Crystal Slave – Staying Here Tonight | Electro-Pop

NB: The original video was deleted, the above is an archive re-upload.

Crystal Slave brings us a winter song…in June. Welp, it’s about as accurate as Discovery Family’s scheduling. Regardless, this song has a delightful Owl City vibe to it, and reminds me of a certain other winter-themed song about Pinkie…Coincidence? Probably.

Quicksilver – I Can Relate | Hard Rock

Both as a celebration of reaching 500 subscribers, and in anticipation of his upcoming album, Quicksilver has posted a new song from the soon to be released Six And One. A hard rock song for the toughest mare in Ponyville, this one’s for Applejack and her good old dedication. Congrats on reaching 500 subs Quicksilver, looking forward to the album!

µThunder & FritzyBeat – Arimaspi (Twizzy Remix) | Indie Dance

It’s kinda indie dance, I don’t even know how to describe this, it’s so unique! Possibly inspired by Metapony’s take on the song, Twizzy has recently remixed µThunder and Fritzy’s Arimaspi, and it sounds fantastic. Go take a listen and you’ll see why I found it hard to pin down to a genre.

Rhyme Flow & Nuttin’ But Stringz – The Concert | Hip-Hop / Rap

He’s back for the first time since last year! Rhyme Flow’s done a Fritzy and added his own Octavia-themed vocals to an already existing instrumental. This song is all about Octavia’s  fluctuating drive and passion for the music she plays, something that I’m sure resonates with y’all other musicians reading this.

Spectra & Acouste Wholenote – Behind Those Eyes (A&R Remix) | House

Oh, hello there, remix! Andrew & Ric, two untapped gems starting to emerge in the fandom music scene remixed mine and Acouste’s song Behind Those Eyes into something that keeps the mellow feel of the original but is simultaneously hard-hitting. I’m really looking forward to seeing more stuff from these guys in the future!
