PumpkinZ is back at it again with another fun track from their Colors EP! Even in a minor key, this future bass song is uplifting, and the aptly named Lime Sorbet is bound to sweeten your day. Take a listen and check out PumpkinZ’s channel for the rest of the EP!
Electronic
[P@D] SP1TF1R3, BlackIceMusic & L-Train – Time to Play (feat. 4EverfreeBrony) | Electro Swing / Bounce
For a track about Discord, this one does a great job harmonizing two normally-separate genres! “Time to Play” combines the talents of two of the fandom’s best electro-swing producers as well as two of the fandom’s best bounce producers. Listen for the smooth, alluring vocals of 4EverfreeBrony as Discord gives you a personal tour showcasing the true glory of chaos, turning your imagination into his personal theater, as the (sometimes circus-like) instrumentals paint a picture in your mind’s eye that you just can’t peel yourself away from. This is the perfect track for an album titled Pandemonium, which is a fantastic addition to the Ponies at Dawn series. The catchy beats from SP1TF1R3 and BlackIceMusic combined with L-Train’s instrumentals make this track one that’s perfect for DJ sets of multiple genres, or just to listen to on its own.
[P@D] Dauntless Dan – Color Palooza | Colour Bass / Dubstep
Dauntless Dan’s newest track for Ponies At Dawn is a hard-hitting ~2.5mins of pure heart-pounding craziness with more drops than a summer rollercoaster. I’ll admit, when I first heard this track, I thought it’ll be a more chill track with some casual drops. NOPE! Each one is harder than the last one and I LOVE IT! Before I can recover from the previous one with the tease of chill melodic lines, I’m transitioned back into the high-energy, heavy percussion. It’s a thrill ride from start to finish. [Twitter: ]
BassPon3 – Moonbow | Hands Up
This song from BassPon3 is a couple of months old, but better late than never, right? If you’re not in the mood to go back to school just yet, let this track carry on the feeling of late night summer parties! The upbeat and hopeful chord progression and melodies in this are a great sonic match for Izzy and sure to get your head bouncing.
[Equinity] Totalspark – They’re Coming VIP | Electro
Totalspark returns once again with their newest track for the Equinity Project: “They’re Coming VIP.” This is by far one of their heaviest tracks that I’ve heard, which I feel is fitting for a villain such as Chrysalis. The crisp “handclaps” and rhythmic “buzzing” on occasion really added onto the song, giving that feeling of a buzzing swarm of Changelings awaiting their command. Overall, such an infectious piece with enticing rhythms that have me getting lost in the music.
NeverLastStanding – Pony Shelter | Electronic
“I was so excited when I heard the opening notes of ‘Shelter’ done with pony chops,” they whisper in the halls of convention hotels long after the concert has ended. “But I tried to find it online, it’s never been posted anywhere.” More like a myth than a song despite having heard it with my own ears…
The year is 2023. It is a month before NeverLastStanding’s final MLP performance with Loophoof at Everfree Northwest, and the legendary “Pony Shelter” has finally dropped! A recreation of “Shelter” by Porter Robinson and Madeon, its synths so warm and pure and full of light, its pony chops evoking emotions long thought to have been lost, its stunning visuals showing Celestia nurturing Twilight and then Twilight nurturing Luster Dawn, a powerful way to echo its lyrics, “I’ll give them shelter like you’ve done for me.” Euphoria. Words can’t do justice to how this song makes one feel.
It’s been a huge honor to see NLS perform this one live in his farewell performance to the fandom. Best of luck entering the next era of your creative journey!
Jacqueling – Thorax (ft. Neu KatalYst) | Metal / Drum & Bass
Jacqueling is back with something slightly different to her usual repertoire. Pairing up with Neu KatalYst (once again) together they bring something that blends their two signature styles. This song maintains its high energy throughout, with Kat’s stylised vocals helping to bridge the gap between metal and electronica where this song fits perfectly.
[Equinity] Skyshard & Darkspeen Shore – Moonglow | Ambient / Piano
Moonglow is a wonderfully gentle piece that closes out Equinity’s recent 06 compilation album; “Expedition”. It sends a chill through you and perfectly encapsulates that chilly calm of the night with some incredibly powerful strings padding out the soundscape that weave and float along the emotive piano trills and runs. It really gives you that sense of the world quieting down. Another fun note is how the song title is named after a jungle bound flower in Terraria and games like that are what immediately come to mind upon hearing this piece and in my opinion, really makes this an apt story to end this chapter out!
PumpkinZ – Colors | Hyperpop
PumpkinZ is dipping their toes into the world of hyperpop with this track from their upcoming Colours EP. Blending in elements of future bass too, this song keeps that lovely upbeat feel that both genres convey well, with some lovely epiano melodies filling in the quieter sections that build up to clean, smooth drops.
[Equinity] sleepy eyes – Back To Equestria | Hands Up
Number six on Equinity’s expedition album, Sleepy eye’s “Back to Equestria” is a short but suave bop featuring a lovely array of different sections. It opens with orchestral-like synth design, quickly building up with arpeggios and spoken word hyping the return of the elements, leading right into the drop. The middle is met with brassier synths and Sweetie Belle chops, and towards the end, there’s some really crunchy percussion for a great finishing touch!
