Everyone knows PegasYs is such a good producer and vocalist. So how about a taste of some vocals that have just a tad of reggae vibe to them? It’s a style that is well-suited to the lyrics. PegasYs shows off his vocal range with this one, and the lovely Koa then comes in with her own sweet vocals to add some love to this “ship” of Twilight and Sunburst. As track 8 onP@D: Ignite, the song features a wonderland-style pop melody that is so catchy, and the vocals lend a worldly feel to the musical Moombah style (as it’s stated). You can relax in wonder with this one! As always, this Qilin asks you to judge for yourself.

[P@D] Faulty – Hidden (feat. ThatMusicBrony) | House
You know…..This is a pretty thought-provoking track if I do say so myself. Faulty up to this point, to me, has been known to really smash out the high energy with his music. By contrast, this song is so deep and moving. That deep, dramatic piano, the rain effect, and the slow burn of emotion in that melody that is smooth and cerebral. The song becomes a journey for answers once TMB’s awesome vocals really start to take hold of your mind, and the message of the track really hits you. Faulty has made something inquisitive, ambient, and so chill. You can find it on P@D: Ignite at track 15. Come find out yourself with the bug queen!

[Equinity] TCB – ATELOPHOBIA 2020 | Future Dance
(Listen to the original here)
Atelophobia is the Fear of Imperfection or of things going wrong and also the fear of failure. It often manifests itself as a ‘perfectionist’ thinking style and can lead to a constant feeling of inadequacy or of not being ‘good enough’.
“Psychology is the name of the game here, and all of the elements are used here, my fellow bronies.”
Are you ready for Equinity 03: Breach? How about an opening track that is such a powerful remake? How about an intense dive into Sweetie Belle’s psyche? TCB must have really done his homework here. Those psychological elements are at work in the weighty opening and the expression of emotional bitterness Sweetie feels toward her sister delivered with those harmonious tones. We dive right into her fears and turmoils with these grindy and murky melodies. The vocal chops fit right in with the timing and add to the despairing mood. The track then goes into a range of emotion as Princess Luna arrives to even the score and helps the young foal. Oh man, the use of the piano and cello with ripping beats really just pulls you into Sweetie Belle’s fear! TCB has made so many improvements to the original, especially with the ending that fits so well with what Luna did for Sweetie in “For Whom the Sweetie Belle Toils”. Sweetie Belle battles her fear and anger with that hard bass that TCB is known for, and there is even a nice touch of victorian era violin at the end! What an awesome way to open the album, which will drop on 08/03/2020! As always, this Qilin asks you to judge for yourself!
DAϟH – HORSE BREACH – Gabber
Gabber (/ˈɡæbər/; Dutch: [ˈxɑbər]), also known as gabba, early hardcore or Rotterdam hardcore, is a style of electronic music and a subgenre of hardcore techno.
I didn’t know ponies had computers! This composition’s use of blaring bass and slam-bang melodies brings the track to red alert! A cocky pony cat burglar tries to breach a well-known Equestria bank system, but woah boy–she’s in trouble now! The track features some smooth use of vocal chops to add authenticity to the botched hack and ensuing escape attempt. The chaos just keeps getting better as the track goes on!
I would say that now is a better time than ever to discover what Dash and the folks over at Equestria Terror Corps are about. Gabber is such a fun genre to listen to, and for those who have never heard it, this track is a great intro to it. It’s a shame it didn’t make Equinity 03, but Dash is still making Noise for the growing Equestrian Terror Corps label! As always this Qilin asks you to judge for yourself.
Blackened Blue – Flight 2020 REMAKE | Metalcore
(Listen to the original here to see just how much more improved the remake is)
It is no secret that many new Musicians are heavily influenced by Linkin Park in someway, They are one of the greatest bands of the modern era of music. That can be heard in this track by Blackened Blue. The style of nu metal instrumental and percussion, but more so by the mood of this song. A young Pegasus is incredibly sad and frustrated by seeing it’s friends that can fly but it has yet too. The lyrics are very emotional and convey a bitterness about it, especially when blackened lets out his natural screaming vocals that just happens to sound like the late Chester Bennington. Absolutely phenomenal and a great way to end his self-titled EP which you can listen to Here. As always, this Qilin asks you to judge for yourself.
BVYANX – Magic | Dubstep
Ah it’s always fun when I hear what some fresh faces with talents have to offer in the modern brony music community! BVYANX here rolls out a showcase of experimentation in Bass, Sounders and wavy synthesis! Using our beloved big brain book horse as a conduit. There is a nice degree of magical synthetics and riffs to represent Twilight playing around with electronic music along with the deep bass and hard synths with a mythical sounding melodies mixed in with the hard beats of Dubstep. Not too bad. I always enjoy a musician taking what a character represents and makes a story out of it through music. This was enjoyable. As always, this Qilin asks you to judge for yourself
Toby Macarony – San Maredreas (GTA: San Andreas Theme Parody) | G-Funk
(Warning: Imagery may be upsetting to some. You have been warned)
There is nothing that Toby can not create and be money about it? Accurately taking the Grand theft Auto: San Andreas theme. He throws the MLP theme song into a blender with gangs, drugs and other illegal activities, prompting this result to spit itself out. A perfect instrumental hip hop, blend of ponies and GTA. it’s so good you think it’s from the actual game as a modification. Toby plays things by his rules and does what Toby does lol, All courtesy of his Shenanigans II album. As always, This Qilin asks you to judge for yourself.
[NSN] Soundnix x AJ Young – Biohazard | Dubstep
-Ominous: indicating the nature of a future event, for good or evil; having the significance of an omen; being a portent.
Boy, that definition is the nature of the tag team of Soundnix and AJ Young. The calm before the storm with that atmospheric build up is simply breathtaking. And then it’s ground zero as that heavy bass drops! Those dangerous wubby and zingy riffs make you head for the hills! This track wonderfully tells the tale of the ponies in Equestria dealing with a pandemic much like we are now. While still chaotic and atmospheric, this fusion of dubstep and orchestra elements is fluid in its combination! Listen to chaos at its best musically for NSN Vol 3: Black Stable! As always, this Qilin asks you to judge for yourself.
[P@D] Faulty – Light Me Up (feat. Koa) | Progressive House
So more Ponies At Dawn for ya! Absolutely incinerating of a track to open the entire album. This track features the enticing vocals of Koa that are heart pounding, combined with Faulty’s exciting energy to fuel those romantic energies with such exciting melodies and riffs. Such a fitting track to open P@D: Ignite. I really don’t have to say much more other than this is a perfect track for all you love birds out there in the fandom. As always, this Qilin asks you to judge for yourself.
LuckRock – Bad Ending (ft. Drummershy & CategoricalGrant) | Punk Rock
I’ve been getting pretty deep and emotional on my articles as of late so let’s dial that back and have some fun. Here for your listening pleasure is a group of my friends using their talents for a bit of silliness. Featuring some suave drumming from Drummershy and punk rock flavor from Luckrock. A track was made from of all things DoTheDaringDo’s choices of his taken in the fanfiction, My Celestia does LuckRock sell in his vocals on how just much fun he is having with these cheeky and taunting voices that is just entertaining until the end of being rejected by RD with a resounding “BAD ENDING” from the author of the fic Categorical Grant in his trademark Deadpan voice that me and LuckRock have come to know from him in our local meetup group. It’s down right funny. Have a laugh and read the fanfic Here. As always, this Qilin asks you to judge for yourself.
