Been a while since we’ve heard from Feryl DeMarco, hasn’t it? She’s back with her first track of the year as well as track 16 from the freshly released ASOS: Brownie, Alterworlds! True to its name, the song feels like the soundtrack to an alternate dimension, or a dimension hopping trip. Feryl’s signature electronic style absolutely shines through on this track, particularly the percussion and erratic synth sounds. Just another amazing addition to her discography as well as something to remember from the album!

LuckyDragon – To The Sky | Synthwave
For those of you not in the PMV know, LuckyDragon once went by the name TheLightLeavesThee and is best known for making PMVs, but he also makes music, such as The Power of a Queen under the name Hero Pony! His newest song, To The Sky, is an emotional synthwave piece that revolves around Scootaloo and Rainbow Dash. The lyrics have an innocent quality to them, with Scootaloo looking up to her mentor and wanting to fly with her once more, for old time’s sake. The backing music matches this emotional scenario as well as Lucky’s processed and soft voice. Gotta hand it to this guy for making something so beautiful!
Branrich VanIster – Bacon and The Siren | Jazz/Lounge
Branrich VanIster returns with more unique instrumental music. Bacon and The Siren is a slow, jazzy piece that sounds like it could’ve come out of the 80s. Throughout the song, the sound of vinyl noise can be heard while the song is primarily lead by a piano and saxophone which are said to represent Sunset Shimmer and Adagio Dazzle, respectively. I can just imagine myself sitting back in a living room with the curtains closed and candles lit, and having the two by my side with this one!
SCRATON – Gemshard (Generosity) | Future Bass
NOTE: This post was written by both Blackened and Drake.
I got to hand it to SCRATON for his 5th track of mane six tributes. I don’t think a song has captured Rarity’s personality as well as this one has before! Right off the bat, this song hits you with a generous dose of classy style, starting off with a brief samba-inspired section before jumping into SCRATON’s usual electronic flair. Like the element of generosity herself, this song gives off an aura of beautiful showmanship and funk which honestly fits her character super well. The beat switches it up to where you can picture Rarity having a wonderfully good time dancing it up with fabulous style, but then we’re thrust into another change; an absolutely gorgeous drop with vocal samples that feel like they were meant for Rarity. Overall, this song does well to capture Rarity’s personality, even without words. Time for a party at the Carousel Boutique!
Yellow Tune – You And Me | Hardstyle
Happy (very late) Hearts and Hooves day! To celebrate the occasion, here’s a track, free of charge. Yellow Tune’s gifted us a hardstyle song called You And Me, using Cadence and Shining Armor as loving imagery. With the inclusion of lovely female vocals, this is an atmospheric yet bouncy track, feeling like a dancehall that suddenly jumps up in energy! The hardstyle drops are juxtaposed between “softer” Eurobeat-esque synth sections so full of passion with the vocals about one person loves the other before jumping into the heavy drops. Sounds like a lot of love was poured into this one!
Knife Pony – Stay (Light Assassin Remix) | Synthstep
80s synthpop meets 2010s dubstep in this fantastic remix of Knife Pony‘s Stay by Light Assassin. This take on the original is faster and blends synthwave and dubstep with Feather‘s vocal track, including a drop that perfectly combines the two genres. The most beautiful part is the breakdown after the drop with rain sounds and soft arpeggiated synths as Feather sings. It’s a nice change of pace from the original, and certainly refreshing to hear Feather’s voice again. If only she’d come back!
John Doe – Broom | Soundtrack
The music for Pony Town keeps on coming. This is currently the BGM heard in the game’s houses, but may soon be repurposed for a potential building mode. It’s a solo piano piece that consists of soft chords at a steady tempo, making it feel homely as can be. Just got home from a long day? This’ll make you feel better!
Nicolas Dominique – The Galaxy Made Of Dreams | Ambient
A trip inside Luna’s mind… The Galaxy Made From Dreams is an ambient piece from Nicolas’ upcoming album Dreamshaper, which will feature more ambient tracks like this. This song showcases 80s style synths with more modern gated synths and pads. Behind it all is a faint kick drum which fits perfectly with the bass and creates a sense of security. The song serves as a beautiful soundtrack for a journey through the mind. Can’t wait for the album!
Koron Korak – Pony Daki Addict | DarkSynth
In honor of our very own Makenshi’s 30th birthday, Koron Korak has released a song dedicated to him! Pony Daki Addict is an industrial rock/synthwave piece that features plenty of orchestral elements and samples of Twilight along with it! The driving synth sounds like a distorted guitar which definitely helps with the industrial edge this song brings. What better gift could you think of than music?
SCRATON – Powerhorse (Honesty) | Future Bass
NOTE: This was written by DrakeEmberHeart in conjunction with Blackened.
SCRATON is back again with the 4th track of this series of tunes themed to the the mane 6! Welcome to Honesty. Centred around Applejack, Powerhorse is fitting name for this track, seeing as she’s Equestria’s strongest earth pony. This song does something different with her character. The melody and beats seem to celebrate Applejack’s spirit, utilising an upbeat melody that is fitting of AJ’s strength and hard work. But there is something else. The soft female vocals which are a common theme in these tracks almost seem like Rarity sang them, particularly when “oh darling, please don’t go” pops up in the middle; reminding Applejack to not work so hard, to relax and come with her. The production is fantastic on how good and powerful this song’s honesty is.
