Snow Swirl’s exploration of DnB continues with what is indubitably one of my favorite releases from the musician: a chilly yet quite emotional song about Trixie traveling on her own and depicting her character depth! Inspired by this artwork, the gorgeous piece echoes its title with a mystical atmosphere and soundscape making you feel like you’re out there in the wild witnessing the Dawn, and like you’re Following Her Hoofsteps. A masterpiece of concept for sure!

Intersekt returns with their first original single in a year, and boy was it worth the wait. Hurricane is a strong drum n’ bass track with atmospheric piano chords and strong basslines, combined with the beautiful guest vocals from Koa, singing about struggles and anxiety. There’s a powerful drop with heavy warbling bass sounds that even keeps the melody with a piano, making it sound relaxed yet strong at the same time. Check out the drop three minutes in; it’s crazy!

While Lavender has been in the scene for years and years, track 12 from Ponies at Dawn: Ignite is her P@D debut! Once Again is a liquid drum and bass track with some atmospheric and haunting vibes along with the vocal talents of Synthis, who really makes this piece come to life. The soft synth sounds and effects on Synth’s voice stick out, adding to the song’s melancholy nature. In addition to Ignite, this will also be featured on her upcoming album Fragile Heart!

Koron’s new collab with Thöbe is a foray in sharper synths resulting from tasteful inspirations, and the gorgeous vocals are definitely empowering the track! I’m especially a fan of the added melodic Flutterchops and the effect on them, so cool and creative!

When a skilled drummer knows what he is doing. That Musician then may apply that skill even to drum digitally! Whirlwind comes back with a very sweet and enjoyable track. Using his drum knowledge and trying some new things with his EDM experiments. He tells of his dream of making a cake with Pinkie Pie. With some nice work with the Drumbeats bending with the mellow and adorable D&B beats. It’s a wholesome track that is simple and so much texture to its many layers. He’s is right it does sound like the 90’s a bit. As always this Qilin asks you to judge for yourself.

PSMFer is a new face in the music side of the fandom, though he has made animations (including PMVs) in the past. Aversion is his second song, the first one being Wonders, releasing tomorrow (or today, depending on when this writeup is published and on time zones) on Ponies At Dawn – Ignite. This DnB song is insane, especially coming from someone with only one full song of experience. Furthermore, the neurofunk and garage inspirations are very welcome. Rainbow Dash’s dream in Do Princesses Dream of Magic Sheep? is rendered perfectly and the loud sub, the tight drums and the gasps for air give an impression of suffocation, of having nowhere to run, of drowning in the stuff nightmares are made of.

Watch in awe as the great and powerful Spikey Wikey showcases some electronic talent as always! Showtime is a Trixie-based drum & bass track that puts a heavy focus on the bass, mixing softer piano chords with low and gritty bass along with familiar vocal samples of Trixie from Boast Busters. Can’t go wrong with some soft jungle!
