NEW MUSICIAN ALERT! HARMONY BOP’s debut track, “Time to Let Go”, tells the tale of Princess Luna reflecting on her actions after being on the moon for so long. It opens with the sound of a gnarly guitar and is joined by Harmony’s excellent vocals. The middle gets heavier and breaks out of meter into a really cool solo section with some other instruments coming in, then jumps into a faster, swing-like section, before returning to its triumphant final chorus. Fantastic work, and I can’t wait to hear what Harmony Bop cooks up next.

Dropper Vampire and Sylvver – With Me | Big Room House
Dropper Vampire and Sylvver’s recent collaboration is a house banger full of energy and life! The song contrasts sections that feature bouncy synths and basses with ones filled with lush and warm pads. There’s tons of subtle sounds in there too which add lots of texture like an acoustic guitar and soaring synth arpeggios sprinkled in. The vocals are to die for—they’re so soft and gorgeous, melting right into the synths! All you EDM fans should check it out.
Velvet R. Wings – Disillusion | Chillout / Folk
Velvet R. Wing’s “Disillusion” is a haunting tune. Velvet’s gorgeous vocals carry the song, starting with just a hum that turns into a wistful verse about loss, changing times, and the need to move on and “fly away.” Her voice is met with the poignant sound of the harp, crisp percussion, and a few synths here and there, all reverberates though a massive space. The overall sound is eerie and transcendental, capturing the tone of the lyrics beautifully. It’s sooo nice!
PrinceWhateverer – [CODE PHANTOM] (Destabilize Pt.4a) | Metal
PrinceWhateverer’s latest release is a raging tune about every pony’s favorite fake filly, Sweetie Bot! The track begins with bouncy chiptune arpeggios before devolving into the heavier guitars and drums. Throughout, you’ll hear lyrics filled with tons of programmer lingo intermixed with the sounds of warning alarms, breaking out occasionally into unique sections that contain glitches galore or incredible piano flourishes! It’s an incredibly energetic tune that you definitely don’t want to miss!
rawrity – need to go home ft. SOUND BANDIT | Pop
rawrity’s back with the latest installment in a series of tracks about their OC looking for and meeting Pinkie Pie! “need to go home” nails that bittersweet sound with its chord progression and several moments where the instrumental drops out, leaving us with just reverb, the echo of a moment passed. The pony chops in the background are a delight, the lyrics make great use of imagery, and SOUND BANDIT’s vocals always bring in some extra hyperpop energy. Great work you two!
MelodyBrony – S.O.V.E.R.E.I.G.N (Feat. PrinceWhateverer, Blackened Blue & Talknet) | Metal
Melody Brony’s latest release is a Chrysalis inspired track which throws just as much punch as when she invaded Canterlot back in season 2! Featuring the talents of PrinceWhateverer and Blackened Blue, the trio really throw down into heavy metal territory, with insane guitar riffs, thrashing drums, and a powerful chorus. The track also makes excellent use of sirens, both at the beginning to introduce the track, but also sprinkled throughout the arrangement and into a hardcore screaming section in the middle. Hopefully we’ll get to see a live crowd mosh to this banger someday!
Pit Crew – Flower, the Dumb Robot | Indie Pop
After seeing LFØ’s brilliant video, “This is Flower, The Dumb Robot Pony”, Chuckles did what any adoring fan would: write a song about her literally the next day! With a simplistic, but bouncy beat, this one is sure to bring a smile to your face. Chuckles’ lyrics are an absolute gem with multiple sections where four words rhyme in quick succession and brilliant pairs like ‘off’ and ‘Asimov’ (the creator of the 3 laws of robotics for those not in the know). There’s plenty where those came from, so make sure you listen to this one all the way through!
Frozen Night – Dragon of Time (Piano Version) | Piano Sonata
Sometimes I forget that amazing music comes in all shapes and sizes, but Frozen Night’s piano version of “Dragon of Time” proves just how much can be accomplished with a single instrument. The composition begins slow, with its regretful and lonely melody reverberating before picking up speed, weaving together gorgeous arpeggios over the thunderous strike of the lower notes, only to return to its former melancholy at the end. The dynamic contrast between sections is incredible, and the piece will keep you on the edge of your seat to the very end!
EveryDayDashie – PonyGPT | DnB / Drumstep
EveryDayDashie’s new track imagines a world where Equestria is not peace, but in a state of conflict due to the rise of AI. It takes off from the start with a very fast bass line forming a dark groove before going all in with a hardcore section full of jarring synths and scratches! Between the conflicting passages, the piece opens up with smooth choral-like passages before another synth picks ups the pace and drags the listener back into the fray. If you’re looking for a sinister and fiery sound, make sure to check this one out!
Anamore – Invisible (Covering Daniel Ingram) | Electronic Rock
A few weeks ago, Anamore dropped this fantastic cover of a lesser known song from the EQG universe, “Invisible,” and she’s turned it into a rousing anthem! It’s a fusion of many styles and genres with its electric guitar and bass, lively rock drums, bouncy synths, subtle strings, and even some scratching thrown in on the low end and glitchy sounds in the beginning. Her vocals are simultaneously soft and crisp, and her performance is spot on! The song’s subject is one I think many of us have related to at one point or another, so thanks for putting in all the effort to make such a lovely cover ❤
