Landing on the Ponies at Dawn Limelight album in May, this collaboration between SP1TF1R3 and Dropper Vampire is electrifying to say the least! The track is inspired by the events of S7:E10, A Royal Problem, and it cleverly inserts dialogue from the episode as the track progresses. It makes use of contrasting sections—some feature huge synths with the fiery energy of Daybreaker and intensity of Nightmare Moon, while the others build up to it with the haunting feel of choir-like pads, making a completely riveting journey you won’t want to skip!

Wooden Toaster – RAINBOW FACTORY (GNG REMIX) | Brazilian Funk/Phonk
GNG’s remix of the fandom classic “Rainbow Factory” by Wooden Toaster takes all the electrifying energy of the original and funnels into an equally potent banger which sounds like it came straight off the floor of the factory itself! The kick is unbelievably powerful, its percussive elements sound like hacking saws, and its synths sound like alarms going off, giving this quite the industrial vibe.

It maybe April Fools, but this song is no joke, just 100% fun internet vibes. Vale & FL0 have made a remix of a remix, paying homage to both the original Kitsune^2 track as well as Wooden toaster’s rendition.

VioletWire – ONCE AGAIN | Synthwave
VioletWire’s “ONCE AGAIN” is a deep, dark and introspective song about Twilight Sparkle, as she’s portrayed in Eakin’s “Hard Reset” fanfiction. This tune features a groovy bassline with a fantastic tone, lots of fun percussion elements, and some phenomenal vocal effects work and lyric writing prowess on full display! The instrument choices and vocal tone also remind me of some of my favorite works by Aviators, and if you enjoy their discography, this song will make a wonderful addition to your playlist!
