Vylet Pony – Needle Pusher | Electro Pop

Vylet is back with another fun pop song! This time focused around the loveable Coco Pommel recognizing that even in the face of knowing herself and her self-worth, she will still have an uphill battle when it comes to another’s perception of what they believe you to be.

A super catchy and squishy melody is introduced to us before some screaming chiptune leads soar above our heads. Followed by Vylet’s infectious vocals combined with a patchwork symphony of glitches, 8-bit harmonies and warped and breathy pads really adds an air of mysticism. There’s a bunch of emotion here, sometimes happy; Hopeful. Other times frustrated.

What really stuck out to me was the phrase and feel before and after the 2:30 mark. A beautiful optimistic string movement, yet the vocals speak a tale of frustration adding a lot of depth to the song. After the pause we have the return of that shuffling happy melody quite literally forcing its way out of the static and all though Coco’s problems aren’t resolved, she’ll continue to do her best and make it through another day.

Dijit & R3CTIFIER – Exiled (feat. N. Hollow) (TCB CIDERFEST ’22 BOOTLEG) | Colour Bass / Hybrid Trap

Originally debuting at Ponyville Ciderfest this year, TCB’s bootleg of this heavy hitting Fallout Equestria piece from Ponies At Dawn: Rebirth finally gets a finished and full mix! Staying true to many of the trap elements of the original, this remix takes things to a new dimension of sound, bending and skewing perspective with otherworldly and intense drops. A balancing act of colour bass flare and spectacle with the grit and rawness of riddim. A new perspective on an already great song, this one is a must listen!

Ardhy Mahardhy – D A S H | Trance

It’s been a while since we’ve seen anything from Ardhy, but they’ve made a welcome return to YouTube with this trace tune. The combination of agressive and relaxing, driving and melodic elements is fitting for the genre and the mood of a high-speed solo flight.

The Wilders – Rule 4 That (EveryDayDashie Remix) | Glitch-Hop

EveryDayDashie has dived straight into the G5 scene with yet another remix, this time of a Tell Your Tale song. Considering it’s the first time they’ve made these kind of dubstep-adjacent sounds, they’ve done a pretty good job weaving all the sounds together to make a cohesive heavy beat!

SOUND BANDIT – YOU MUST SHINE | Plunderphonics

NB: Re-upload

Sound Bandit’s been discovering a newfound love for G3 and this song is the result of that. As well as a unique style of music that turns from soft pianos and pads into electronic drum sounds, this song carries the message of shining your light for everyone – be the person you are and don’t be afraid to show it!

PrinceWhateverer & MelodyBrony – The Wonderbolt and the Thief (Stereophonics ponified) | Alt. Rock

More like Stereoponics, am I rig- oh they did that in the video…

Turn-of-the-century Britrock + ponies? Yes please! This pony parody of The Bartender and the Thief does a really good job of recreating the sound of the original Sterophonics song. Prince did the vocals on this one and Melody all the instruments, so you know you’re bound to get something that sounds great.

BlackIceMusic & Namii – Memory (Dropper Vampire Remix) | Progressive House

Dropper Vampire’s put their own spin on BlackIceMusic and Namii’s album opener from Ponies at Dawn’s Zenith album and it’s managed to transform the song into something else. They’ve gone for a more melodic approach than the original with very trancey pads and adding in their own synth melodies which create a wonderfully triumphant feel every time it drops!

Anamore – Everything To Me (Misty Song) | Drum & Bass

It’s great to see that the fandom is continuing to make plenty of music inspired by the latest generation of MLP, such as this Misty-inspired drum and bass song from Anamore. She explores a headcanon of what could happen in the current season; her vocals being at the forefront of everything, but backed up by a driving dnb beat mixed with pianos and electric guitars to make it nice and heavy too!

EveryDayDashie – Pony Dance Party | Hard House

EveryDayDashie’s back at it again with his take on hardstyle with a song that’s bound to make you bounce (EDIT: apparently this style is called “hard house”). Taking inspiration from the official MLP podcast (side note – did you know there’s an official MLP podcast? I didn’t!) this is a great uptempo and fast-paced song to dance your hooves off to. Great melodies and supersaws build up to a drop with a fun triplet feel to make the whole song bounce a little bit more.
