Watch in awe as the great and powerful Spikey Wikey showcases some electronic talent as always! Showtime is a Trixie-based drum & bass track that puts a heavy focus on the bass, mixing softer piano chords with low and gritty bass along with familiar vocal samples of Trixie from Boast Busters. Can’t go wrong with some soft jungle!

Ocean Melody – Forever Free | Orchestral
It’s great to see Ocean Melody creating more and more often. Forever Free is their latest piece, and the atmosphere is exactly that: free. Dynamically, its soft and calming with quiet pianos, string and wind instruments taking up centre stage while the ambience resembles nature, like the sound of running water and faint wind. As much as I love the powerful and grandiose songs, the slow burners like this deserve a lot of recognition too.
Mogul Dash – Get it Started (feat. Pinkie Rose and Niko de Ruiz) | Glitch-Hop
After well over half a decade in the making, Mogul Dash’s collab with Pinkie Rose and Niko de Ruiz (formerly known as Buffalo Brony) is finally here! While a shorter version was uploaded in late 2018, this is the finished product and it was definitely worth the wait. Pinkie Rose delivers fantastic harmonic vocals while Niko puts forth a strong set of rapped verses over a catchy instrumental with powerful bass and drums reminiscent of an 80s track!
Quicksilver – No Table Manners | Ska Punk
Need something silly and enjoyable? Quicksilver’s got you covered. No Table Manners is a fast ska punk beat about Twilight’s hayburger addiction and table manners, or lack thereof. She’s described as a burger-demolishing machine driven by nothing but an intense appetite. Check out that lead guitar riff. Sounds like something straight out of a Blink-182 song!
Koron Korak & Mane In Green – Choices (Requiem for Cerebre Arkor) | Orchestral
Oh boy… Koron Korak’s latest track is a collaboration with Mane In Green, and Choices sees the two come together to make the fifth tribute to the late Cerebre-Arkor, a graphics artist as well as Koron’s brother. This track in particular goes through five orchestral phases, with choirs abound, transitioning into an emotional string and violin section before everything fades out and all we’re left with is a piano. These two musicians have done an amazing job at converging their own talents in a single musical outlet and the emotion dripping from it is palpable.
Daniel Ingram – Find a Way (Snow Swirl Remix) | Drum & Bass
This fandom continues to inspire people to try creating something. Experimenting with ideas to try to mold their craft into their identity. Please welcome Snow Swirl. The project? Remixing Daniel Ingram’s “Find a Way” from the season 3 finale. Drum&Bass is the genre at hand. There are some nice things going on here with the use of the melodies to heighten Twilight’s emotions of restoring her friends to normal. and the use of the vocal chops of twilight realizing she knew how to fix this to aid with the story telling. It’s a nice start that like any new musician has room to grow and improve. Yes, overall production needs work. But I encourage us to support Snow Swirl as this was a good effort and it shows this remix was nice. Give some brony love to this musician. I hear talent in this track. As always, this Qilin asks you to judge for yourself.
Mane In Green – Inner Peace | Orchestral
Mane In Green returns with her first solo original of the year, Inner Peace. Inspired by a dream about Fluttershy who finds peace in her own little circle (hence the title), this track is soft, calming and peaceful. Plenty of soft orchestral sounds along with heavenly bells and what sounds like an electric bass guitar. 6 minutes of absolute bliss…
William Anderson – Friendship Report (BGM Recreation by Harmonic Six) | Soundtrack
Dear Princess Celestia,
Today I listened to Harmonic Six’s latest release, a recreation of the Friendship Report background music from the first season of MLP:FiM. I really got a nostalgic vibe from it, especially considering how well it was recreated from the ground up. It’s short but sweet, and I hope you also enjoy it.

Ice Angel & OZENE – Cold (Tw3Lv3 Remix) | Drum & Bass
As part of a remix competition hosted by Ice Angel, Tw3Lv3 presents his winning remix of the IA and OZENE collab Cold! While the original was a slow trek through the ice cold wastelands, Tw3Lv3’s take is a lot quicker, showcasing less gloomy synth work over a fast drum beat, charging through the snow. For a song titled Cold, this sure feels warm as can be!
MirroredReality – Saffron | Electro House
Fitting of the titular character, Saffron is an atmospheric track that combines MirroredReality’s signature EDM style with elements from Indian music! The powerful bass and synths combined with a pinch of spice sure make for a nice change in the scene, creating something both relaxing and pumping.
