Ahhhhh, this is such a fun trip! Aventrix, who may or may not be remixing every track on this little album, is at it again (or isn’t) with this wonderful remix of an absolute classic! The lovely melody of the original really comes through here with a new vibe thanks to a pitch shift and Aventrix’s lovely synth additions and little touches that breathe a different kind of life into the song. Paired with a slick video, it’s an absolute joy of a track!

GeekBrony & Drummershy – Last Tempest (feat. Vylet Pony) (Tw3Lv3 Remix) | Halftime / Neurofunk
Today we’ve got ourselves another banger from the amazing Tw3Lv3! The song “Last Tempest” is a few years old now, but that didn’t stop her from transforming it into this angry sounding, Neurofunk masterpiece. We start this track with a beat that slowly builds up until it hits us like a ton of bricks, and then the song ramps up to an amazing drop. After that we get this slower beat with slightly muffled lyrics, which creates a really good atmosphere for this song, before we return once more to the build up and drop and an awesome instrumental section. For the next drop we get a bit of a different melody, and afterwards we get a DnB-sounding part before the song slowly fades out.

Snow Swirl – Evening in Ponyville | Drum & Bass
If you’re down for a simple evening stroll through quaint, rural streets, Snow Swirl perfectly captures that mood with “Evening in Ponyville.” Peaceful, light instrumentation dotted with some lively DnB sections maintains an overall relaxed vibe, throughout. Up-tempo drum and bass sections balance out more ambient sections. Some of the sound design reminded me of a nostalgic background track for an old-timey video game. Let this track’s soothing vibes warm you with the hometown-feel of Ponyville as the fading rays of Celestia’s sunlight dip beneath the horizon.
Vale & Fl0 – A Beautiful Heart | Liquid Drum & Bass
Today we’ve got ourselves a song about our favourite fashion pony, Rarity! This DnB track is a joy from start to finish with it’s lovely melodies and amazing drops, and if you listen closely you can hear certain influences from “Rules of Rarity” in the amazing melody. This song is a joy for the ear and heart and definitely worth listening to!

[PF] Dandelion – The Alicorn Amulet | Drum & Bass
This dark and groovy drum & bass track from Dandelion is coming at you from the latest Pony Family album Busy Having Fun! If you haven’t downloaded the album yet, then definitely head here and get it! The nicely textured bass rumbles to life and soon pairs with ambient synths and terrific D&B percussion to form a moody and unsettling arrangement. A high synth joins in for classic ominous effect, and there’s some really nice movement in the track overall that evokes burbling dark power and corruption. The high synth bridge and switched up arrangement towards the end is a great moment that pushes the narrative of the song and ensures that the listener never gets too comfortable before the track rumbles to its dark conclusion.
CAPT – Rest | Drum & Bass
The vibes! This track honestly surprised me: it’s simultaneously chill and energetic! Inspired by the fantastic art piece in the video, it starts with rain sound effects as the music builds up, which sets the tone as nice and chill. But once the music picks up, it gets more energetic, and I couldn’t help but tap my foot to it! These two elements compliment each other very well, and make for a great song!
Ponytronic – Myopia | Drumstep
Creative even when blinded, this new endeavor by Ponytronic is sharing some more story and thoughts involving Tavi and Vinyl as you can read from the description, all while laying out a progression of sound design and rhythmic wonders!
[P@D] PSFMer – Shrouded Soul | Drum & Bass
Read the full description on YouTube to see all that the musician imbued in the song and meant with it! This smooth and blissful DnB beauty is all about that episode when Fluttershy found her love for singing and overcame her fears, and PSFMer went as far as to intend specific instruments and parts of the song to depict certain parts of the episode, and Fluttershy’s feelings! Read and appreciate it all from the description, and go tell the musician how much you enjoy these kinds of things! And give a fav to the SFM art crafted by PSFMer on DeviantArt, too! This track is part of P@D Oceansong!
Lexie – The Precious Thing | Drum & Bass
I like being a writer for this platform because I get to get caught off guard by artists who I had no idea made music. Lexie is brand new to the music scene. It doesn’t get much better having one of your first tracks featured on cider party (listen here). Keeping things rolling, we have a charming D&B track about little things in life that are precious; I wasn’t expecting kind of rad synth beats and that keyboard solo! However, the pace is solid with these ultra-cute harmonies and basslines. Lexie also does the cute RD artwork, saying, “kick back and enjoy the roses.” I believe we have someone we need to keep an eye on here! As always, This Qilin asks you to judge for yourself.
Also be sure to check out their new Cider Party track!
