Lianella Stilson’s latest outing with Filacki is called We’re on Fire, and what an appropriate name considering this really is fire! The bounciness comes straight in right as it starts, and Lianella’s vocals are always a welcome treat. Check out that synth-filled drop! You’ll be bouncing for days.

Vylet Pony – Fairytails | Alternate Electronic
The title track from Vylet Pony’s latest album Super Pony World: Fairytails really sets out to impress! Primarily showcasing a chiptune style, the whole track sounds straight out of a video game. It starts out with just a set of brooding choir chords before a plucked sound joins in; it quickly transitions to a pure chiptune melody with the whole 9 yards: digitized drums and plucky 8-bit melodies. We only have a few seconds to enjoy this before the song properly kicks in. There’s an adventurous melody played along numerous different synth sounds and styles, which really makes this unique piece sound out. Just over halfway in, Vylet’s voice pops in, sounding soulful and powerful as ever. Another banger to add to the list!
The Empty Tomb – The Fall of The Crystal Empire | Hybrid Trap
Nothing can stop the return of the evil King Sombra. This track fits his aura really well, painting a picture of his second attempt at destroying the Crystal Empire with a vengeance. The drop is heavy as can be, and those orchestral trap moments really capture Sombra’s dark side. Two different styles of music coming together like this is a blessing!
The Balefire Symphony – I Love You (Fallout Day 2020) | Hybrid Orchestral
A unique ballad, this one. Lead by an orchestral backing with strong drums, Harvest Orange sings to himself about his desire to find his wife in his last hours on the planet. His vocals really put you in the moment and the instrumentation is full of emotion, especially towards the middle!
Skyshard – Blaze Shot | House
It’s always good to hear relatively new talent putting out solid tracks you can enjoy! Skyshard is past due for some notoriety and Blaze Shot shows off a propensity for ambient design and creating a real vibe/energy from music! The piano is soothing, the melody is very pleasing to the ears, and the instrumental panning is engaging! Be sure to check out this song and give Skyshard a sub!
[P@D] PSFMer – Sublunar | Drum and Bass
PSFMer has been featured on both P@D albums this year and with musical abilities like those on display in Sublunar, it is not hard to see why! Staying true to the theme of Ponies at Dawn: Eclipse, this track mixes Nightmare Moon chops from the very first episode in with a pulsating bass and DnB beat. The resulting combination gives off a very trippy, outer space vibe, contributing lots of originality and creativity to another incredible compilation album!
[P@D] BlueBrony & Totalspark – The Secret Agent | Hybrid Orchestral
BlueBrony and Totalspark (the latter’s second of two contributions) join forces to create something unique as part of Ponies at Dawn: Eclipse: a unique combination of orchestral music and dubstep! It really captures the feeling of an intense spy mission, especially when the surprising rock elements make their way in!
GrazySmash & MEQA – Hoof Shaker (Butterflight Remix) | Future House
A first attempt at future house from Butterflight with their remix of Hoof Shaker, originally by GrazySmash and MEQA! This track basically starts with a buildup that quickly leads into a drop, which sounds fantabulous. The main melody’s generated with what sounds like detuned piano reminiscent of 90s house, which occasionally changes up a bit throughout the song. It’s bouncy and features the perfect tempo. Not bad for a song made in under 24 hours!
Nyancat380 – Rule 34 | Glitch-Hop
Nyancat380 dared to make a track about the infamous internet rule, and even naming it that way just like that track by Voxxin did it before! The punchy beats from the song sure are a delight, and Fluttershy in a hoodie is instant win. Noice!
Violin Melody – Hope | Trance
Not just making heartfelt and beautiful music, Violin Melody is conveying much sweet feelings in this new release as you will be able to read from the description! Time to linger in the bliss of such a gorgeous and emotional composition, spreading hope!
