Evershade always seems to be Patient Zero for the infections beats, and with their newest track “Starlight,” I’m catching this infection too. From the Latin-type rhythms on the piano, to the bouncy lyrics, this song has all the signature catchiness of a signature Evershade song. But what makes this track special is the chorus. That shift from the bouncy to the more soulful and softer piano drives this track as an emotional masterpiece.

The Wilders – Where’d It Go (Pagan Pegasus Remix) | Hardstyle
We don’t get many remixes of “Where’d It Go” and that’s kind of a shame. I’m glad Pagan Pegasus decided to take the already Paramore-esque song and make it a harder hitting dance track. From the infectious beats, to the harder-hitting chorus compared to the original, this is one song that I cannot sit still listening to it.
4everfreebrony – My Cadence (feat. Koa) (covering Matthew Mosier) | Soft Rock Ballad
Two vocal powerhouses join together to cover one of the fandom’s all-time most popular acoustic songs. I’m at a loss for words here, and whatever I say through my tear-filled eyes won’t even remotely convey how beautiful and powerful this song is. The only word that keeps coming to mind is “wow.” I’m glad that 4everfreebrony decided to make the already stunning song into a soft rock ballad and that Koa lent her exquisite voice to sing the Cadance lyrics. Both of them complement each other’s voices perfectly to create this absolutely perfect cover. [Twitter: 4everfreebrony]
replacer – star sapphire in space | Synthwave
Replacer has been on a roll this past year, producing banger after banger & showing us that after 10+ years of making music in the fandom, they are still going strong. Synthwave has always been one of those genres that doesn’t come up that often, but when it does it is a treat for the ears – and this track is no exception. From the out-of-this-world, “spaced out” (puns intended) melodies and almost atmospheric core, I can’t help but feel relaxed, yet stimulated at the same time. Anyone else up for a retro space adventure with this song as the soundtrack?
The Wilders – Monster Party (Acid Applejack Remix) | Hardpsy
“Monster Party” was already a banger perfect for any party, and then Acid Applejack comes in and makes it into a rave track! I love that Acid Applejack not only seems to see any sort of song and say “Let’s add a lot more energy to it,” but makes a song that you can’t listen to staying still. From the crisp handclaps to the dynamic bassline, this is the song that you want to add to all your Halloween party playlists going forward.
Skyshard – Stargazer | Orchestral
If there is one thing that Skyshard is well-known for, it is laying out a scene and emotion very early on in a song and growing from there without leading us astray. “Stargazer” immediately sets up a calming, atmospheric feeling with sounds meant to simulate a calm evening by a waterfront that immediately gets me in the mood to relax and reflect. It quickly changes to a feeling of wonder as the song goes on, simulating imagination associated with the act of stargazing. With all the hardcore styles of music that dominate the Brony music scene, it is always nice to come back to a gentle & calming track that is meant to give us that excitement without the high-energy feels.
SpinScissor – Goodbye (2023 Remaster) | Liquid Drum & Bass
A little over two and a half years ago, SpinScissor graced the world with his song “Goodbye,” which was already a solid song. Now we get blessed with a new remastered version! Right off the bat, the percussion and secondary melodies hit us with a wave of energy & drive. I still can’t get over those elongated bass line licks in the middle of the track, shaping the tone of the overall song & driving the transitions between the unique sections. All in all, every instrument and sound melds together to create a wonderful experience for your ears.
Jyc Row – Molten Spike VS Ember & Thorax (Badlands Meltdown) | Orchestral
Jyc Row is back yet again with another incredible track for the Infinite Eclipse series, and like all the other tracks in the series it is full of epic orchestration and stunning storytelling through music. “Molten Spike VS Ember & Thorax (Badlands Meltdown)” is a direct sequel to “Wings of Destruction” and “Heroes Shall Vanquish Once again,” two other impressive narrative-driven tracks in their “Molten Spike” story from the “Prequel’s Finale” sub-series of Infinite Eclipse. Being the first track in a while to be fully instrumental, it brings out Jyc Row’s amazing talent creating his signature epic orchestral and highlights the celtic-type instruments that go into it. And don’t get me started on the male choir vocalization! I feel like I am immersed in a great dragon battle with a crowd of warriors backed behind me.
Jeff Burgess & Sole Screwdriver – Birds of Paradise | Pop Rock
It’s always great hearing a new track by Jeff Burgess, especially one that is his first original track in about a year, and one of a few new pony-related tracks released in the past half decade or so. Joined by his friend, Sole Screwdriver, “Birds of Paradise” is a very airy & easy to listen to track with a light, yet energetic acoustic guitar leading the instrumentation. Jeff’s vocals are the cherry on top, showcasing that same amazing talent that creates that signature emotion behind all of his music. We’re going to be missing you for the next four years, Jeff. Hope all goes well with the Air Force. We can’t wait to hear what amazing music you’ll create when you’re back!
[P@D] Jyc Row & Gabriel Borza – Protector [守り者 / Mamorisha] [ft. X] | J-Rock
Jyc Row never ceases to amaze us with his creativity and ability to delve into such diverse genres, this time collaborating with guitarist Gabriel Borza and an undisclosed singer (referred to as X) with another song for his “Infinite Eclipse Origin” series. Styled like an anime opening song, it is the mix of the three musicians that make this song incredible: Gabriel’s energetic guitars & dynamic drumming, Jyc Row’s always astonishing orchestral aspects, and X’s unbelievable vocal talent. Even if you are not into J-Rock or any music in this style, it is definitely worth a listen!
