Good morning! Sunrise is a track from Altius’ upcoming album Rusty Wings Tales, and the feeling of the morning has been captured perfectly. Soft and slow orchestral elements like the piano as the main instrument really do well to paint a picture of the morning sun, especially when the bells and strings join in without sounding overcrowded or busy. Doesn’t it just wanna make you throw open the curtains and get started on your day?

LaunchSix – Conduit | Dubstep
The fourth track from Gravity has just landed. Conduit tells a story about a mare who gets the opportunity to travel in space, only to find that she was being used as nothing more than a guinea pig. Musically, the song sees strong dubstep elements marry little pieces of the wonky genre, starting off with a slightly disjointed drum pattern before building up in front of a space-y orchestral-esque synth sound to a powerful drop. The overall vibe really feels like an erratic trip through space!
Lukas Vokrinek – Out of Time | Soundtrack
Time is running out. Lukas Vokrinek’s latest track paints a vivid picture of a situation that demands urgency. The orchestral sounds go through a handful of phases in quick bursts, ultimately building up to a deceptive cadence represented by a faint piano chord. Songs like this are truly powerful.
Burning Gryphon – Deevoted To Dee Artist | Pop Punk
WE have a brand new member to join the brony punk rock family. Everyone, this is Burning Gryphon. Please give him a warm welcome. Because he has some pretty good music making talent. What a nice way to show off your talent by making a tribute to a fellow artist that has inspired him to do better things. This song at it core has the grungy hard nosed dirty guitar work. Plus the pace that most punk rock fans will love and will know right away when they hear it. The drums and bass are there loud and clear. His vocals are full of love and heart as it should be. Burning Gryphon is lovely in his singing to the brony artist known as Dripponi. Who helped mold him into the person he is today. His lyrics fondly showcase that devotion in this hard and fast punk rock ballad. Give this guy a follow on his youtube channel, he’s just getting started. As always, this Qilin asks you to judge for yourself.
Nicolas Dominique – The Worlds Upon Us | Chillout
This space-themed track contains chill music and lots of vibes, as well as ponies in space, and who doesn’t love ponies in space?? The music itself sounds atmospheric (which fits quite well), and it is easy to get lost in the the incredible electronic/synth. Basically, this track could be played for hours and would still be as enjoyable as the first listen!
Kallo Skull – Land of Ember | Soundtrack
Stepping into the Dragon Lands is a dangerous expedition. Land of Ember is a dark and intimidating orchestral piece that takes influence from Indian music with the inclusion of a sitar alongside the familiar orchestral elements, giving it the vibe that you’re really walking through a hot, rocky land where beneath you sits a massive magma pool. That low rumbling percussion is especially menacing…
ƥRYZ & Layl РBest Friends | Happy Hardcore
DELTARYZ and Layl have collaborated to create an exuberant song with the nuances of a happy hardcore track. The gleeful sound of this track, I find, is very reminiscent of the mounds of early 2010’s happy hardcore music I’ve listened to by artists like Lapfox Trax. The synth elements of this track bring out a blissful response that truly does reflect the idiosyncrasies of Silverstream’s eternal mood. Listen to feel like Silverstream!
Aaron Breeze – Theme Song (Covering Daniel Ingram) | Jazz/Orchestral
The introduction that we’re all so familiar with has never sounded so musically inspiring! Pianist Aaron Breeze has taken the Friendship is Magic theme music and combined it with jazz and gospel influences to create a medley of sounds in celebration of season 9 of My Little Pony. What better way to show homage? This rendition of Daniel Ingram’s timeless song shows such a musical proficiency that it becomes hard to believe it started with improvisation. The piece commences with Breeze’s piano, which serves as the cornerstone of the arrangement, accompanied by the embellishments of strings and woodwinds. An electric bass and subtle strokes on a drum set slowly lead the piece into an outburst of soul and funk sounds. The arrangement ends with one face-melting orchestral chorus, and the sophisticated sound of Aaron’s jazziest playing. These types of creations were what YouTube was made for, check it out!
VocallegraEnby – Stay Here Forever | Electropop
Something quick and sugary for the fandom. Stay Here Forever features the vocal talents of the Vocaloid Avanna who sings about how the fandom has impacted our lives (or you could interpret it as the mane 6 singing about how they’ve left their mark on Equestria) with a lovely melody and soothing electronic backing. Songs about our fandom never cease to be a joy to the ear!
DAϟH and Nyancat380 – Ketamine | Splittercore
The clash of the fandom’s heavy EDM stars DAϟH and Nyancat380 has just burst onto the scene. Ketamine sets out to commit aural assault in a brutal yet pleasurable manner with its incredibly harsh synths and distorted drums and vocal samples. While we don’t recommend you stock up on ket, we do recommend you listen to this song and let it make you go wild!
