released now, check out The Sunset Shimmer Show! Also guess who’s the certain siren that Sunset met as well on her way to the stage… Adagio (Skit)!
Spikey Wikey – Ragga Muffin | Drum & Bass / Reggae
What happens when you blend DnB with Reggae influences, and then add Derpy to the mix? Unpredictable musical wonders! With only the finest musical tastes, Spikey Wikey delivers in style with this piece from the recently released Party’s Over that’s infused with our community pony mascot… And we are happy to hear her, even if she seems to be causing trouble again! I just don’t know what went wrong!
Whirlwind – In the mind of a Killer | Dark Ambient / Drone
Musical experiments in the dark must be so fun! Our awesome drummer friend Whirlwind gave it a try and golly, that is such an intense atmosphere! And along with those faded vocal samples, it really is spooky. Not to mention that only-slightly disturbing cover art! A very successful experiment for sure!
Rarity Advocate – Blossomforth | Soft Rock
After their piece about Rarity, Rarity Advocate’s back with another tribute to the background pony Blossomforth, and this one is much different! This track is a rather stripped down number, consisting of a guitar and bass, plus what sounds like a melodic bell. A clean guitar riff reminiscent of a midwest emo song from the 90s is the most prominent element and carries the song right up to the end. Ponies like Blossomforth need more love!
Valesi – Winter Village | Piano Solo
It seems more and more fandom musicians have been returning from long breaks these days. This time it’s Valesi, who’s just uploaded a soft piano track inspired by an Equestrian winter. Their first upload in three years as well as their first MLP-related track since 2015 (!!!), it comprises of a solo piano that cycles through a handful of motifs that all seem to give off the feeling of walking through a cold, yet homely path. It’s amazing what you can do with just a piano to carry a tune.
Koa – Broken Wings (PonyFireStone Remix) | Dubstep
PonyFireStone has returned to the pony music scene with this brilliant remix of Koa‘s Broken Wings, their first MLP related track in 3 years. This track starts out with intense dark ambient synths before slowly kicking into the meat and potatoes of the song; Koa’s amazing voice alongside a newer and heavier instrumental with elements of drum n’ bass and dubstep. The colours give us life, and so does this song!
Zaphirom Rashir – Twi’s Dream | Downtempo
This song has a lot of synth, some keyboard, and a little bit of drum that all work together to make an excellent and relaxing piece of music. It’s not too fast, not too slow, and is definitely filled with emotion and passion.
FrøstFyre – Insanity | Complextro
This is an EDM of fully diverse Insanity is as I like to say. An earful to take in from FrøstFyre. I guess that’s logical. Given this tune is supposed to embody the inside of Bookhorse’s complex mind. You will travel to every part of her brain with this maze of this very cool and unique musical composure. It’s fast, it’s wacky, it’s different. As always, This Qilin asks you to judge for yourself. And try not to freak out like our adorkable Alicorn.
Bitl, Choruscation & Heartsong – Rising Dawn | Album | Orchestral
In the memory of Stormfall Drizzle, Bitl, Choruscation and Heartsong crafted heartfelt tributes in the way of deep and meaningful Orchestral beauties. The very emotional Stormfall’s Lullaby, Nimbus acting like a perfect requiem, the progressive and melodic masterpiece Stormfall from Heartsong that incidentally yet fittingly calls back to the melody from Skyrim’s main theme, and the collab Sisters Forever that includes quotes of great life advice from Stormfall, are all paying much tribute to our late friend and showing once more the big heart of our community. The album is available on Bandcamp here! Also check out the B-Sides!
