A new track from UndreamedPanic is always a welcome sight, and this one’s a bit heavier than his last release! With a powerful bassline and strong percussion coming in right away, it quickly builds up to a pretty cool drop focusing on a pretty cool lead sound. The middle section is a lot more chilled out before it goes back into the heavy stuff. Make sure to check it out below for a pretty heavy electro track!

Mantlegen, when he gets it right, is one of my favourite producers in the fandom, and he shows why here with the release of his insanely zany, creative and strongly produced new EP, Evil Magics. All 3 tracks are well worth a listen, but the title track linked below takes the cake. It takes you on a journey through intelligently designed synths, powerful and cleanly produced dubstep sections and some pretty crazy interludes, with plenty of pony vocal samples cleverly included throughout in a pretty seamless fashion. Make sure to check it out below!

It feels like Seventh Element has been around forever, so it’s awesome to see that after all this time he’s still plugging away and releasing innovative and immersive new tunes. Canterlot Insomnia is the opening track of his upcoming concept album Fear Of Dark. If this is any indication, the album will be quite a journey. With an ambient intro full of dark overtones, excellent percussion and wonderful use of vocal sampling and auxiliary sounds help to mould a sinister and oppressive mood throughout.

Back after a bit of a period away from releasing stuff, Donn DeVore returns with a pretty cool track about Treehugger. Starting innocuously enough with a pretty fast drum beat, the vocals that make the track soon come in with some pretty great lyricism too. The combination of indie-style vocals and a fusion of rock and electronic instrumentals behind them makes for the kind of thing I haven’t heard much of recently in the fandom, and it’s well worth taking a listen to!

Another new track from Prince’s recent album Reinvent, this piece features all the trademarks of a great PW track – with strong clean vocals from the man himself, excellent production, a neat typography video and some really cool growling vocals from NRGpony. Make sure to check it out below!

A new series of orchestral productions, A Symphony of Friendship is a series of collaborations between CainbowRrash and Tom, one half of A Symphony Of Two. This piece, Little Peeks focuses on the lighter side of Fallout Equestria character Little Pip. With a mix of flute, strings, oboe and more, this is definitely a pretty whimsical piece, and well worth a listen!

A new piece from 4everfree’s album Hoping featuring some vocals from FritzyBeat, Sun & Moon is a pretty relaxing piece that brings a pretty mellow tone with it. With a slight country vibe to it, this piece is carried by the wonderful vocals on show, but also features some very nice soft guitar and percussion, as well as some lovely piano-work too. Make sure to check it out below!

A new track from R3CTIFIER teasing his upcoming R3CTIFIED EP, FOR3VER is a restyling of an older track he initially produced in 2014. The new coat of paint has done it wonders, with a fantastic blend of melody and sound design making this a pretty awesome piece. Something about the sections with the melodic chord progression interspersed with heavy sounds just gets me, so make sure to check it out if you’re up for that!

Some more new music from Nicolas Dominique with something a little more pared down from his usual releases. Throughout the track is some very well composed cello which takes center stage, playing some haunting melodies. The track is otherwise held together by a variety of electronic sounds that help to create an ambient and mysterious feel to the whole track.
