Time is running out. Lukas Vokrinek’s latest track paints a vivid picture of a situation that demands urgency. The orchestral sounds go through a handful of phases in quick bursts, ultimately building up to a deceptive cadence represented by a faint piano chord. Songs like this are truly powerful.

Kallo Skull – Land of Ember | Soundtrack
Stepping into the Dragon Lands is a dangerous expedition. Land of Ember is a dark and intimidating orchestral piece that takes influence from Indian music with the inclusion of a sitar alongside the familiar orchestral elements, giving it the vibe that you’re really walking through a hot, rocky land where beneath you sits a massive magma pool. That low rumbling percussion is especially menacing…
VocallegraEnby – Stay Here Forever | Electropop
Something quick and sugary for the fandom. Stay Here Forever features the vocal talents of the Vocaloid Avanna who sings about how the fandom has impacted our lives (or you could interpret it as the mane 6 singing about how they’ve left their mark on Equestria) with a lovely melody and soothing electronic backing. Songs about our fandom never cease to be a joy to the ear!
DAϟH and Nyancat380 – Ketamine | Splittercore
The clash of the fandom’s heavy EDM stars DAϟH and Nyancat380 has just burst onto the scene. Ketamine sets out to commit aural assault in a brutal yet pleasurable manner with its incredibly harsh synths and distorted drums and vocal samples. While we don’t recommend you stock up on ket, we do recommend you listen to this song and let it make you go wild!
Daniel Ingram – The Magic of Friendship Grows (Proto_ssin Remix) | Melodic Dubstep
The remixes for this song will never stop coming out, and I hope it stays that way. Starting off with some soft strings with the original vocals, we’re subject to some vocal chops before building up to a powerful drop that keeps the powerful and uplifting melody while staying heavy. Gotta love the atmosphere created by the reverb on the vocals. Heavy, melodic and emotional? You bet.
BVYANX – WUB (TheHappyPony Remix) | Dubstep
TheHappyPony takes us to the wub zone with this remix of WUB by BVYANX! Their take on the original keeps things heavy with the brutal bass drops and even vocal samples that sound like they were pulled from the show! Brings back those 2012 memories, doesn’t it?
Branrich VanIster – A Diamond At Sea | Soundtrack
A Diamond at Sea is pure serenity. Showcasing Branrich’s familiar jazzy style, the song sets out to depict a scenario of Rarity showing off her graceful beauty on a boat. Nothing gets in the way of her lovely looks. Although the video doesn’t showcase the beautiful art that inspired the song, it’s still a lovely sight to sea. I’ll be here all week.
Ponytronic – Yet, You Don’t Care | Chillout
Ponytronic is on a roll. Yet, You Don’t Care is a trippy and cathartic track featuring rapid synth sounds and cute vocal sounds in front of a chill drum track. This track’s happy demeanour is more of a mask in front of its true meaning: going through the trauma of past love as the dark feelings slowly begin to take over. I’m sure we’ve all gone through something like this before. As Ponytronic requests, if you’ve got anyone you care about in your life, cherish them, especially in these trying times.
UndreamedPanic – Miss You | House
UndreamedPanic returns with his first original of the year. While it was sadly rejected from the upcoming Ponies at Dawn compilation, he’s released it for us after giving it a good cleanup! Miss You is a lovely and glitzy house track with lovely vocal chops and synths that fit the absolute definition of ear candy. The song even takes on a chiptune influence, especially in the middle where we’re subjected to an amazing 8-bit styled solo before jumping right back into the bouncy sweetness. What a banger!
Evdog & AnimatronicPony – Dreammaker | Trance
After a year in the making, Evdog and AnimatronicPony‘s collaboration Dreammaker is finally here! All about dreams and hopes, this track showcases some emotional vocal deliveries from Evdog over a beautiful trance instrumental with beautiful pianos and choirs making the meat and potatoes of the song, and some show vocal chops to add the finishing touches. This song is a dream itself that I sure don’t wanna wake up from!
