Einarx releases a hard-hitting, melodic masterwork. It’s difficult to place this song in a box, because it has elements of dubstep, house, and trap. But there’s no question that it’s a fantastic song. Its immense drums and soft bells are amazing on their own, but paired with Rusyd’s vocals? It’s electrifying. Really looking forward to the EP!

[ASoS] fractilx – Historize | Future Bass
Yet another track from fractilx on ASOS! This one might just be the best one she got on there. Twinkling bells and plucky synths are augmented by hard but smooth drums and saw-ish wubs. Fast, sleek, and relaxing, much like Dash herself, this is a sublime example of future bass.
Royalpony – My Little Dashie (Bronycon 2017 Special) “Dashies Letter” | Melodic Hardstyle
This absolutely amazing song (5 years in the making!) brought me to tears. My Little Dashie is allegedly one of the saddest fanfics ever written, but I’ve somehow never read it. After this song, I’m definitely going to.
I’ve long been a hardstyle fan, but this is something special. It’s hard to mix hardstyle’s structure with sadness and emotion, and yet it’s one of the most emotional songs I’ve ever heard. What a song!
Alexey Kotlyar – Realm of Frost and Ice | Orchestral
Alexey creates a soundscape of orchestral beauty with finesse and grace. It calls to mind Luna’s visit to the frozen north of Equestria. It is dark, cold, and desolate, but a few hints of light remain. Luna treks through the snow, searching for something, but what?
Synthis – Insane (feat. Sora) (Seventh Element Remix) [Liquid Drum & Bass]
Seventh Element executes a minimalistic, vocals-focused spin on Synthis and Sora’s house duet. Reverb and light vocal chopping pair up to keep things surprising. His infrasonic oscillator modules the drums wonderfully. Overall, this remix has the vocal-centric take of an acapella with just enough instrumentation to stay EDM.
anosci – smiles n’ balloons (Additive Subtractive Remix) | Hardcore
Additive Subtractive has been around for quite a while. He specializes in top-tier happy hardcore. This remix of sci’s great work “smiles n’ balloons” channels that energy. Pinkie samples and high-pitched, bright synths are set to a speeding beat here, in this teaser for Bronycon!
Sable Symphony – The Perfect Pair (feat. SlightlyAmiss & Rockin’ Brony) | Acoustic / Hard Rock
A lovely collab between these three artists merges acoustic and hard rock. Themed around Bright Mac and Pear Butter’s romance, it’s a very ballad-esque piece. The guitar-work is splendid, the vocals heartfelt. It gets in your head like a catchy song!
[HMC] アイスベア – Celestial Onslaught | Breakcore
Ice Bear’s breakcore is a tour de force through Daybreaker’s world. Energetic beats, melodic synths, and lots of speed merge to create a panorama of sound. The softest effects, the bells and electric piano, are what complete the effect. Be sure and download the album, as it’s even more stunning in .flac.
Neon Lights – The Dark Queen (feat. Lunar Dance) | Hard Trancestep
I’ve been a fan of Lunar Dance for a long time, and I recently came across Neon Lights. They are both absolutely amazing, and this Nightmare Moon-themed collab combines both of their best talents in a unique, clever mishmash of sound. The pumping, four-on-the-floor beat is classic but strong, while the arpeggio’d synth in the drop is deliciously inventive.
Event HoriXZ0n – Find Your Better Self (VIP) | Complextro
Ten solid minutes of absolutely astonishing complextro, now THAT is a treat! And they’re from the musical breezie himself, Event HoriXZ0n!
Listening to this left me breathless at least half a dozen times. The vocals are bright and crisp, and the synths sizzle with energy. Every wub, kick, beep, clap, zap, and brrt is alight with the joy that gets a dance floor moving. Find Your Better Self is at home in a DJ set, a PMV, a gaming megamix, or just for its own sake!
