DJT joins with NeverLastStading, in a Drum & Bass track that it’s pretty amazing! Great drop and synths, the samples used are pretty good. A banger from the depths of the latest Ponies At Dawn album: Guardians! The bell melody at the middle of the song is really astounding! A masterpiece of composition quality and great imagination!

From some really kickass and chill Liquid Drum & Bass, Hay Tea; a figure that has been in every Ponies At Dawn album since Celestial Planes, joins with DerpyCrash for making this great track! The melody, the vocals, the awesome bass design and the soft synths made this song also a great tune from the depths of Guardians. The sombre and atmospheric look that this track gives is really noticed and gave me chills. The smooth and minimal drums that feature almost every track done by Hay Tea are also the kings of the track along with the vocals!

Hydra resurfaces with some lovely Drum & Bass for us all! Great breaks, great drums, and a great ambiance are only a few of the features that make this stand out. More than a few of Hydra’s signature sounds are here, and they’re all delicious to hear again. But what really strikes me is that this song has a guitar bassline (!!!), which is something I’ve never found in any other DnB song. And honestly, it’s just a genuine pleasure to listen to!

Hay Tea, Sky Runner & FluffyKitty all worked together to bring us this darkly ambient track. Gritty breaks take center stage to set the mood. Fast, grim, and channeling the same Lightning Dust spirit as the last tracks of Rainbow & Rooted, Deadline is an insight into the darker side of pegasus racing.

New Reverian brings us all some smooth, relaxing DnB. Beginning with a very uplifting synth solo and adding in some delicious fast but relaxingly soft drums, the song gets off to a great start. Throughout, the bright, vibrant synths take us along with Rainbow Dash through the cloud-speckled sky. Each drum beat is like another flap of her wings; each synth the call of the horizon, beckoning her onward. We finish with a purely melodic, emotional coda, like Dashie returning home to her friends.

The two things I have been looking for, first and foremost in new music lately – before the mixdown, sound design and production – is an element of unpredictability, and that special vibe. You know that one vibe, where you can tell the artist just went absolutely ham and gave no hecks, darns, or tarnations? The kind of vibe where you can just tell they were following their own groove, instead of copy pasting. This track has both in droves. Honestly, I would’ve been happy with it even if the pre-drop was the drop. Those beefed up kicks and that metallic snare are candy to my ears, and then – T H E N he hits you with that fire drop. Hoo boy I need a minute.

Speaking of said vibe and being fresh out of hecks, bank pain also hit us with a bag of audio bricks. (In the good way, don’t worry man). I said it before and I’ll say it again, I love it when I listen to something and have to ask myself, “yo what genre even is this?”. This is that, it’s got reeses that’ll make granddaddy ‘106 shed a tear, a beautiful bridge/outro that’ll make human granddaddy shed a tear, and just that scary-but-pretty vibe that I always seem to float towards like a moth to a lamp. Celestia take the wheel, this stuff is golden. Don’t sleep on bank or Prog, guys.

Nevermourn hasn’t made much music yet, but after listening to this I’m eagerly waiting for his next release. With chilling ambiance and bold and eerie synths, he provides a high-quality changeling-inspired composition. The fast-paced drums evoke the feeling of an invasion, and the pitch-shifted vocals match the song’s darker feel perfectly. A hard-hitting banger all around!

It’s an absolute joy to see RoomVR back on Drumscape Library! While his first feature had been a remix, he has now returned, half a year later, to delight the fandom with a fully original drumfunk track.

And truly, this time has not passed in vain. Taking months to hone his craft further while retaining his style, VR offers an atmospheric experience that pulls you into the magical world of Equestria’s nighttime just before the dawn. A sweet rolling waterfall of amen breaks guides you through an orchestral landscape, and well placed foley deepens the immersion. Fading Night invites you to close your eyes and feel the breath of the night, cool and fragrant and serene.

Taking on pony vocal chopping, Ertrii now created magic out of Apple Bloom‘s gorgeous vocals from Out On My Own. With a crafty and blissful instrumental full of slick sound design and the deep atmosphere fitting for a haunting environment like the Everfree Forest, it delivers an incredible experience of sound and emotional vocal chops.
