This track off Ditherer’s upcoming album tells the story of the darker side of Sweetie Belle’s emotions in The Break Up Break Down, detailing the loneliness and hopelessness she felt before and after figuring out Big Mac’s package was for Sugar Belle. The episode ends with a happy resolution, but Ditherer expertly weaves a flow detailing her sadder feelings. With a somber beat by TCB showing off his propensity for vocal chops (this time from the CMCs), this song has got me excited for Ditherer’s next project!

MC-Arch – If I Ever Forget | Album | Hip-Hop
After months of buildup, MC-Arch‘s new album has finally arrived! If I Ever Forget finds Arch rapping to anyone with hurt in their lives, while avoiding many of the pitfalls that typically plague “motivational” rappers. Along with some production from Arch, the album features several pony regulars, like Mikuma, TCB, Bank Pain, and PegasYs. Additionally, Arch experiments with several vocal stylings and has more melodic content than what he usually makes. With the Post Malone-influenced Drivin’ (featuring a lush beat from MrMehster) and the gorgeous Flutterwubs, Arch’s melodic chops are apparent and he melds them together with his always-unique flows wonderfully. This album is an emotional ride and I’m sure it was for Arch too, so be sure to pick this one up!
[P@D] 4EverfreeBrony & Replacer – Piece of History | Classic Rock
The hype for Enigma has been building up for a while, but it’s in full swing now that we have our first real taste of the music! 4Everfree and Replacer have come thru with a magnificently catchy tune about Princess Twilight struggling with her princesshood and longing to recede from the public eye. The vocals (especially the falsetto backing vocals in the chorus) and production, as indicated in the description, is highly reminiscent of Jeff Lynne of Electric Light Orchestra’s, which is always a plus for me. The premise of the song is a wonderful juxtaposition with its actual sound and this is truly something everypony can enjoy. Well done, guys!
Evgeniy Doctor – Royal Guard (feat. Brilliant Venture) | Trance
Emerging trance artist Evgeniy Doctor takes Brilliant Venture out of his comfort zone with this lovely trance tunes! With some old-school vibes, the atmosphere on this tune is wonderful and both artists really bring out the best in each other. The fills, synths, and leads from Evgeniy are gorgeous and Brilliant Venture’s beautiful Rarity vocal chops compliment the feel of the song amazingly. Not one to miss if you want to immerse yourself in pony for 7 minutes.
[HMC] Intersekt – Conchorde | Drum & Bass
Another lovely release from Drumscape Library, this one featuring a tune from the Horse Music Central, Vol. 5 compilation! Seemingly paying tribute to the fandom DnB songs of old (Style and Speed anypony?), this has got to be one of the best feel-good pony Drum & Bass songs. With tasty breaks, uplifting chords and driving leads, cool experimentation with different basses and inventive Rainbow Dash vocal chops, this might even be my personal favorite tune from Intersekt!
Radiarc – That Spark | Orchestral
Another fantastic piece from one of the most prolific orchestral composers in the fandom! This time, Radiarc channels his inner Rainbow Dash and sets out to show his audience that, despite personal life setbacks, he’s still here and he’s still got the titular spark. This grand track features some post-rock-inspired bass and guitar, some killer saxophone, and Radiarc’s always-excellent string arrangements. Definitely yet another treat from Radiarc!
Tripon – Memories | Drum & Bass
One of my favorite producers in the fandom making a song inspired by my favorite pony, what could be better?! Tripon’s song inspired by his first joining the fandom back in 2012 features a completely different vibe than we’re used to from him. However, many of the staples of his other music remain. In addition to a beautiful backing piano melody, Tripon’s reese bass and energetic breaks lend this tune a very unique energy quite befitting of Cadance.
Nicolas Dominique – Enigmatic | Trance
This new track from eclectic fandom staple Nicolas Dominique features some crispy 303s and a wonderful atmosphere throughout. Inspired by the theme of Ponies at Dawn’s upcoming album, Enigma, it is a rather uptempo trance tune with a driving kick and some incredibly lush backing synths. Something about trance music just lends itself perfectly to Princess Luna!
Jyc Row – Equilibrium | Orchestral
Jyc Row returns with yet another grand orchestral piece. Inspired by the artwork you see in the video, this song perfectly captures the artist’s vibe and, while not as elaborate as some of Jyc’s most recent compositions, it still features his signature epic atmosphere, powerful drums, lush strings, lovely choral vocals, and is a fantastic way for Jyc to break out of his writer’s block. Fantastic work right here!
Suskii & Vylet Pony – Clout Coins | Dubstep
Two sound design masterminds have joined forces and, boy, is it long overdue. Clout Coins does a fantastic job of combining the melodicness and crunchy samples of Suskii’s dubstep and Vylet‘s compositional prowess. They complement each other in a highly unexpected way, and the Chrysalis samples are manipulated in such a way to make them nothing less than cathartic. Definitely not one to miss out for any basshead.
