Done as a commission, Vylet’s switched up his recent style a bit more to swing this track more into a rock/pop direction. As the name suggests, it plays along the same theme as the song from The Perfect Pear with a smoother feel to it.

FlutterGoth (Elias Frost) – Scream in a Void | Metal
NB: This was originally posted on Equestria Daily on 15 April 2018.
Elias Frost has brought FlutterGoth to life as a musical artist, expertly putting many of a dialogue from her episode to some excellent metal music that suits it perfectly. Emo Flutter metal is definitely quite the aesthetic, especially with some additional vocaloid-style backing vocals too.
[P@D] NeverLastStanding – Land Of Harmony | Orchestral
NLS has been trying his hand out at Orchestral compositions a lot in recent months, and this one comes from the latest Ponies At Dawn album. He’s also written about the song at great length in the description and comments better than I could ever speculate, so check that out for some EXTREME detail.
Daniel Ingram – Open Up Your Eyes (174UDSI Remix feat. WubcakeVA) | Trance
174UDSI’s taken his classic trance/house style and collabed with Wubcake to make their own version of Open Up Your Eyes. Saw chord stabs and vocal stutters are the standout parts of this track for me.
Dynamite Grizzly – COUTURE BABY | Techno
Dynamite’s back at it again in their own element. There’s nobody that does techno quite like Grizzly, and hopefully now that there’s new episode material we can expect to see more music from them!
Vylet Pony – Twinkle (feat. Namii) | Indie Pop
NB: This was originally posted on Equestria Daily on 14 April 2018.
Vylet certainly knows how to create some grogeous and cosy atmospheres, which is definitely the case here in this piece about Starlight and Trixie. With a mixture of his own and Namii’s vocals melding together beautifully, the combination of acoustic and electronic instrumental elements also work to create a really enjoyable piece.
Equestria Electric Symphony Orchestra – The Ponies Sleep Tonight (The Tokens ponified) | Pop
I think the thing that impresses me the most about this isn’t necessarily the ponified lyrics, but more those high notes that Moon Flame hits in this! It’s one thing to rewrite a pop song about ponies, but another to be able to actually sing something like this too. Nice job.

strigidae – fuzzy purple pancakes | Indie Dance
NB: This was originally posted on Equestria Daily on 13 April 2018.
Cute, soft tunes are the order of the day from strigidae most of the time, but this time the production levels feel higher than normal, and the energy is a step up too, with some awesome use of fun tropical-feeling sound design and vocal chanting to go with the main vocals. Check it out for some great vibes about Starlight and Trixie!
