Daniel Ingram – At The Gala (Algo at All Remix) | Chillout

Algo at All has some absolutely fascinating mixes, and this slowed-down take on the Season 1 classic is one of them! The remix includes the vocals we all know from the original song, with an almost lo-fi beat and a trippy synth to guide the track along at its own pace. Using those small additions, Algo is able to create some interesting breaks between verses that really give the song a completely new feeling all its own. Later in the track, a few more instruments and pieces are introduced to keep the elongated piece fresh and unique.

KaraJam – Plastic Horse (feat. Sound Bandit & Amy Bestevez) | Hyperpop

Hyperpop seems like the perfect genre for celebrating the joys of getting lost in imagination while playing with plastic horses. The amped up, super sweet instrumental zips the song along through pastel landscapes of bubbly synths and bouncy beats. The lyrics are fantastic, delivered perfectly by the collaborating artists, and the whole package pairs so well with the visualizer. Would life be better as a plastic horse? There no way of knowing, but at least we have this song to help us get there in imagination land!

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.

BlueBrony – Rush Hour Cadence | Nu-Disco

In the third installment of his princess-themed album, “The Princess Cycle,” BlueBrony presents “Rush Hour Cadence” – a funky, upbeat disco track inspired by the princess of love. A short intro with some fun plucks on the electric guitar quickly leads to an up-tempo drop with some funky disco sound design that periodically pulls back to make room for some smooth vocals.  An interesting end to the piece is created by sounds reminiscent of a phonograph of yesteryear that slowly fades out.  There’s even the sound of a record disc being popped out as the music comes to an end.  Featuring plenty of horns, guitar, and fun synths, this track feels like a refreshing blast from the past with a modern twist.  Be sure to check out this fun piece, as well as the other princess-themed tracks on BlueBrony’s newest album, “The Princess Cycle.”

Skyshard & Valoria – Lost in Las Pegasus | Orchestral Future House

This blissful EDM combination perfectly fits the setting of Las Pegasus, the city of fun and flashing lights!
