[P@D] Aurelleah – Aetherwake / Metapony – Sounds | House

This song sets out to convey something quite simple: pure optimism and joy. At this, it’s a huge success. The bouncing, upbeat track is just overflowing with both of those! Aurelleah’s first exploration into true EDM is sure to get your hooves jumping, your manes flying, and your bodies into the air. Truly, this song feels like a vision into Pinkie’s own mind, as she goes to and fro cheering up her friends.


Metapony delivers to us all a calm, happy, and stunningly melodic piece. Leading off with a slightly static-y feel reminiscent of old vinyl tracks, the song progresses The chords and reverb are truly fantastic. Every arp and lead is an exercise in pure joy. If Aurelleah’s song is built to hype you up, Metapony’s is built to let you relax with a warm smile upon your face.

Direct Current – Star Chaser: Terrestrial | Album | Ambient / Chillout

Direct Current’s second full length album is packed with emotion. A prequel to their earlier album Star Chaser, this one is themed around a pegasus living on the rock farm, falling in love with Limestone Pie, and eventually venturing to explore the stars.

The vocals are lovely, the effects on them perfect. Fans of ElectroKaplosion will definitely feel nostalgic. The deep, atmospheric sound design and lovely synth creation.

All throughout, I’m struck by the sense of wonder the songs provide. They manage to be inspirational, down-to-earth, and foreboding by turns. Truly a stunning piece of music.

You can purchase this album on Direct Current’s Bandcamp for $5 or stream the entire album on YouTube.

New Reverian – Kaleidoscopes | Drum & Bass

New Reverian brings us all some smooth, relaxing DnB. Beginning with a very uplifting synth solo and adding in some delicious fast but relaxingly soft drums, the song gets off to a great start. Throughout, the bright, vibrant synths take us along with Rainbow Dash through the cloud-speckled sky. Each drum beat is like another flap of her wings; each synth the call of the horizon, beckoning her onward. We finish with a purely melodic, emotional coda, like Dashie returning home to her friends.

In “Showdown VIP”, Jalmaan brings us a truly beautiful progressive house track. The bold synths, the uplifting melodies, the wonderfully atmospheric pads, and the evolving drums all compliment each other to form a stunning product.

If you like electronic music, give it a listen. You won’t regret it!

NeverLastStanding – Last Known | Orchestral

What a pleasant surprise this is! I’ve been playing a lot of Dwarf Fortress and D&D lately, and this is perfect music for both. NeverLastStanding’s beautiful orchestral sound design is spot-on. It’s got an uplifting, adventurous spirit with just enough hints of danger to keep you guessing about what’s to come. This fantastic composition would be right at home in a travelling montage in a fantasy epic like LotR. Or, for that matter, a season finale of pony!

PrinceWhateverer – Resilience (feat. Sable Symphony & MantaTsubasa) | Metalcore

FINALLY A SONG ABOUT BEST PONY WOOOHOOO

That’s right fillies and gentlecolts, it’s Starlight vs Twilight!

Sweet Celestia, this is amazing! PrinceWhateverer brings us a rock song overloaded with the absolute highest level of hype. Themed around Starlight and Twilight’s climactic battle in the Season 5 finale, this is an instant classic. I truly cannot remember the last time a song got me this excited and hyped. The “pony” part of “pony music” is here in force as well. This is truly a 2012 song with 2017 production.

Why are you still reading this? The song is up there, it’s awesome, and it’s about best pony. Go go go!
