AnNy Tr3e has released a few pretty neat house tracks, but this is definitely his best so far in my opinion. Featuring some fantastic vocals from Metajoker, it builds up in a classic progressive way to a high energy house-y drop with some engaging compositional work and nicely clean mix.

Suskii’s new Changeling-themed EP Bugsquad Pt. 2 is out now in full force, and this track featuring vocals from Kozmos showcases it pretty well. Kozmos’ rapping builds the track up to a heavy dubstep drop that, like most of Suskii’s tracks, has a distinctly insectoid feel to it, before a powerful melodic break that leads into more wubs.
Another hit from the new Ponies at Dawn album, Metapony brings both the beautiful melodies as well as the dance wubs in Between Night and Day. The song starts with a very pleasing synth ambience which carries into a sort of dubstep-influenced portion of the track. Meta uses bells to keep the pretty sound as a consistent theme while the drum beat and drops maintain the energy, and keep your body moving. The piano and synth round out the track beautifully, and help make it a stand-out track on an already incredible compilation!
Bringing back a classic, Sterling Fusion teams up with Silver Note to cover the WoodenToaster/H8 Seed hit. Sterling nails the lead vocals and all of the electronic effects, as Silver Note delivers on great additional. This is a great track for a quick stroll back down memory lane!

UndreamedPanic’s house tunes are some of my favourite creations in the fandom, so it’s always awesome to see more of them from him. This one features some excellent vocals from Namii, which complement the superb vocal chopping that occurs throughout the track. Some powerful dance-y piano provides impetus to the piece, and the bright and uplifting synth design and composition wraps it all together nicely.

A gorgeous chilled out tune here from Totalspark! This piece is full of lovely soft synth sounds and reverberating bells that play some beautiful melodies as steady drum & bass percussion resonates throughout.

Einarx’s dubstep is always awesome, but especially so when combined with interesting compositional design. That’s the case here with some strong arabian influence to the whole track. The drop itself is full of a great mix of different sounds, and is arranged in a way that keeps things interesting, but also with the power indicative of Tempest Shadow.
I simply ADORE this kind of Drum & Bass. RoomVR just consistently makes incredible liquid dnb tracks that are smooth, chill and quite frankly in my opinion, downright beautiful. Okay, I admit it probably helps that Protocat and Natus’ original version of this song was already stunning, but RoomVR has still manages to transform it while keeping the same emotion of the original. And it’s a great debut to Room’s own YouTube channel too! Another of my favourites from Rebirth, without a doubt.
Trance is my favorite genre, and uplifting trance is one of my favorite subgenres of trance. Add in a Starlight theme and brilliant composition, and I’m surprised my mouse button didn’t break from how fast I clicked download. This one’s truly breathtaking: cold, energetic, hypnotic, and rich. The progression of Starlight’s story is frozen in sound, from her time running Equal Town to Starswirl’s spell to her eventual reformation.
Here’s a super cute song from Homage and TCB that just makes you wanna cuddle up with somebody and wait out a rain storm. I love the sound design in here with all the leads and melodies adding up to make everything super cozy.
Note: Since the original video got deleted, you may find the WAV file of the song here.
