SOUND BANDIT never ceases to amaze me with their production and visuals. A slower, heavier tune, this one has a powerful trap influenced feeling and the occasional heavily processed MLP sample. The vocals have a lot going on. From distorted melodic riffs to the rhythmic pitch glides, ‘DIMENSIONAL’ is a short, yet powerful song.
4EverfreeBrony – By The Wind (feat. MEMJ0123, Metajoker, Whirldwind, & CyrilTheWolf) | Pop Rock
No stranger to making fun, upbeat pop rock songs, 4EverfreeBrony’s newest track, By The Wind, offers a fresh display of his finely-honed talent. Insightful lyrics delivered with pristine vocal harmonies by 4EverfreeBrony and MEMJ0123 are supercharged by energetic piano, drums, and bass provided by Metajoker, Whirldwind, and CyrilTheWolf, respectively. Together, these talented musicians tell a poignant and relatable story of a couple sailing across the ocean, blown by strong winds of epic change. The couple is scarred and rowing hard, unsure of their survival and uncertain of the future. With such a potent message, By The Wind is nevertheless uplifting and fun, encouraging faith over fear for all who feel precariously blown into uncharted territory.
Jyc Row – Ventae, Queen of Storms | Orchestral
Jyc is no stranger to orchestral music and world building. This track is their second of seven in their upcoming Primordial Pantheon EP, which is part of the ever-growing world of Infinite Eclipse, and is yet another powerful piece to add to their roster! The droning tagelharpa in the background carries significant and ominous weight followed by the accompanied chants, woodwinds, and strings, the soundstage is very wide and tight. Celtic vibes are strong in this one. focusing on the character it is named after.
Be sure to take a look at the video description of this one folks as it is overflowing with a TON of world lore and upcoming information on the series that I just can’t fit into this article and there is plenty more to come!

Originally made for the ‘Izzy Pop remix competition’ hosted by GLIMM and Khaliber; Dijit delivers with a heavy hitting remix that absolutely nails the midtempo nit and grit!

Toby is back at it again! Their signature unique style is on display once again with a crunchy and powerfully melodic remix of another fandom classic!

Ponytronic – Times Like These (VIP Mix) | Drum & Bass
Its been five years since ‘Times Like These’ initially released with the Missed Hearts EP. There’s a notable change in tone from the original with a heavier weight in the emotion. This time around it feels more melancholic with airy and longing vocal chops. There’s a great feeling of nostalgia in this one for me and its always nice to celebrate a key breakout track by revisiting it! All-in-all it’s good tension, and good fun.
BeatSpark – Eventide | Lo-Fi Hip Hop
Melancholic piano? Check. Filtered drums? Check. MLP samples? Check! Jokes aside, we have a short but bittersweet song here from BeatSpark that takes inspiration from a poignant moment in the MLP movie. Take a listen for some downtempo music that gives that rainy day kind of feel…and may be suitable to relax/study to…
Sound Bandit – The Ride (TCB Remix) | Trap / Future Bass
Sitting somewhere between genres that I can’t quite classify, we have a new remix from TCB! This take on a track from Sound Bandit’s recent debut album keeps some of the hyperpop flavor of the original but showcases TCB’s signature hard-hitting, ultramodern production style. Check it out for a short but sweet fusion of bouncy bass sounds.
Jyc Row – The Whispers In Your Mind (The Crystallized) | Orchestral
Another track from Jyc Row’s ever-expanding Infinite Eclipse series, this piece makes up part of the soundtrack for a planned audiobook based in his original canon. Created as a battle theme, there’s plenty of dark ambient energy to the track, and some lovely impetus placed by powerful choirs and ominous atmospheric sounds throughout.
Ethan Toavs – Yaks Of Ayukia | Orchestral
Ethan Toavs has been prolific in the orchestral scene over the years, with many gorgeous compositions. This track is a release from his Chronicles Of An Odyssey album, which is focused around his OC character Aurora in the world of Rulia. The track itself is a lovely, gentle journey throughout some lovely soft soundscapes that opens up with some additional brightness later on in its runtime.
