This unfortunately scrapped track by TCB bridges so many genres I don’t even know them all – future bass, D&B, instrumental, and more. It opens with a soft piano solo, and progresses into warm leads. Spliced elegantly amongst these leads are vocal chops of the Dazzlings. After the drop, an interesting mix of vocals, wubs, and gritty drums merge. The song finishes as it began, with beautiful piano work.

Throwback Thursday | ShadyVox – Pony Rock Anthem (feat. Nowacking & BreeFaithVA) | Electro House
Editor’s note: hey look remember TBTs haha we didn’t for a long time
If there’s a single song that truly captures the zeitgeist of 2012, this might well be it. ShadyVox‘s lead vocals as Neon Lights are excellent, Nowacking does a flawless Vinyl as usual, and BreeFaithVA‘s at home as Pinkie. The pumping beat, soaring leads, and ecstatic vocals all combine to form a perfect hype-up tune. If you’ve heard this before, you’re in for some serious nostalgia. And if you haven’t, you’re in for a wonderful surprise.
AnNy Tr3e – Sun Guardian | House
Opening with warm melodies interspersed with glitchy wubs, and progressing into a beautiful and very energetic beat, AnNy Tr3e is sure to get your tails bouncing and your hooves pounding! Moving into the breakdown, those glitchy wubs make a comeback, accompanied with vocal chops. All throughout, the song stays uplifting and danceable. We all know Fluttershy would like to be a tree, and if this is the kind of music they make, I have to agree with her!
[P@D] Einarx – Guardian VIP | Dubstep
What a privilege it is to get to write a review of something Einarx made! I’ve been a fan of him for over a year, since his absolutely fantastic EP “Descended” came out. This VIP is a superbly produced New Fluttershy-themed piece with screeching crashes, machine-like effects, and insane wubs, interspersed with softer melodic bits. All throughout, Einarx’s trademark vocal chopping shines brilliantly. Another top-quality track from the South Korean master of dubstep!
Night Blaze – It Was Thousands Years Ago | Orchestral
This beautiful orchestral piece by Russian composer Night Blaze calls to mind the events of ancient Equestria. It opens with gentle strings, and progresses into darker strings, pianos, and brass. The sheer emotion of this song throughout is breathtaking. But nowhere is it more breathtaking than at its climax. I heard the arrival of the twin sisters, their war against Sombra, their time in the Castle of the Two Sisters, and finally Luna’s banishment to the moon. Truly a majestic composition.
Saintz – Rise | Deep House
Saintz brings us a high-energy, dark piece of deep house. With a consistent and high-quality main synth that reminds me of Deadmau5’s “Phantoms Can’t Hang” , the song maintains a theme throughout. The smoothly progressing drums and spooky effects compliment the overall “feel”, and the excellent production rounds out the track. A perfect track to set on replay and listen to for a few hours.
Nevermourn – Canterlot Drone | Neuro Drum & Bass
Nevermourn hasn’t made much music yet, but after listening to this I’m eagerly waiting for his next release. With chilling ambiance and bold and eerie synths, he provides a high-quality changeling-inspired composition. The fast-paced drums evoke the feeling of an invasion, and the pitch-shifted vocals match the song’s darker feel perfectly. A hard-hitting banger all around!
Brilliant Venture – Twilight Vs. Tirek | Dubstep
SWEET CELESTIA, this feels nostalgic. I’m a huge, huge fan of the older pony music scene. What some artists consider “old” or “cringy” I consider “lovely” and “heartwarming”. Brilliant Venture captures that feel again in a track that left me breathless, teary-eyed, and grinning. With pony samples galore, vocal chopping left and right, wubs, and all the old EDM cliches, this is a trip to the past with modern production standards. A truly fantastic production, one that has that most difficult of properties to add – soul.
Filly in the Box – Neurological Pony Disorder | Dubstep
The first thing I thought when I started listened to this was “Whoa, what a groovy beat!” The second was “these are some really, really good sounds!” With innovative synths, lovely growls, and downright unbelievable vocal chopping, Filly in the Box delivers a real gem. It reminds me of the older kind of dubstep, the pre-brostep kind, back when it was just an underground British genre. It pairs that older dubstep with some almost IDM-like elements added for a truly delicious mix. Vinyl would be proud.
Synthis – Just Hang On | Synthpop
Synthis delivers another stunning piece of synthpop. His vocals are emotional and moving. The production is top-tier, with the gentle synths and the soft wubs perfectly complimenting his singing. The lyrics, too, are some of the most uplifting I’ve heard in months. All in all, a wonderful track from a wonderful musician.
