[Equinity] TCB – Only One (Tw3Lv3 Remix) | Liquid Drum & Bass
As a power move, Tw3lv3 has released a smooth and fast remix of TCB’s quite popular tune “Only One” not only to Equinty’s 4th album, but also their own Simp EP! Keeping in line with the ambience and scope of the original we get a taste of a faster yet laid back version of this tune with some really fun changes and twists especially near the end where some surprising but welcome textures and vibes. This one is a wonderful addition to the album and Tw3lv3 really knows how to string a vibe together!
SpinScissor – Goodbye | Drum & Bass
I don’t think I’ve heard a track about “Tanks for the Memories” before! I’ve got to the say, SpinScissor, you did the episode justice with the mood of this track. As you listen to the flow of the track, if you listen closely to the vocal chops from “I’ll Fly” with the awesome pounding beats with the speed effects, you hear them flow like the harmonics of the track. The pace is perfect for a Rainbow Dash track; the drums are a nice touch to a beat that I’m sure is going to get you out of your seat movin’ around. Then there are the heartwarming parts of the song with the vocal chops of Rainbow Dash expressing her feelings about Tank needing to go away for the winter… Those chops give the song such great depth and feeling. SpinScissor, please keep working on your craft–you got this! As always this Qilin asks you to judge for yourself. On a personal note, that episode is one of better (and underrated) Rainbow Dash ones because it shows that she is not just this super powerful and confident pony! Rainbow DASH fans, am I right!?
Honest – Under water | Drum & Bass
So everypony today we’ve got ourselves this lovely track by Honest. The song starts out with a slower piano that is quickly joined by a lovely DnB beat. The beat continuously builds up until we transition to a slower and calmer beat that then transitions back to the faster beat, which makes for an amazing progression. As you might have realized by now, this song is rather short, but as the saying goes, it’s short and sweet, just this little bite-sized portion of amazingness.

TCB – Nothing Is Forever (Tw3Lv3 Remix) | Jungle Drum & Bass
Tw3Lv3 made a whole album dedicated to remixing TCB’s tracks and that was such a wonderful idea! A pre-release from the album, this tribute and remix of Nothing Is Forever is showcasing Tw3Lv3’s forte with a tasty and fresh Jungle DnB arrangement of the emotional Dashie song, bringing to life the emotion in a new unique way!
Tripon – Wonders | Drum & Bass
Equestrium is out!! More than a year of hard work and passion devoted to FiM, with each track representing a season or a particular event in an episode! This one Wonders is dedicated to Flutter discovering her life’s meaning in The Cutie Mark Chronicles as you will be able to guess from the lovely visuals in the video, her voice resonating in the song and our hearts, and of course that title and reference to So Many Wonders! I also had the pleasure to serve the S3 premiere-themed Crystallise from the album at the bar of Cider Party! Check out the whole album from Bandcamp here!
Snow Swirl – Freezing Path | Liquid Drum & Bass
Snow Swirl did so amazing with this new release themed about winter, and you will be able to hear the chilly sounds and the wintry atmosphere in the song. It’s almost as if you could feel the frost on the tip of those synths! The progression of the piece showcases a lot of melodic wonders that instill such a powerful emotion that I can’t describe with words, and even the outro is nothing short of magical with those Ambient synths coming in. A masterpiece for sure and one of my favorites from the musician!
Ponytronic – Frostbitten Beauty | Drumstep
Sublimating that amazing artwork by MirroredSea, Ponytronic treats us to a Rarity-themed gem that would definitely make the mare blush (and she knows a thing or two about gems). Soft and spunky, the piece sings an ode to the fabulous and gorgeous mare and I appreciate it a lot as she’s my second favorite pony ♥
PrinceWhateverer & Jalmaan – Enemy Undefined (Club Mix) | Drum & Bass
Okay, everypony, today we return once more to “Enemy Undefined”, this time the club mix! I already did an article for the original (I call the Version on PrinceWhateverer’s channel the “original” here for lack of a better term) which you can find here, so I’m not going to talk too much about lyrics. Since this is a club mix, the DnB is much more center stage and the metal elements by Prince take more of a backseat as the DnB beat did in the original. This really gives it the perfect club combination: The EDM parts are center stage but the song doesn’t completely abandon the metal elements, resulting in a mix that is perfect to jump up and down to, either in the club or at home!

Nicolas Dominique – Coffee Rush | Drum & Bass
Today we return once more to Nicolas Dominique, and he brings us this jolly DnB song. Coffee Rush is an upbeat, fast DnB track that will make you dance! The track starts out at express pace with a lovely DnB melody that is quickly joined by all sorts of elements, and before you really notice it the song begins building up. After some time another synth joins in and gives the song a lovely melody. Later an additional synth joins and takes center stage for a lovely progression, and, believe it or not, the track is still building up. Still later the artist teases us with a two minute build up before the track changes and becomes calmer, seemingly finally slowing down. Most of the song’s elements subside, but then most of them gradually return, and the song speeds up again as we return once more to the fully built arrangement which persists until the outro where the track calms down once again.
