“Something went very wrong here” Melancholy is thick in the air here and an unsettling mysterious melody takes us on a journey through a metropolis abandoned by civilization, yet, teeming with life. This piece will envelop you with emotion and intricate detail and will leave a lingering question in your mind. “Where did everything go wrong?”

Voltex Pixel – We are the One (feat. Princess Twilight Sparkle) | Melodic Dubstep
Now this is a breath of fresh air. Voltex Pixel brings the feel of something old but something new with “We are the One” gives us a taste of intricate melodic vocals from Twilight Sparkle chopped up and creatively spliced throughout the song as well as as some really nice piano melodies and saw chords that remind me of the days back in 2011 where EDM as a whole had that “signature” sound which still holds a special place in my heart. I see some great things coming from this artist in the future 🙂
Vylet Pony – Cataclysm (ft. Scraton) | Drumstep
Premiering their upcoming album Homeward, Vylet gives us one heck of a heavy hitter before it’s formally released on January 25th. Vylet and Scraton are no strangers to sound design and it shows in the opening seconds, and only gets better from there! Blending an atmospheric soundscape with complex synthesis there is a sense of urgency in the air and it is all leading up to something HUGE!
[ASOS] MrMehster – Holi (Festival of Colours) | Psytrance / Electro
From the recent A State of Sugar: Ice Cream album Mehster brings us “Holi” and a bright and vibrant festival of colours it is! Psytrance is always an interesting bout of fun and there is a healthy dose of variation that even pull from various genres throughout to truly bring out a festival like feel in the song. One thing I have to note especially are the vocals. They bring a sense of life into the fold and overall, this song has something for everyone! 🙂

[ASOS] Heartsong – Riding The Rails (Ice Cream Express) | Soundtrack
As part of the recently released album from A State of Sugar: Ice Cream, Heartsong gives us another one of their lovely story-esque orchestrations. As you may have guessed from the title, this song builds its world around the idea of the Friendship Express acting as the sole deliverer of the frozen desert as it goes about its busy schedule, starting and ending on a soothing music box melody as it arrives at its destinations. If I’m being truly honest here, the song will do a better job at conveying its world and story than I ever could through words. So what are you waiting for? Catch the train.
Eurobeat Brony – Luna (Knife Pony Remix) | Big Room House
Coming back after more than a year, Knife Pony brings us their take on a classic! Bigroom has always had an infamous reputation but this remix has an excellent groove and vibe to it, and a sprinkling of future bounce vibes here and there add to the atmosphere and bring out a side to ‘Luna’ I wouldn’t have expected but most certainly am glad to have heard!
Radiarc – Here we are | Chillout / Hybrid Orchestral
“And here we’ll be, until life brings us elsewhere.”
Polishing up this elegant and laid back piece, Radiarc gives us a soothing perspective of life through song. I’ve always been amazed at what comes from this artist, the fine details and atmosphere painted; melding together ethnic, jazz, orchestral, and electronic elements to create something organic, alive. I find myself lost and thinking back on the hardships faced in life up until this point. Yet I’m still here. We’re still here. Through joy, through sadness, reminiscence, and hope we carry on. As our stories continue, just beyond the horizon.
[P@D] Hay Tea & Faulty – Chasing Sunlight | Liquid Drum & Bass
Coming at you with a fast and tense piece; Hay Tea and Faulty bring us ‘Chasing Sunlight’ from Ponies at Dawn: Enigma and its a very good piece to get the adrenaline going while keeping a smooth flavour all around and makes wonderful use of sampling and instrumentation to give off that old-school DnB vibe. If you’re looking for something carries a lot of tension and suspense, this is the track for you!
[P@D] ILLUMNATION – Good Night | Dark Folk
Folk music is something that I don’t often see from the fandom, but its always something to cherish when it surfaces. ‘Good Night’ evokes a haunting melancholic mood and tells a tale of the two sisters, from Luna’s perspective as she waits out her isolation on the moon. Its a very soothing piece with Velvet R. Wings‘ signature vocals and some stellar and crisp instrumentation and if you have the time, you should really lend them your ear.
This track is available as part of Ponies at Dawn Enigma!
[P@D] bank pain, Tripon & Progressive Element – Ghost In The Dream VIP | Drum & Bass
Here we go again! The original ‘Ghost In The Dream‘ was an amazing collaboration I fell in love with and now as of the recent P@D: Enigma album, we have a stunnning variation of the original. Opening with the aggressive energy from the original, things start shifting and morphing and giving the original a new light and is a great nod to the original. The addition at the climax was something I wasn’t expecting but man, does it ever give it a nice chilling epilogue.
I dream
