Arturo makes some pretty killer glitch-influenced music, and this track has a whole heap of that, as it delves into intricate and deep soundscapes to confront some nightmares. It’s got some pretty awesome sound design throughout, with just enough melodic content to help drive the craziness.

I have been seriously enjoying ThatMusicReborn’s ‘Mythical 6’ series, and this new Fluttershy track is an awesome way to continue it! Featuring vocals from both himself and Faux Synder, the dual voices fit together terrifically, with the instrumental supporting them to help create a mystical feel to the piece.

4EverfreeBrony has teamed up with CookieSoupMusic to produce this awesome Rush-style rock tune! It’s been a while since any new material from Cookie, so this is super cool. It’s also a part of 4Everfree’s new 3-part EP about Sombra and the Crystal Ponies, which you can check out here.

Vylet’s recent album release has been full of some great chill tracks, but this title track is a bit more upbeat. It makes awesome use of Pepper Mei’s vocals that suit the vibe of the track perfectly, with some super clever sound design and composition throughout a groovy drop.

TCB’s vocal chops grace us once again with some awesome chopping of Twilight’s voice. The first half of this track is pretty chilled out making use of vocal chops and soft chords, before we get some nice rap vocals from rapper Acarcion. The track then shifts into high gear with some awesome future bass chords.

Shal has impressed me a lot lately whenever he’s released anything, so it’s cool to see something in a different direction from them! Usually focusing on electronic stuff, this orchestral-tinted metal cover of Open Up Your Eyes makes great use of his vocals, as well as some solid guitar throughout.

Royalpony’s hardstyle, when it’s at its best, is super fun to listen to, and there’s a couple of great examples here! Here he’s teamed up with Cosine to produce an unofficial anthem for the recently passed BABScon, and it’s full of uplifting melodies alongside that signature hardstyle kick.

After a while since any new music from him, Crystarium returns with some melodic vocal glitch hop-y goodness. It’s one of my favourite genres, and the groove is present throughout the track with some lovely composition complementing plenty of sound design that orients itself around the strong chord progressions.

UndreamedPanic’s last few releases have been more upbeat house tracks, but he’s back to the heavy stuff again here with an awesome combination of bass house and dubstep sound design. The combination of powerful melodic breaks with groovy aggressive drops definitely suits the battle scene, so make sure to check it out!

Quadrivia is one is of the best bass designers in the fandom, so it’s great to hear some new pony tunes from her after some time since the last stuff. Featuring some excellent use of vocals from the cutie mark crusaders, this spiritual successor to ‘Filly Busters’, a track from 2016, is full of awesome powerful synth design and great heavy complextro wubs.
