Nugget has a wide range of musical abilities and this time ventures into the orchestral side of composing. “Roses” is the instrumental journey of Roseluck and her existential thoughts as she lies in the grass. The piece is simple and makes for easy listening, with string instruments and bells accentuating around a piano melody.
Makaryo – Time Is Now Here (Rosace Pony remix) | Downtempo
Rosace Pony is masterful when it comes to transporting you to another world, especially one of bliss and feels. This time, he recognized a simple, beautiful melody that Makaryo utilized and built this remix to expand on what made that track special. Highlighting the synth hook and Fluttershy AI vocals, Rosace adds different parts and instruments at different times to piece together a continually moving experience around a simple concept. With added reverb to feel big, drop sections, epic drums at times, and more, you won’t be able to get enough of this track.
PumpkinZ – Rewind | Chill Trap
PumpkinZ is well-versed in creating chill, vibe-y tunes. His latest track, “Rewind”, features sharp synth plucks backed by a smooth bassline. A classic trap beat keeps it flowing, while still retaining the chill nature of the piece. Let the vibes flow with this perfectly balanced chill trap track.
Pit Crew – Don’t Kill the Part of You That’s Cringe | Indie Pop
CW: Profanity
Chuckles and the Pit Crew are back with what I can only describe as the fanart anthem! “Don’t Kill the Part of You That’s Cringe” is all about being creative, making art, and putting it out there – regardless of your level of expertise. The lyrics are about designing a cringy, hot pink, Mary Sue, waifu material, OC purely for the fun of it, and it’s accompanied by a time lapse of ArwenCuack drawing a wonderful alicorn OC decked in rainbow swag galore! The instrumental also sparkles with its bells and bouncy bass; definitely make sure to check out this bop!
Blurain – Dear Luna | Alt. Rock / Metal
This song from Blurain, standing at nearly 7 minutes in length, is possibly his most ambitious single yet! Split into 5 parts, it moves from ballad to heavier pop-punk/metal to ambient instrumental as he draws on his own past experiences and calls on Luna to help him defeat his own Tantabus. Each change keeps you holding on to hear more – definitely worth the whole 7-minute experience!
Makaryo – WILL I EVER MAKE MY OWN MARK | Indie Rock
Makaryo has been on fire for the last year or so – creating incredible animations and dipping their toe into music production as well! This track features an anguishing Misty looking for approval and singing her desired for autonomy. Utilizing smooth, clean guitars and a simple drum kit, Makaryo achieves an intimate, indie rock feel that encapsulates the somber, emotional tones of the track.
EveryDayDashie – Aloha Equestria | Chillout
Grab your sunscreen – we’re heading to Hawaii next in EveryDayDashie’s musical world tour! This soundtrack-like piece just creates a nice, mellow backing track to accompany your sunbathing, featuring the sounds of a lap steel guitar and Dashie’s own ukulele playing. Now, if you’ll excuse me, I gotta go find my sunglasses…
ALostCarolean – All Hail The Queen | Darksynth
Need some dark, industrial-sounding synthwave but also enjoy classical pieces with multiple movements? ALostCarolean might just have you covered here with this 8-and-a-half-minute composition inspired by the bug queen herself. Grinding bass and floating lead synths pair together to make something that’s both atmospherically spooky and in-your-face scary.
Saphire Systrine – Polaris’ Goodbye | Ambient
Supplementing a short story set in a dystopian future, Saphire Systrine takes you away on a journey there. Perfectly capturing the mystery of the setting, the music introduces you to a world of mystery. Especially once the synth hits, the song will draw you in completely. Augmented by a thrill inducing music video, you will experience both a gripping and action-packed ride, so make sure to give it a listen!
