Koron Korak – Missing Part (feat. Hay Tea) | Liquid Drum & Bass

It’s never easy losing a loved one. Serving as a tribute to his late brother, Koron Korak has enlisted the help of Hay Tea to work on this emotional liquid Drum & Bass piece. Interspersed with the melancholy synth hits along with the typical drums you’d expect in a D&B song are calmer sections with no percussion and a violin ringing out with show quotes from Twilight and Fluttershy about saying goodbye. Catharsis through music is always something powerful, and this track is the perfect example for that.

Power Note – Heavenly Sky | Drum & Bass

A new delightful release by Power Note aka Lorris, this cute DnB tune is showcasing the kind of melodic aspect that I love to hear in his works. Lead synths are complementing each other so well in the progression of this track, and the title Heavenly Sky is quite fitting considering the soothing and bright vibes!

[P@D] Single Purpose – I Have To | Drum & Bass

Fast and trippy? You bet. Track 61 from Ponies at Dawn: Eternal sees a fast-paced yet chilled out drum ‘n’ bass track from the great Single Purpose. Twilight’s singing voice from Magical Mystery Cure is the song’s prominent sample, fitting perfectly alongside the beautiful synths and drums. Sit back, close your eyes and let the entrancing music carry you away!

[P@D] Hay Tea & Tripon – Trail Of Shade | Neurofunk

While the two musicians have been known to work in conjunction on various projects for quite some time, this is their first actual collab. Released as part of Ponies at Dawn Eternal, Hay Tea and Tripon‘s intricate track narrates a story set in a cyberpunk Manehattan. The ominous horns create a nightmarish atmosphere but are simultaneously satisfying, and the heavy use of reverb gives them the feel of being heard in dark empty streets amidst tall sky scrapers. The richness and complexity of the drum pattern makes it sound ever faster-paced and gives a sense of tension, or even panic. Don’t let it catch you.

Tripon – Ascension | Neurofunk

Though the track had been released almost a year ago as part of the Equestrian Raves EP, it gets a YouTube release just now with some stunning visuals to go along with it. Tripon’s work of art underwent significant changes in terms of interpretation, now being not solely about Twilight’s coronation as the princess of friendship, but also about her assumption of the role of leader of Equestria, perhaps represented respectively by the first and the second drop. Said mind-blowing drops are interwoven with satisfying leads during the buildups and outro, and the middle-section includes some of that Neuro magic Tripon is a master of. Trading his signature ominous style for a more regal or divine one, this track is a tribute to the community and the show’s ending, and judging by the description, there’s still plenty of where that came from.

7th Stive – Skylight | Drum & Bass / Breakbeat

A rich and deep soundscape is awaiting you in this track that definitely is savored best with headphones. The Applejack vocal samples along that Limestone cover art is making me wonder if this wouldn’t be about the events of that episode when Applejack visited the rock farm for Hearth’s Warming and screwed up. The tasty bass and clean beats will keep you grooving that’s for sure!

Daniel Ingram – The Magic of Friendship Grows (HittCell Remix) | Drum & Bass

A mellow and reflective atmosphere is welcoming you with open hooves along heavenly DnB beats in this remix of the finale’s song by HittCell that definitely emphasizes on emotion. The gorgeous piano melodies work so well to extend the vibes of the original song, and this is such a wonderful and heart-warming tribute!

Here it is! Brilliant Venture’s long awaited album is now upon us and boy was it worth the wait. Including many remixes of classics of both community and show songs, as well as original tracks, this album is truly a love letter to the fandom.
Brilliant’s signature wubs are very much present as one could expect and the musician also ventures in drum and bass giving a refreshing new spin to the Ponies at Dawn-featured track I Love This Fandom. Time honored Party With Pinkie by Alex S. gets a remix keeping the spirit of the original while making it sound quite novel. You will also find their take on iblank2apples’ I’ve Been Dreaming of Sunshine and Celery Stalks, adding it to the ever-growing list of wonderful remixes of this now absolute classic, giving it a new feel with heavier dubstep parts in true Brilliant Venture style.
I most definitely invite you to discover the many delightful gems treasured in this album full of adorable pony vocal chops, uplifting beats and marvelous melodies!

Tripon‘s reimagining of The Wonderbolts Rap is funky, hard-hitting and dark, with the power of Neurofunk being blasted full-force at us once again by the master himself, and Single Purpose contributing to the beauty! Vocal samples are placed so masterfully among the rich atmosphere that definitely holds many delights of sound to appreciate. Part of Tripon’s Equestrian Ravers EP!
