You can expect quite a few songs on here from Opalescence in the coming days. First off is Bright from StrachAttack, and old project that he revived for this album in a somewhat unusual style. To quote the man himself, “Progressive House at 145 bpm, seriously, what would that even be?”

Community album to support TheLostNarrator
Hey guys, I’m sure plenty of you know about the situation regarding TheLostNarrator (and if you don’t, perhaps check out this video), and our friends over at the Top Ten Pony Songs are doing something to help. I’ll hand over to Reverie to explain; you can watch the embedded video above or read his press release below…
Hey all! My name is Reverie, and you probably know me from the Top Ten Pony Songs countdown.
Lost Narrator—an active member of the pony community—was rushed to the hospital only a little while ago to have emergency surgery on an ovarian cyst that had gone unnoticed for a long, long time. The problem lies in the medical and recovery bills that will follow the procedure. If you don’t live in the United States, you have to know that the healthcare system here is certainly less than perfect, in many ways. Needless to say, she needs help to pay these bills.
Horse Friends (the record company that I manage) is releasing a special compilation album of never before seen tracks by some of the fandom’s top artists, including Lavender Harmony, GatoPaint, PON3, Vylet, and many, many more. This album will be priced fairly low (between $5 and $10 U.S.), and 100% of the proceeds will be going to Lost Narrator in order to make her expenses less expensive. This album will be coming out very, very soon, so be ready for that.
We here at Horse Friends hope you pick up the album (and donate a little extra if you can afford it!) so that Lost can get back on her feet and back to making great content for this wonderful community.
Thank you!
~Reverie

Ponycide – Far Away | Trip-Hop
Completing what hackd called earlier “the holy trinity of chill”, we have a new song from Ponycide. They’ve been on a roll with Trip-Hop tracks recently, and this one delivers just as much. Go check it out for some jazzed-up time patterns!
ertrii – Holocaust | Chillstep
Continuing the chill vibe from Hay Tea’s track this morning, ertrii brings his usual atmospheric game to the table. Snappy yet reserved drums, smooth sub bass, and a euphoric keyboard melody are all brought together to make this a fantastic song.
