Awesome vocals from Lyde Octave and Vylet himself, a funky feel and some killer sound design all combine to make this new track one of my recent favourites from him. I’m a sucker for good glitch hop so it’s pretty awesome to see some more of it from Vylet. The combination of jazzy groove and contemporary bass design is something that seems to come pretty well to Vylet and it definitely suits his style.

SlightlyAmiss has released a pretty cool prog-style rock track about Nurse Redheart. There’s not a whole lot of content pertaining to her recently, so it’s cool to hear a song like this. It explores some pretty dark emotions throughout, with Amiss’ vocals complementing a pretty strong instrumental.

A slow and dark tune, Sonic Rainboom’s psytrance remix of Panic‘s pretty heavy electro track Cold builds through the track terrifically and makes awesome use of the melody from the original. I especially enjoy the care taken with all the auxiliary sounds unitised throughout the piece that add a lot of depth.
Off Dynamite Grizzly’s latest album The Horses Really Like Techno (that you should really grab), this Faith Mix of Trickery showcases really well the musician’s talent at producing delightful Techno that just feels so unique, soothing, and blissful. It’s something I can’t really explain, but this track just works so well, and puts you in an enjoyable state, it almost feels nostalgic somewhat. Perhaps it is just one of the aspects of the magic of music!
Prey has been consistently releasing awesome solo music for a while, and we are now delighted to welcome the musician’s take on New Wave from the fire duo of MrMehster and N. Hollow! Mostly instrumental, this bouncy Trap remix made with love displays Prey’s talent and musical style producing underground sick beats. Definitely a collector remix!
Another collab of many wonders featuring the rapping coolness of N. Hollow, this Discord-themed track also makes a delightful use of fittingly distorted samples from the show, laying them out over a great melodic instrumental, and making the whole song quite an awesome tribute to the Deity of Dissonance!
Editor’s note: Not to be confused with Sprocket’s song of the same name 😉

If you like your orchestral music powerful and epic, you’re in for a treat here as Aurelleah’s released another of their well-crafted pieces. Featuring some beautiful composition and heavy percussive influences, the piece evolves from a bright and light beginning to a more energetic climax throughout the course of the track.

Here’s a little something from the latest Seeds of Kindness album, with one of its regular contributors! Sprocket brings a piece that steadily evolves over time, aping the way a phoenix’s life may play out with themes of life, of death, and of rebirth.

iblank2apples’ original piece is one of my all time favourite pony music tracks, so whenever I see a remix of it, it always excites me. This is my personal favourite remix of it, as it takes and builds upon the emotions initially present with some beautiful sampling, not to mention awesome percussion and bass design that helps to augment the melodic nature of the original. Most of the neurofunk-style drum & bass in the fandom is pretty dark and edgy but this piece is decidedly upbeat, and pulls off the desired atmosphere wonderfully.

DJT showcases his abilities to make the more relaxed side of electronic music work just as well as the energetic side. Sweetness and Lightning combines beautiful Fluttershy vocal chops with some pared back percussion, pretty piano and soft ambient sounds in a really lovely way.
