TheHappyPony takes us to the wub zone with this remix of WUB by BVYANX! Their take on the original keeps things heavy with the brutal bass drops and even vocal samples that sound like they were pulled from the show! Brings back those 2012 memories, doesn’t it?
Branrich VanIster – A Diamond At Sea | Soundtrack
A Diamond at Sea is pure serenity. Showcasing Branrich’s familiar jazzy style, the song sets out to depict a scenario of Rarity showing off her graceful beauty on a boat. Nothing gets in the way of her lovely looks. Although the video doesn’t showcase the beautiful art that inspired the song, it’s still a lovely sight to sea. I’ll be here all week.
Ponytronic – Yet, You Don’t Care | Chillout
Ponytronic is on a roll. Yet, You Don’t Care is a trippy and cathartic track featuring rapid synth sounds and cute vocal sounds in front of a chill drum track. This track’s happy demeanour is more of a mask in front of its true meaning: going through the trauma of past love as the dark feelings slowly begin to take over. I’m sure we’ve all gone through something like this before. As Ponytronic requests, if you’ve got anyone you care about in your life, cherish them, especially in these trying times.
UndreamedPanic – Miss You | House
UndreamedPanic returns with his first original of the year. While it was sadly rejected from the upcoming Ponies at Dawn compilation, he’s released it for us after giving it a good cleanup! Miss You is a lovely and glitzy house track with lovely vocal chops and synths that fit the absolute definition of ear candy. The song even takes on a chiptune influence, especially in the middle where we’re subjected to an amazing 8-bit styled solo before jumping right back into the bouncy sweetness. What a banger!
Evdog & AnimatronicPony – Dreammaker | Trance
After a year in the making, Evdog and AnimatronicPony‘s collaboration Dreammaker is finally here! All about dreams and hopes, this track showcases some emotional vocal deliveries from Evdog over a beautiful trance instrumental with beautiful pianos and choirs making the meat and potatoes of the song, and some show vocal chops to add the finishing touches. This song is a dream itself that I sure don’t wanna wake up from!
Perne – Sirens Lament | Gabber
Imagine a future where the Sirens won the Battle of the Bands… Courtesy of Equestrian Terror Corps comes Sirens Lament, the title track from Pernegyre’s upcoming album! In contrast to his last release, this one showcases an overwhelmingly heavy gabber style that belongs in a hardcore rave room! The drums charge through everything that comes in its way as the bass rumbles loudly while the occasional voice sample from one of the Dazzlings pops in occasionally. Safe to say that gabber is the brutal death metal of the EDM world!
PrinceWhateverer – Odds Against Us (feat. Sable Symphony) | Rock
PrinceWhateverer my friends doesn’t just make hard hitting headbangers all the time. He also has the knack for making heart warming rock and roll from time to time. Odds against us, tells the story of Retro City, A song commissioned for a friend’s OC. Retro is fighting her own demons that stand in her way of becoming a wonderbolt. But she is not alone. Prince wonderfully has put a tune together that tells fell good tale of over coming the odds. The lyric may be talking about Retro’s bound with Spitfire and how she doesn’t have to take this on alone. But message could be anyone’s fight for there dreams. The guitars, drums and composition are all there in Prince’s style to aid in in telling this tale. We all need to smile right now with chaos going on in the world. Feel good tales are needed. As always This Qilin askes you to judge for yourself
Perne – Hey Sweetie! | Trance
Perne returns with a new standalone track based around Sweetie Belle, and this one sure amps up the sweetness with the bouncy melodies. Hey Sweetie is a very fast yet beautiful trance song with heavenly choirs and memorable synth hooks. It’s like something straight out of the 90s or 2000s with all the stylistic sound choices, and I’ll sure call that a win in my book!
Altius Volantis – Lullaby | Ambient
The result of a sleepless night, Lullaby seeks to soothe your insomnia. This piece is dreamy and laid-back, relying on soft layers of synths and piano chords to create a cozy atmosphere. Towards the end, a lovely set of pad chords comes in, indicating that the sleep realm is very close. If you need something to help you sleep, get some headphones on and turn this up!
Acouste Wholenote – Stuck | Pop Punk
Acouste Wholenote returns with a song about Roseluck, a song in which the lyrics speak a story of persistence. This rustic alternative piece reminds me a ton of some of the older rock music in this community’s history. That and the melancholic sound consequently makes this song abundantly nostalgic for me. Blue emotions bleed through easily with this bittersweet pop-punk piece, and I do hope that Acouste Wholenote makes more music in the weeks to come.
