[LDB] Mantlegen – Clear Out | Electro House

Mantlegen tries out some electro house in this awesome track. It’s upbeat, energetic, and a little tropical too. The Pinkie samples are perfect, and those plucks are just divine. Mantlegen is always a pleasure to listen to, and I definitely hope to hear more electro house from him in the future!

You can get this track as part of Mantlegen’s new I Wanna Be EP that just dropped, or alternatively as part of the recent Lycan Dese Beats Beats Me 3 compilation album!

Eurobeat Brony – Luna (Suskii Remix) | Dubstep

Suskii’s latest release is a remix of the of Eurobeat’s classic song Luna! And man, is it good. A little softer and more melodic than most of his stuff, but still with plenty of wubs, it’s an absolute delight to listen to. He adds in a few Luna samples for fun, which ends up doubled!

ILLUMNATION – Casting Shadows EP | Dark Folk


Editor’s note: Better late than never…right?

Russian group Illumnation releases a downright amazing pay-what-you-want EP about Princess Luna! The instrumentation in general, and harp in particular, is stellar. Folk isn’t my thing at all, but this was an immediate download because it’s just that good.

But the true heart of the album is its awestriking vocals. Velvet’s beautiful voice is just brimming with passion. And the lyrics are perfect, about Princess Luna guiding our dreams and watching over sleeping ponies all across Equestria.

Casting Shadows is available to download on ILLUMINATION’s Bandcamp for any named price.

4EverfreeBrony – Hello | Acoustic Pop

4everfreebrony has written another song, this time with a truly unique theme. It’s about a spider who has a crush on Fluttershy! 4everfreebrony’s classic vocals are crisp, longing, and melodic, and the synths and piano are beautiful. Easy to listen to and very sweet, this song put a big silly smile on my face and warmth in my heart.

Lone Brony – A day in the forest | Orchestral

Peaceful and tranquil, with an undercurrent of adventure, Lone Brony’s composition brings to mind the placid glades near Fluttershy’s house. Teeming with life and light, the music lulls and comforts us with its serenity. Lone Brony’s music is always relaxing, and this is no exception!

[P@D] PVNK – Exterminatus | Electronic

PVNK shares my interest in Warhammer 40k, and this song takes inspiration from that setting’s biggest way to fix problems. Equestria is being invaded by Changelings, and ponies decide to activate a countermeasure of sorts. Gritty, lo-fi, noisy, and discordant, this is the auditory equivalent of watching a supervolcano erupt. I loved every second of it.

Editor’s note: Bonus P@D: Awakening mémé at the end!

[LDB] NeverLastStanding – Forever & Always | Happy House

What a fantastic song by NeverLastStanding! Electric pony samples plus happy sounds equals a truly spectacular song. From the description, it seems that this is NeverLastStanding’s love letter to the fandom. And that’s something I absolutely support. Truth be told, I feel exactly the same way. I love this fandom, I love its music, I love ponies, and I love seeing other people feel the same way. /)

Cynifree – The Mysterious Mirror | Glitch Hop / Moombahcore

Groove, style, and wubs collide in The Mysterious Mirror! Gritty bass and shuffling drums found the song for the synths and effects to build on. It’s themed around Applejack discovering a mirror that shows her surrounded by all manner of dark creatures. Who knows what lurks within the mirror?

Modern Bard – Celestial Sunrise | Ambient

A supremely atmospheric and immersive track, Celestial Sunrise is chilling in its majesty. I let my mouth hang open as I took in the beauty and the splendor of the music. Modern Bard says “more majestic than all ambient i’ve done before,” and I have to agree. This is a truly unbelievable composition.
