She Only Comes Out At Night was a great tune from Zizkil, and VooDoo has totally turned it on its head in combination with Dihedral. The addition of some vocals adds some context and depth, whilst the drops build up well and hit hard. Definitely one of the more interesting and transformative remixes I’ve heard recently, so make sure to check it out!

Vylet’s been working on a new album about Aloe and Lotus, and it’s out now! This track, featuring some help from LeoLeo, showcases a distinctly different direction in sound from him. Electronic elements support an indie-style rock instrumental and some lovely soulful and upbeat vocals. It’s a fun track and a great showcase of the album, so check it out and grab the album on Bandcamp here!

The first part of Ponysphere’s land of harmony series came out some time ago, but the wait for this second part is evidently well worth the wait! With exceptional clean vocals from Secret Metal and some work on the instrumental portion of the song from Shurrikane and Osoch, this big collaborative work led by Ponysphere is full of amazing metal and orchestral stuff.

Another exceptional orchestral track from Radiarc, and this one has influences from a whole bunch of places. Designed around Queen Chrysalis, it absolutely suits her character. With elements of rock and jazz, and some gorgeous vocal sounds too, the atmosphere on show is perfect.

Nicolas’ chillout works are almost always wonderfully calming, and this is one of my favourites of his recent releases! Consistent and clear pads and arpeggios combine with other lovely compositional elements to help immerse you in a sea of kites soaring through the air. Maud would almost certainly enjoy the atmosphere.

Exiark and lia;quo are unarguably two of the best producers in the fandom when it comes to their ability to combine modern and powerful sound design with memorable and interesting arrangement and composition. To have them both team up for a track together is therefore something that just had to be awesome! This tune combines beautiful melodic sections with aggressive and sleek drops to really create an awesome piece.

Jastrian’s Celestia-inspired works seems to have a special quality to them. This one definitely shows that, with a gorgeous blend of vocal chops and uplifting synths, arranged in an intricate and interesting way with plenty of upbeat goodness.

Ditherer’s followed up his recently released album with some more music pretty quickly, and this one’s super fun! It’s a solid track on its own, but the main idea of it is that it’s got a whole lot of verses, with plenty of different attempts at fitting the style of a multitude of other rappers from the fandom, from oldschool names like MicTheMic, Swagberg and Lulz, as well as newer ones like Wootmaster and N. Hollow.

eksoka’s trance music is always awesome to hear, and this one’s a bit more aggressive than usual, giving off a dark vibe throughout which reflects well in the inspiration from the artwork above. There’s plenty of evolution of the vibes throughout the track to keep it interesting, and lots of nice little details throughout.

Elias has another awesome Equestria Girls cover with an aggressive interpretation of Rainbow Rocks’ Friendship Through The Ages. Some interesting different types of vocals combine with his usual ones, as well as some great guitar and other instrumentation.
