Twilight Sparkle is, without a doubt, one of the most relatable and best-developed protagonists you could ask for in western animation history; we, as bronies, lived it through her emotions to the very end. Only Jyc Row, with his debut track on Vibeponiez: Downtown, could put it well with this score; the melodies along with this fanart celebrate Bookhorse’s legacy beautifully; at times, it may sound bittersweet that FiM is over. Fear not, my friends. Friendship never dies; Twilight thought this score lives on forever with how she touched all of us. It is an incredible emotion that makes you smile. Think about this quote by Twilight “Friendship isn’t always easy, but it’s definitely worth fighting for” close your eyes, and imagine twilight smiling with warmth. That’s what this song feels like. Well done, Jyc Row! As always, this Qilin asks you to judge for yourself.

Anytime a remix of this beloved track comes around, it comes with the expectation of pure emotional bliss. Fascinatin, an unknown in our music community, gives a club feel with the heavy bass and some nice electro drums. The fluttering guitar riffs placement is a nice touch; Fascinatin seems to have something here with the electro band effects giving that iconic melody and vocal chops his touch on such a feel-good and emotional track. Please provide them with a sub on their channel, and keep an eye on this one! As always, this Qilin asks you to judge for yourself.

[P@D] BlackIceMusic & Namii – Memory | Future Bounce
The king of Pony Bounce is back! For Ponies at Dawn’s latest album, “Zenith” BlackIceMusic brings us yet another fire Future Bounce song, and this time around we’re graced with the gorgeous voice of Namii delivering the catchy lyrics!
This track is fire from the very beginning with a banger intro that features some small vocal chops and a lot of umpf before a little break sends us straight into the first verse. Here Namii‘s incredible voice takes center stage as the kick in the beat disappears completely for a bit before coming back later to tease the build up a little. The build up starts up as you’d expect with the drums building as our drop melody slowly comes in, and some more amazing vocal chops spice things up. Next we get to the drop, which is Future Bounce perfection! We get a vocal fill right as the build up ends that shoots us straight into what is a partially lyric-supported drop; we get a fire melody that makes you get up and dance; and we get a kick that’ll punch you into next Tuesday! As the drop slowly fades Namii’s lovely vocals ease us into Verse 2. For the second build up we go a different route, and instead of the usual drum build, the big kicks start straight away, creating a sort of “drop before the drop”, before we move into the actual drop that hits just as hard as the first one, getting you up and dancing like you never knew you could! Finally we end this banger track in a gorgeous outro, supported by a few more vocal chops.

The Wilders – Let’s Make Our Mark Together (PONE177 Remix) | House
We all knew it was gonna happen, so here comes PONE177 with a remix of what seems to be our new theme song for this generation! Starting out this track with what is almost the melody of the G4 intro, this remix comes right out the gates with the connection between the two generation, and with fun vocal chops it sends us straight into the first few bits of Lyrics, supported by a fun synth melody we march straight towards a build up set to more lyrics before jumping straight into a at first fully instrumental drop, that later is joined by the vocals and just gets you jumping! And right in the next verse we get a fun rhythm of ships to support the lyrics before switching back to more instrumental. Next up a drum and vocal build sends us into another very fun drop full of new generation sweetness! And we end this whole thing on sort of a mini drop as a sweet finisher.
This track may be on the longer end with 5 minutes, but is definitely worth fully listening through!
