Inspired by the king of shadows himself, Sombra, this electro track from Violin Melody manages to combine solid synth design with some catchy melodies and subtle dark undertones – a track worthy of the inspiration source for sure!

Alexis Julemier – Ride On The Rainbow Wobble | Drum & Bass
Bringing me back a little to the DnB that used to be a lot more prominent in the fandom is this track from Alexis Julemier full of some really bright and happy melodies that really fit in with the Rainbow Dash persona. Sit back and enjoy the ride.
うすうすベア & KILXYU – YANDANCER (feat. Chase) | Gabber/Breakcore
fractilx brings together a couple of their aliases for something rather more dark than their usual offerings, with a super heavy hardcore track about Moondancer. I just love how they manipulate the vocal samples especially, really cool stuff.
Sonic Rainboom – The Fuck-Up (feat. Francis Vace) | Industrial Pop
Sonic Rainboom teams up with the vocal talents of Francis Vace to deliver a powerful piece of music about the deep inner feelings of Trixie. In fact, in the description of the track SR goes into quite deep detail about his feelings behind Trixie’s behaviour. The way the main part of the song comes in is just raw power, and this track is one of SR’s best in my opinion.
Quicksilver – Problems (Fluttershy Has a Chainsaw) | Punk Rock
Quicksilver has definitely become one of my favourite non-electronic artists in the fandom, and even in a relatively short track such as this one he shows why with some really energetic vocals, and an instrumental to match. I’m not the biggest fan of the subject matter, but can definitely still groove along to this one regardless.
Sights Unseen – Awakening | Orchestral Synthpop
In something of a stylistic shift for Sights Unseen, we’re presented with something a bit different from his usual style. With an ambient introduction building into an orchestral soundscape, the first few minutes of this track would make a solid piece by themselves, however 2 and a half minutes in it pounds out some beautiful synth melodies, and continues in much the same style throughout, shifting between orchestral and synth-driven movements.
ExplodingPonyToast, LutariFan & ThatMusicBrony – Start Again (DJT Remix) | Glitch Hop
Start Again’s had some pretty great remixes already, and DJT joins the club with a high octane glitch hop re-imagining that I absolutely adore. A remix of one of my tracks in what is quite possibly my favourite genre? Yes please!
J25K – Silent Ponyville | Dark Ambient Electronic
A track full of spooky sound design, brought to us by relatively new pony musician J25K, Silent Ponyville feels like just the kind of track to be posting late at night. It’s clear that the artist wanted to create a track that would leave an uneasy air, and a majority of the sound design choices certainly lend themselves towards this goal.
Alexey Kotlyar – Welcome Solitude | Orchestral
I haven’t heard a whole lot of music from this artist, but the progression of this track is really quite pretty, and whilst some parts feel a bit raw, that somewhat adds to the emotion of the piece. There are parts where I feel like I can hear the weight of the piano keys, and along with the emotive strings, it makes for a touching end to the evening.
Little Jester – Walk | Chill
Following on with the relaxing vibes, Little Jester brings us a playful little chill track about Twilight that walks along beautifully, pulling us in its wake. Just the thing to follow along with during an afternoon break, or something similar.
