[BP] Drixale – Sing For The Night | Chillout
As part of Everfree Park Ranger’s (formerly Balloon Party) newest album “Everfree Park: After Hours” Drixale brings us this wonderful and calm piece. A combination of soft synths, some vocal chops and even lyrics from Drixale himself makes this a calm and catchy piece that I’ll have on repeat for a while.
Totalspark – Paradigm | Liquid Drum & Bass
This sweet Liquid Drum & Bass track sets the stage right away with a soft beat, shiny piano, flowing pads, deep sub bass, everything just sounds so polished and shiny. You’ll absolutely love it. Yet it’s not super intense. Just exactly what you need to take a moment, sit back, relax… And imagine something like a beautiful field of flowers, or a flowing river. I could go on and on, but you should listen and experience this track for yourself.
Jeff Burgess – Before These Mighty Skies | Alternative Cover Album
Once upon a time in the magical time of 2013, Le Soldat Pony released “Before These Mighty Skies” as an innovative, indie/alternative sound that was quite new and distinctive to the fandom. Le Soldat may not be a common name nowadays, but another longtime fandom musician certainly hasn’t forgotten.

[BP] Direct Current – Recipe for Disaster | Emo
Direct Current brings us his contribution from the Balloon Party 5 after party, dedicated to Fluttershy nonetheless! I have to say that I found this a very interesting listen. I personally enjoy spoken word rap a lot, and I can definitely hear how well the rhyme schemes work out here. I laughed out loud when I came to realize this was parody looking at the food-related lyrics! But honestly, I did find some words to be pretty impactful. The backing track definitely adds to the flavour (no pun intended) and the tone set here. And parody or not, I do think that within the jokes, it subtly encourages the listener to think somehow. So whether you’re in for a good laugh or need some encouragement no matter how unique it gets across within this track, this is for you.
