Spicy titles aside, this new release by the talented Rarity Advocate is actually very fuzzy as it brings so much love in musical form! The “spring” vibes of the song, with the “rebirth” aspect of it perhaps represented by Philomena here, are completed wonderfully by sampling of vocals from Winter Wrap Up, and listening to this feels like trotting in Equestria on a first day of spring!

Sawtooth Waves – To The Skies (feat. Chi-Chi) | Electropop
Sawtooth Waves, formerly known as Notion, returns with their first original in nearly 2 years! To The Skies is a cute and bouncy pop track featuring the adorable vocals of Chi-Chi as the part of Scootaloo, singing about the all-too familiar concept of her being unable to fly with her tiny wings and coping with her emotions all the while. Along with this banger comes a brilliant PMV, made by a talented group! Perfection in one single package.
[P@D] Skron – Maze of Thoughts | Melodic Dubstep
Leave it to Skron, an up and coming producer to make a track with a dreamy and reflecting theme to it. A track that goes into the mind of our newly crowned bookhorse. The melodies effectively make you feel this as the song is right out of the show. It’s right in touch on how twilight would be talking, feeling about being the new ruler of equestria. There are some lovely transitions and drops that take the emotion from, uncertainty to courage, power and overcoming the odds. Skron vocals really drive you into her mind and her sense of wonder. If there was ever a way, really to use Twilight’s character growth over 9 seasons. Skron I’ll say, has done so in this package of bliss and celebration for track 42 on P@D: Ignite. As always, This Qilin asks you to judge for yourself.
[P@D] Faulty – Rise Up (feat. StealingShad3z & Doodled) | Big Room House
Attention Changeling fans. Looking for a track that has sweet vocals, battle anthem rhymes and the rumbling melody of a Changeling oncoming? This is track 44 of P@D: Ignite Rise up. Faulty comes in once again with pulsing flow. A sound and rhythm that spells a message of “we are coming, better and stronger”. By hearing this. you feel the changelings coming, marching, buzzing, attacking. It’s a surefire beat to move to for sure. StealingShad3z lends his voice while letting you hear that message. Shad3z’s sweet sounding voice speaks these lyrics as an anthem to their opponents, daring them to stop them. Then there is Doodled Pony. The man with such an eccentric style of blasting those out words. The voice of Chrissy is told in Doodles voice with the order to attack and the message that comes with it, even some voice modification there for Changling vibes! Its a another good one on P@D. Check it out. As always this Qillin asks you to judge for yourself.
RedSpark – Glimmer | House
Continuing on their streak of bangers, RedSpark’s latest composition is exactly that. Starting off with a lovely piano, a unique synth sound joins in before we’re treated to a build up with plenty of uplifting trance-like melodies and a bouncy drum beat. This beautiful song serves as a tribute to Starlight Glimmer as evidenced by the name, something the fandom needs just a little bit more of!
[The Rest of Our Lives] Freewave – Twilight Sleeps Loudly | Ambient
Freewave, as a collaborator in the album “The Rest of Our Lives”, brings you an ambient piece titled Twilight Sleeps Loudly. These three minutes of tranquility are remindful of the ambient heritage of Brian Eno. The zen in this piece comes from huge swells combined with pillows of noise, accompanied by echos of string sections. Proceeds from the album in which this piece is a soothsayer in go to coronavirus relief.
DAϟH x fanta§y – 1,000 Year Old Equine Remains | Ambient Gabber / Terrorcore
By reading the genres of this track, and who it is from, you should already know that it’s gonna be interesting. Merging aliases and influences, DAϟH crafted an Ambient experience that has dark and gritty aspects to it, and it makes it all the more pertaining to the theme of being stuck on the moon. A creative progression of many wonders to appreciate!
[The Rest of Our Lives] Direct Current – Redshift (feat. Evdog) | Indie Electronica
Hot off the new compilation album The Rest of Our Lives, Direct Current and Evdog really plant one in the feels with Redshift. The sound design and ambiance in this track are incredible. The depth of the instrumental feels like it is coming from another dimension and time. The vocals are heavily processed to really give it a feel that feeling of being something beyond this world. Lyrically the vocals sing about great friendships and memories past and how that time lives on to strengthen us as we venture into the unknown of the future. Slowly paced to really savor the nostalgic emotion, you really get the opportunity to feel all the warm, uplifting, and even somber melodies that come from an incredibly well-crafted song.
All proceeds from The Rest of Our Lives album will go towards the Brony Thank You Fund, which is currently providing supplies to mask makers during the COVID-19 outbreak. Any contribution helps and the album is packed-full with incredible tunes and talent!
Suzuko Mimori – Mirai Start (Snow Swirl Remix) | Drum & Bass
Giving some love to the first Japan-exclusive OP song for FiM, Snow Swirl definitely did wonderful with this new foray in DnB that goes the anime/visual novel route with those happy and bright melodies! The fact that FiM could be watched like an anime with the official Japanese dub feels so special, and I so appreciate this remix that brings that spirit forward anew!
[P@D] Zizkil – Princess | Complextro
Zizkil returns with his latest outing, Princess, the 41st track on Ponies at Dawn: Ignite! This track features his signature complextro flair with the addition of 80’s style synth chords and even soundscapes taken from some of the Metroid games. Just like Ember herself, this banger’s as hot as the Equestrian Dragonlands!
