General Mumble – Ponys2mp | Electro
There was a Ponystomp, now there’s a Ponys2mp. It’s pretty self-explanatory.
Daniel Ingram – A Friend For Life (Snow Swirl Remix) Remake | Drum & Bass
This is actually Snow Swirl’s second venture at remixing this song – their original version came out a couple of years ago. Like the first version, this has a nice smooth liquid DnB feel to it, and combines piano and string sounds with melodic synths to keep the whole thing super upbeat. It’s not that heavy because it doesn’t need to be! Just happy vibes c:
Rubber – Hoodlums Ft. Versal, Blitzy, Kozzy (Prod. DJ Nu-Mark) | Hip-Hop
Big brony rap collabs like this are always a treat to listen to! Backed up by a classic 00s-style beat, Rubber, Versal, Blitzy and Kozzy assert their status as the kids you don’t want to mess with. Their flow is on point, and they each bring their own vocal style to the table while sounding great in combination together.
lunar_amity & Seyden – Friendship Was Magic pt. 1 (Desperation) | Metal
You all knew this was coming at some point. You know, musicians putting their talents towards the big mystery of what happened between generations? We drive right into the head of Big Alicorn bookhorse, emotionally broken and her back to the wall. Holy Celestia, does this aggressive string of guitars and drums bring down this feeling of desperation and despair! Seyden’s vocals and screams rip through this track, grabbing at your dang soul to help poor twilight cope with the loss of her friends and unsure of how to move forward with her rule of Equestria. Could this be the very point where the magic in Equestria started to fade? An incredibly haunting guitar solo tops this track off courtesy of Biscuit! Brony metal goodness at your delight, my friends!
Daniel Ingram – Flawless (Songbird Choir Remix) | Electro Pop
Flawless was one of those songs with one of the most thought-provoking messages in the show. Daniel Ingram provided a dramatic touch in how the mane 6 understood themselves so much. The music itself was bold, deep, and intimate in the mane six being so unafraid in expressing their character flaws. Songbird, instead of going to that level of grandeur, here opts here for a more toe-tapping melody. The same emotion is there, but it’s more lightly and subtly in the theme. The piano and the profound use of these deep synth harmonies within the melody, at almost horn-like beep-boop thunder, roll with the ups and downs. It’s very different from Daniel’s track, but honestly, it gives way the same deep and personal touch with the mane six expressing themselves to the world about this subject. It’s what you honesty expect from someone like Songbird Choir to stand out in this manner!
SpinScissor – no mates | Outsider House
SpinScissor is no stranger to experimentation an he is back with a minimalistic and spacey house track. ‘no mates’ is adorned with an array of different sound samples from conversations to ringing phones and detuned synths, coupled with a snappy bassline. It exudes a lo-fi aesthetic in its production and its visuals. A tale of the turbulence of life and past friendships and hopeful lasting friendships, this one is an interesting listen for sure!
Koron Korak – A Moment Of Peace [Chillout]
Koron has taken a more chilled out route than a lot of his other recent music with this track. Featuring gentle percussion and some bright synth design, the Zouk-influenced moombah beat is built on top of with plenty of nice composition throughout. The piano and woodwind-style instrumentation is definitely a highlight.
Nicolas Dominique – Cuddles | Chillout
(Listen to the original here!)
Nicolas Dominique has an incredible talent for making pieces of music that turn on the serotonin in your noggin’ in a big way! Cuddles is the latest release from his latest album, Lanterns. This song makes you want to sit and imagine Celestia and Luna are there with you in a vibrant atmosphere. Your eyes close as this deeply warm and electric melody surrounds you in a symphony. It feels like a legion of epic positive vibes hugging you tightly! Give Mr. Dominique a round of applause for this dynamite revamp of this track as you kick back and relax! As always, this Qilin asks you to judge for yourself!
MathematicPony – Inspiration | Pop
Did you know that Rarity’s element of harmony was originally planned to be Inspiration instead of generosity? MathematicPony knows that, and created a vibe that only she could imagine! With a quick-running synth playing throughout, Math brings out the anxiety of work and pressure to meet personal goals and standards as the instrument persists in the background of the song. A contemporary pop mix sets the stage for passionate vocals telling the relatable message of a pony working hard and staying up late to complete important projects; dealing with the existential wonder of inspiration, aspiration, and legacy.
