I always love seeing remixes of this song to see what people do with it as there is just so much untapped potential to the song itself and Evgeniy has done a great job fleshing out the atmosphere and adding quite a lot to the tune itself, creating a dark yet soothing trance take with some notable nods to Tiesto’s style, it makes for quite a fun listen!

New Reverian – “Civilizations” | Orchestral / Electronic
Here we have an uplifting song by New Reverian, paying tribute to “Anthropology”; a fanfic by JasonTheHuman this one is about the crossover of the pony and human civilizations and has that “awaiting discovery” feel to it. It’s hard to put into words when describing the atmosphere in this track. The orchestral arrangements are answered by a euphoric assortment of synths and help to paint this picture and I just love how they all come together.
Dynamite Grizzly – parasite lovely | Techno
Grizzly has always been the first musician I think of when Techno gets brought up, and this is no exception. A nice raw progression coupled with a clever use of samples thrown in the mix and all dedicated to the parasite queen we all know and love. This one is a trip to say the least and one worth taking!
Tripon – Becoming Popular | Jump Up Drum & Bass
This is a nice blast from the past cast in a new light by Tripon! Its an interesting take on a song that completely flips the mood on end and makes excellent use of sound design and vocal manipulation and creates tension in all the right ways. This is the song that everypony should know!
Fascinatin – Lesson Omega | Future Bass
For someone relatively new, I’m shocked at how deep this feels. Fascinatin did a great job conveying Twilight’s goal of setting an example for all of Equestria as the Princess of Friendship and the emotions that are being evoked are just incredible! If there is one thing that stands out to me, the creative rhythms thrown in by the drums and I’ve always been a sucker for legato synth leads. I expect great things to come from this and can’t wait to hear whats next! How about you?
Riovelk – Memories of You | Eurobeat
Riovelk is one of those artists I really want to see gain more traction. Memories of You tells the tale of when Celestia Banished her Sister to the moon with some stellar vocals and a very catchy mix throughout that exudes those glorious 80s vibes complete with complex melodies and power chords and it takes me back to “the good ol’ days” of Super Ponybeat and just love how they breathe new life into an aspiring genre such as this.
Rusty – Imposter Syndrome | Electro Swing
Rusty is at it again! This song tells us about his realization of developing what is known as “Imposter Syndrome”; which is where you feel that anything good in your life, whether it be your actions or things you just find good in general, are all due to manipulation, luck, or someone else’s work. Rusty does a great job at telling this tale with infectious and emotional vocal work, that I don’t hear very often and there are plenty of developments through out to keep you coming back for more. Electro Swing is hard to do right. The melody and groove in this gives off such a great vibe and the creative ways that Rusty went about producing this, is just incredible! You do not want to pass this one up!
Exiark – FTL | Drum & Bass
Straight from the album Otherworldly Journey, this track envelops you with its chilling melody, depth, and sense of determination as it tells of how Luna, after being exiled to the moon is trying to get to someone, and how nothing will stop her from getting there. Faster than light we are taken through Exiark’s Universe and yet, we still have much further to go before we reach the end.
FruityFusion – Pastelle Colors (feat. Imitator) | Indie Pop
Here is a wonderful chillaxing piece with a sprinkling of 80s vibes brought to us by FruityFusion, with some astoundingly smooth vocals from Imitator! This piece manages to pack in quite the atmosphere and energy for the pace it sets and makes use of some interesting textures and organic soundscapes (my personal favourite is the subtle wooden chimes) that all come together to form a dreamy and serene track that takes hold of you and doesn’t let go until the very end.
Vylet Pony – Over Equestria | Ambient / Chillout
This right here. Over Equestria is one of those tracks that reminds me of how far we have come together, and how far we have yet to go. As the introduction to Tales From Equestria, Vylet sets the tone with some deep, retrospective sound design. It really paints the picture of standing atop a hill, looking out over the world, a light breeze in the air, and reflecting on where it all began to where we are now. You really have to hear it for yourself to understand. But it also begs the question, “Where will we go from here?”
