The elusive Pony Killerz returns with a remix of Eniix‘s old tune Flutter Rage! Their version basically takes the original track and modernises it with clean production and dynamics while also using the original sample, that being Fluttershy raging in a different language. The powerful distorted bass really brings out those feelings you hear in her voice!

LaunchSix – Distance Between Us | House
Love is in bloom with the third track from LaunchSix’s Gravity EP. Distance Between Us shows a beautiful electronic atmosphere, the lovely major key pads and piano riffs behind heavy drums painting an image of the brighter sides of unideal situations, this one in particular being a long-distance relationship. Even those far apart can feel close as can be!
Maressey – Stretch Out and Wait/Reel Around the Fountain | Post-Punk
Tracks 8 and 9 from The TwiLuna Album are bundled together in this video from Maressey. Stretch Out and Wait is performed by Warbalist and is sung from Luna’s perspective, depicting a scenario where Twilight reflects on her relationship with Luna deeply, while the latter simply tells her to loosen up and enjoy the moment. Warbalist’s vocals capture Morrissey’s dreary singing style with flying colours. The next track, Reel Around The Fountain, is performed by project leader Freewave with vocals from Metal Mare. This one is from Twilight’s eyes, where she finally comes to terms with her love for Luna. Metal Mare’s vocals soar beautifully in front of the somber instrumental, lead by tight rhythm section and a clean guitar. These two tracks are a lovely pair!
Ocean Melody – March of the Tides | Lyre Solo
It’s always a treat when Ocean Melody uploads. March of the Tides is their second song based on the Background Pony fanfic, and like Darkness Sonata, it focuses just on the lyre to create a song. A lead melody plays over a soft arpeggio, sounding melancholic and brooding as it is said to be Lyra’s own spin on a song called Sunset Bolero. Short, but bittersweet.
Sonic Rainboom – Arcana | Progressive Trance
Comebacks? Comebacks. Arcana is Sonic Rainboom’s first track in nearly 2 years, and was it worth the wait? This is a progressive trance piece that features Twilight Sparkle’s vocals chopped up to create part of the melody along with the atmospheric and filtered synths. The end result is something that sounds like a trance track from the 2000s, much like BassPon3‘s discography. What a wonderful way to return to the fold!
[ASOS] Tw3Lv3 – Aimless Destination | Liquid Drum & Bass
Where are we going? Wherever the road takes us. Track 38 from A State of Sugar: Brownie is Aimless Destination, one of Tw3Lv3’s two appearances on the album. This one is super chill yet fast-paced, the drums and bass taking center stage while some soft and subdued (and reversed-sounding) synths add a nice atmosphere. Liquid DnB is one of those genres that truly have something special.
Mogul Dash – 5M1L3 (SMILE) | House
Let’s just keep this comeback streak going, shall we? 5M1L3 is Mogul Dash’s first full MLP-related release in well over 5 years! This crazy track utilises Pinkie’s vocals from the Smile Song and chops them up, creating a brand new, bass-heavy and bouncy instrumental! There’s a lot of wild sounds and chopped effects in this, especially towards the end, where Pinkie’s voice is left alone with the music. Welcome back, Mogul!
Direct Current – Blue Moon | Indietronica
Comebacks are abound in times like these. Direct Current has just put out Blue Moon, his first original track in almost a year. This one oozes pure cuteness from the processed vocals to the catchy electronic beat that accentuates the sweet tone. The lyrics tell a story of Starlight and Trixie’s cute relationship and how their love for each other keeps them together. Doesn’t that make your heart bounce?
[Helpie’s Corner] Tw3Lv3 – Dat Spooky Bats | Dubstep/Psytrance
Ready for some spooky yet early Nightmare Night vibes? Track 7 from the Helpie’s Corner compilation Other Side Of The Mirror is Dat Spooky Bats, one of Tw3Lv3’s two appearances on the album. The song uses samples from the appearance of Flutterbat on the show before the drops while a creepy synth melody plays throughout. Musically, the song mixes elements of psytrance and dubstep, with the drops containing heavy bouncy basslines and everything in between featuring dark synth pads that really add to the spooky atmosphere. We’ve still got a ways to go until Nightmare Night shows its face, but it sure feels like it’s looming over us already!
