Dynamite Grizzly has made a bunch of cool new music recently, and you can find a bunch of it, along with this track, on their new album The Horses Really Like Techno. This is possibly one of the zanier tracks on the album, and features an interesting and diverse range of sounds with some quieter sections interspersed with crazy breakcore drum sections and some great vocal sampling throughout.

LutariFan has been a pretty quiet presence in recent times, but he’s still very much around and continuing to improve as a producer as shown here in spades! He’s taken L.M.’s beautiful track Eve and melded it into his own interesting style, as well as added some lyrics to the previously instrumental original. Flittzy’s singing helps to complement the instrumental, and overall this is just a really pretty track.

If you want some happy sounding music, these are definitely worth checking out! First up is a new track from Kadenza in their classic melodic house style, this time teaming up with fellow musician Zero. With catchy melodies and some strong mixing this sounds both professional and highly enjoyable.
The second track is pretty interesting in that it’s a remix of multiple pieces, with EnsionD supplementing an instrumental remix of LutariFan’s Advent by including the vocals of Flittzy’s track Someday. It’s definitely not something I’d have thought of, but it works surprisingly well!

Luna Jax and 4everfreebrony teaming up is a pretty awesome combination! With Jax’s strong vocals and a really nice instrumental it starts up brilliantly. 4everfreebrony’s vocals come in later on, and work just as well. A pretty soft and relaxing track, it wonderfully tells the story of Celestia and Luna’s reunion after Luna’s banishment to the moon ended.

Quicksilver’s nailed it here with a heavy and enthralling instrumental track about Ahuizotl. With some great guitar work pulling off some nice melodies and some solid drums backing it up, it’s a bit different to have something from him without vocals, but it definitely still works well.

Spike’s song from the last season gets some more love with a new remix from JoinedTheHerd! Featuring some pretty great vocal chops, and strong use of the vocals, this is a pretty upbeat remix and uses the main progression in a great way during the ‘drop’ part of the track. Make sure to check it out below if you’re a fan of JTH’s remixes, because this one’s another quality piece to add to the collection!

Hot off the heels of his last groovy release, Disco Girl, Homage returns with an awesome follow up in the form of Alone. This track instantly hits with a funky groove to it, and some cleverly programmed vocal chops. That continues throughout the track, which whilst carried by the generally ever-present vocals, also has great old-school feeling synth usage.
Note: Since the original video got deleted, you may find the MP3 file of the song here.

Suskii is back with another banger of a dubstep tune. This one has a strong melodic focus in the intro, with some fantastic arpeggiation. The build up has some great use of Twilight’s vocals from the show, and the drop is full of some awesome heavy dubstep sound design. Suskii has quickly become one of the best exponents of dubstep in the fandom, and this track definitely shows why.

A new orchestral release from A Symphony Of Two, For The Greater Good paints a picture of the sorrow that must have been felt by both sisters after Celestia’s imprisonment of Luna on the moon. With a solemn mood, and beautifully emotional climaxing of the piece towards the end, I’m very impressed by the flow of this one.

It’s been a while since Fritzy’s teamed up with Almost Anyone for a pony track, and it’s certainly nice to have a new collab from them! Fritzy’s trademark vocal style works well with the heavy and happy electronic synth design of Almost Anyone, as they bring a track about Rainbow Dash and Tank.
