EveryDayDashie – 3Pink1Pie (Pi Day Special) | Orchestral

Here we have a nice little piano-and-strings tune here from EveryDayDashie in celebration of 14 March, (Pinkie) Pi(e) Day. Taking inspiration from math YouTuber 3Blue1Brown as well, this song also works like background music, almost like something from a puzzle game soundtrack. We can’t guarantee it’ll help with your homework, but give it a try just in case!

[ASOS] FORSAKE & Paloris – Wishes (ft. PegasYs) | House

Exploring the desires of being in love with your best friend but knowing it can never be, ‘Wishes’ comes from A State of Sugar’s ‘Biscuit’ album and is a powerful track indeed. Soothing vocals, a powerful melody and a smooth progression that really sells the longing feeling this track gives me! If you’re a house music aficionado who likes meaning in their music, you’ve got the perfect track right here!

4everfreebrony – Friendship/Loyalty (feat. RE:MAKE) | Pop Rock

2 songs for the price of 1! This mashup cover from 2020 finally gets its own release to celebrate the long-awaited release of RE:MAKE’s ELEMENTS album (don’t worry, we’ll get round to posting that in time)! 4EFB’s rendition of these two fandom classics has a bit of an “unplugged” feel to it. The heavy electronic drums from the former and distorted guitars from the latter make way instead for acoustic guitar, brushed drums and I believe a cello. We also get treated to Jimmy from RE:MAKE’s guest vocals for this special rendition! Go take a listen and watch this space for more about ELEMENTS… 👀

Nyanakaru – Purification | Riddim

The artist formerly know as Nyancat380 is back with another genre-fusing banger! What starts off as a chilled jazzy tune with a bit of a lo-fi feel transforms faster than you can say “changeling” into a deep, screeching riddim bassline. I love seeing this kind of stylistic mashup and generally just more jazz influence in brony music; I hope to see more of this kind of thing from Nyanakaru in the future!

Algo at All – Land of Harmony | Chillout

Algo at All is certainly one of the most imaginative and distinctive musicians in the fandom. Every release is creative and something special to look forward to! Land of Harmony is fairly simplistic in composition, but does so much in building around a simple foundation of a chiptune-y bass and Coloratura’s titular vocal chops. Armed with some sweet chimes and a few synths, Algo at All can transport any listener to a fantasy world of warm vibes, or rather, a Land of Harmony.

ILLUMNATION – Longest Night II: The Dawn (feat. Koron Korak) | Folk

ILLUMNATION always manage to create wonderful folk atmospheres, and this track is yet another lovely example of that. With beautiful vocals from Velvet, there’s also some very cool and creative instrumentation usage that gives an adventurous atmosphere to the track.

Skyshard – A Dawn for a New Destiny (Boutique of Rarities: The Demo Session Vol 1.) | Electronic/Orchestral

This release from Skyshard is a little different. Originally an unreleased track from two years prior, A Dawn for a New Destiny is now part of a “Demo Sessions” volume; The Boutique of Rarities: The Demo Session Vol 1. to be specific.

A Dawn for a New Destiny is a piece with a hauntingly clockwork feel to it with a music box taking the center stage followed with strong and tense crescendos and falls of strings and even some subtle crunchy noise to add some additional intrigue and flare. The climax has definitely given me a couple chills!

Another highlight from this collection would be the Dune 3 Sequences. The buttery Smoothness of the synths and constantly evolving nature really stands out to me and how the three of them feel connected in a sense is just a really cool feature of this volume that I HAD to point out.

Beneath The Sea’s’ early draft is a neat piece as well, very ambient in design with a strong yet subtle piano presence and a very mysterious, sci-fi feel. Constantly progressing and you can feel the darkness and wetness seeping everywhere!

Inspired by the good old days of getting the gang together to record a few tapes, ship it off to a label and cry over the wasted time and money when it gets rejected. Filled with a whopping fifty tracks of assorted origin! Ranging from everything from early concepts to live synthesis performances, memes, cancelled EPs, alternate versions or full rejected songs, this sessions volume has a bit of everything! There’s even a strange ambient piece called ‘Let your ears take it” which Skyshard can’t even deduce what its purpose is!

SnowShovel – Irresponsible (For a day or two) [Feat. StealingShad3z & BreeBree] | Rock

Ever have those days where you just wanna drop every care in the world for a while, possibly to the detriment of future-you? I certainly have, and from the tone of this song, it seems our favorite book-horse has too. Snowshovel nails the classic rock vibes here, which serve as the smoke-filled pool hall where Shad3z’ and Bree’s vocals are your double Screwdriver; heavy, gritty, and it sounds like concentrated delinquent fun (as well as a member of the repeat club!)

Audio

SOUND BANDIT – DIMENSIONAL (ft. NIKEDUNK & GULO) | Hyperpop

SOUND BANDIT never ceases to amaze me with their production and visuals. A slower, heavier tune, this one has a powerful trap influenced feeling and the occasional heavily processed MLP sample. The vocals have a lot going on. From distorted melodic riffs to the rhythmic pitch glides, ‘DIMENSIONAL’ is a short, yet powerful song.

4EverfreeBrony – By The Wind (feat. MEMJ0123, Metajoker, Whirldwind, & CyrilTheWolf) | Pop Rock

No stranger to making fun, upbeat pop rock songs, 4EverfreeBrony’s newest track, By The Wind, offers a fresh display of his finely-honed talent.  Insightful lyrics delivered with pristine vocal harmonies by 4EverfreeBrony and MEMJ0123 are supercharged by energetic piano, drums, and bass provided by Metajoker, Whirldwind, and CyrilTheWolf, respectively. Together, these talented musicians tell a poignant and relatable story of a couple sailing across the ocean, blown by strong winds of epic change.  The couple is scarred and rowing hard, unsure of their survival and uncertain of the future.  With such a potent message, By The Wind is nevertheless uplifting and fun, encouraging faith over fear for all who feel precariously blown into uncharted territory.
