Pop Girl Summer isn’t over yet, so there’s still time to enjoy this upbeat bop from a power pop duo! Evershade’s fun and breezy approach to pop music is a great match for Namii’s guest vocals on this song about being the most glamorous pony at the poolside. Grab a drink, take a listen and imagine yourself living the high life with Pipp Petals.

[Equinity] sleepy eyes – Back To Equestria | Hands Up

Number six on Equinity’s expedition album, Sleepy eye’s “Back to Equestria” is a short but suave bop featuring a lovely array of different sections. It opens with orchestral-like synth design, quickly building up with arpeggios and spoken word hyping the return of the elements, leading right into the drop. The middle is met with brassier synths and Sweetie Belle chops, and towards the end, there’s some really crunchy percussion for a great finishing touch!

Childlike Wonder feat. GreenyPika – Magic (covering The Living Tombstone) | Midtempo

Childlike Wonder has visited an old song from The Living Tombstone with from all the way back in 2012! Adding a fresh coat of paint and modernizing the mix while still nailing the classic style and feel of the original with the familiar upbeat melody and catchy vocals and an updated refined feel to the plucky synths and rolling basslines. Its quite interesting to bounce between both this cover and the original to see just how its evolved after over a decade. So don’t just give this one a listen I encourage you to go back and listen to the original as well; conveniently linked within the description!

[Equinity] Yashn – Lost in the Everfree | Orchestral

Featured in Equinity 06, Yashn has constructed a wonderfully dark orchestration here. Opening on tense strings and an ominous whisper of textures this song is episodic in nature going from navigating the mysterious eerie lands to sudden full blown chase sequences with frantic movements and a wide array of instrumentation without being overcrowded! Don’t get lost after dark, and do not trust the shadows.

Vylet knocks it out once again with a very emotional mouthful of a song!

Japkozjad & Acid Applejack – Dreamland | Happy Hardcore

Japkozjad and Acid Applejack have teamed up for one hell of a banger! Happy Hardcore is a very colourful genre and they use that to their full advantage! Featuring a beautiful arrangement for the verses, the melody will get stuck in your head right from the get-go with a fun piano arrangement before the synths take over with full force! The verse is enough to get you hyped but mix of a melodic and drum build ups raises the excitement through the roof before the drop kicks you out your chair! The drop features a lot of fun elements, most notably some very audible hi-hats that bring a really nice flow into the whole track, and then there’s the kicks, the kicks are probably not what you’d expect from a Happy Hardcore track! While usually you’d expect the kick to take full center stage, in this track the kick actually does not do that, interestingly enough it gives a lot of space for the melody to really shine and show off, and the kick is no classic kick either, it’s a light and refreshing sound, almost sounding like a laser kick! This track is pretty much the definition of upbeat Happy Hardcore so definitely give it several good listens!
