❗❗❗ New artist alert 🔔🔔 This right here is rawrity’s debut – a chill hyperpop song featuring sound bandit all about the importance of community within the fandom. It’s got a sort of comforting nostalgia about it, even though it’s in a very modern style. I’m definitely looking forward to hearing more from rawrity!
Skyshard – Her Adventure Begins | Epic Orchestral
Considering that this comes from a collection of songs telling a story about heroes, this song from Skyshard has a very fitting style and soundscape! Taken from their most recent album, Tiny Sky, it certainly sounds like the introduction to an epic tale. There’s a great use of a recurring motif and a nice bit of modal interchange that I personally always love to hear in music.

ALostCarolean – The Queen of The Hive | Darkwave
Nightmare Night may be over, but we can keep the theme dark if we want! This latest offering from ALostCarolean takes some 80s-inspired synthwave sounds and combines it with heavily distorted and driving bass to create this imposing theme for Chryssy. But it’s not just another Changeling-themed song we’ve got here, but also the promise of an entire EP dedicated to the shapeshifters coming in about a month’s time! If you like this sort of thing, keep an eye on ALC’s YouTube channel for more…
EveryDayDashie – Equestria Hustle | Hardstyle
Every day we’re dashin’! Back again with a so-called “Chinese hardstyle” track, EveryDayDashie has created something that blends a slightly softer kind of hardstyle with sounds of traditional Chinese instruments and melodies. They imagine how life in an Equestrian city might be, and how it compares to their own experience. You should check this out even if, like me, you’re not typically a fan of hardstyle – it’s much more melodic than you might expect!
Kakofonous A. Dischord & flankƨy – flankƨy / kakofonous a. dischord | Experimental Album
Two friends have decided to blow the dust off their collabs and bring them out to the light for us to enjoy!

CW: mild gore
First time feature here for Dat1Pony! The flow of their lyrics in this is almost hypnotic, and combines perfectly with the spooky sounding beat from royalty-free producer Pendo and the artwork. Good to see the brony rap game’s still creating good players.
SOUND BANDIT – KISSING MY HOOVES GOODBYE | Hyperpop
Sometimes, all you need from a song is a solid vibe, and this SOUND BANDIT release is a prime example. Warm synthy instrumentation and chops from show classic “Winter Wrap-Up” form a uniquely cozy yet peculiar atmosphere, a signature touch of the producer.
