Twilike always brings something cool to the table and Destiny is no exception! A song that categorizes Misty’s internal struggle and bright future lets us know right away of what we’re getting ourselves into. The intro of plucked strings and guitars, and the repeatedly rising melody of the piano immediately gives off a sense of hope yet, struggle. This emotional beginning is followed by the beautiful and haunting synth lead and signature crisp vocals which give this track a texture and depth you can feel! Destiny is not a track to sleep on, and has personally gotten me excited to see where our timid blue horse will go next!

SOUND BANDIT – MAKE SOMETHING | Plunderphonics
SOUND BANDIT is back with her third installment of a newly released plunderphonics EP! “Make Something” pulls in so many pony chops, from G3 ponies like Lily Lightly to Twilight and Pinkie from G4, and is accompanied by a lovely PMV put together with help from rebane. The composition’s structure is very unique with multiple tempo changes and meter changes (you can here sections in 4/4, 5/4, and 3/4) making it very intellectually stimulating, even after multiple listenings. The sound starts out minimally, but over its course, flushes out gorgeously into deep synths and piano. It’s also accompanied with a lovely message about getting there and making something, whatever it may be. Absolutely stellar!
Assertive Fluttershy – Boooring! (Algo at All Remix) | Drumstep / Drum and Bass
Algo at All has remixed a cult classic, and quite the remix it truly is! Opening with an upbeat piano chord run and breakbeats we are lulled into a particularly cheery and bouncy mood, however the build up breaks that up into a tease of higher energy before dropping heavily into a very nostalgic two-step drop harkening back to a lot of the classic sounds with a twist and don’t get me started on the rising pitch bent chords that add such an epic feeling to the entire thing!
What truly sets this remix apart is the segue into an emotional outtake from Twilight before bringing together ALL of the Mane Six singing back the melody in their own chopped flair followed again by a very clean AI vocal singing original and wonderfully themed lyrics!
An absolute gem of a piece and can’t wait to see what else Algo brings to the table!

Time for bed, but first let me tell you a story; once upon a time a very special unicorn made lots of friends and together they showed the magic of friendship. Now a very special musician shows us their musicality of harmony. Based on the movie A New Generation, DJSleepyHooves stirs 2 soundtracks and a diversity of vocal sampling from the movie with their glittering creativity. A clever and silky intro with retro sounds playing from a cassette tape having Argyle as the storyteller abruptly glows up with the energetic drums as the ponies’ vocalization joins in like pinballs propelling to this musical gem. A priceless banger full of magic….bing bong!
MagicMakesItAllComplete – Unfix It Quick | Plunderphonics
I ADORE how OG MLP goes along with this. The nostalgia and the times of now get combined here to create a wonderful piece of music. This track itself is an EXPERIENCE. So many smooth, lovely, and chill vibes with BOTH top tier electronic sounds and yet the acoustic instruments mixed within add a touch of class. The vocal chops as well add unto making this track just… perfect, cute and wholesome. Let this track showcase that IT DOESN’T MATTER what generation of MLP the samples are from; they will remain TIMELESS, just like this track right here!
DJSleepyHooves – SL O P NATION_-_Side A | Plunderphonics
Editor’s note: video contains flashing lights
Izzy Moonbow, her sparkling energy and artistic unicycling lesson has splashed into the hearts of the music community. DJSleepyHooves did a dive into the song “All For The Love of Trash” from Tell Your Tale episode 13 and did a inventive spin sampling it and a luminous video edit from the original. An easygoing intro that’ll get you off the ground to nippy drums to breakdance, dexterous crackly vocal sampling for your ears to nurture and a diversity of flamboyant synth sounds, this is a banger for your MLP G5 playlist!
Synthis – All My Fears | Pop
Synthis is back again with another absolute banger. It’s good to know the homie is still out there and I hope all goes well with him! Here we have a nice song with lovely synths and funky ambient melodies expressed through both instruments and vocals that grasp you. Just the entire vibe of the track and the words sung out can definitely resonate with people. I won’t sugarcoat it; life can indeed be a frightening experience, and you’ll only see who really has your back when EVERYTHING goes wrong… But believe in the hope that this song alludes to, that things WILL get better. I hope this song reaches the people who need to hear it and know what Synthis is singing about. HMH is therefore, at your service. Happy listening!
Silva Hound – The Siren Song (feat. Wubcake, Namii & Brittney Ackerman) [Aventrix Bootleg] | Dubstep / Breakbeat
Here we have a short but solid take on Silva’s siren song, in the form of a bootleg remix from Aventrix. It sits at a tempo somewhere between dubstep and drum and bass, and has a couple of nice switch-ups between drum patterns to keep things interesting!
GLIMM, Khaliber & DJSkystorm – Izzy Pop (Dijit Remix) | Midtempo
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! Drawn out drones and crisp, glitched one shots adorn this track and accompany the vocal flow in a rather tasty way. Add the nice sprinkling of fast paced breakbeats in the breakdown and you’ve got good fun all around with this one!
