For someone relatively new, I’m shocked at how deep this feels. Fascinatin did a great job conveying Twilight’s goal of setting an example for all of Equestria as the Princess of Friendship and the emotions that are being evoked are just incredible! If there is one thing that stands out to me, the creative rhythms thrown in by the drums and I’ve always been a sucker for legato synth leads. I expect great things to come from this and can’t wait to hear whats next! How about you?

UndreamedPanic – The Beach | Future Bass
NB: This was originally posted on Equestria Daily on 23 April 2018.
UndreamedPanic’s been hard at work lately, with the end result being an awesome new album of future bass and synthpop-y tunes! This first track from the album has some awesome vocal chops and upbeat composition, as well as some classic future chords. You can grab the album on Bandcamp here!
[P@D] Paloris & Whirly Tail – Feeling Free | Future Bass
Here is another top-notch song from the most recent Ponies at Dawn compilation album. Paloris and Whirly Tail combined to create a track that has smooth, chilled-out sections, bouncy drop phrases, great syncopation, and pinkie pie chops placed so perfectly that you can’t help but smile. The transitions are seamless and the different sections compliment each other beautifully, keeping the track fun and interesting.
Vylet Pony – Our Light & After (feat. Pepper Mei) | Future Bass
NB: This was originally posted on Equestria Daily on 9 April 2018.
Vylet’s recent album release has been full of some great chill tracks, but this title track is a bit more upbeat. It makes awesome use of Pepper Mei’s vocals that suit the vibe of the track perfectly, with some super clever sound design and composition throughout a groovy drop.
TCB – Trust Your Heart (feat. Acarcion) | House / Future Bass
NB: This was originally posted on Equestria Daily on 9 April 2018.
TCB’s vocal chops grace us once again with some awesome chopping of Twilight’s voice. The first half of this track is pretty chilled out making use of vocal chops and soft chords, before we get some nice rap vocals from rapper Acarcion. The track then shifts into high gear with some awesome future bass chords.
[P@D] Jackie Lombardi – Bliss Out! | Future Bass
NB: This was originally posted on Equestria Daily on 29 March 2018.
Jackie’s music is always super happy, with such a fun and upbeat atmosphere, it’s hard not to groove along. Featuring a whole heap of great synth design and sample usage, the blissful atmosphere suits Tree Hugger’s laidback style quite well, and her vocal samples are used to nice effect too.
Inkwel – Blind Loyalty | Future Bass
If you don’t know who Inkwel is yet – it is time to fix that! Inkwel uses bright, fun synths over a modern pop beat to set the happy, almost tropical tone. There are many different phrases used to show off the versatility of the synths and keep the song interesting throughout. The track ends on a dramatic style change to a more mellow tone, bringing a notion of some seriousness to reflect on the track. Fun and uplifting, make sure to check out Inkwel and Blind Loyalty!
Homage & TCB – It’s Raining Now | Future Bass
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.

mikuma feat. Namii – Sad Hors Hours (N. Hollow Remix) | Future R&B / Lo-Fi Hip Hop
Wonder rapper and pony lyrics guru N. Hollow felt inspired after hearing the amazing Sad Hors Hours from mikuma and friends, and it’s so cool to get this alternate version of the song with new vocal and instrumental greatness! Expanding on the fresh and smooth vibes from the original, and featuring Namii‘s amazing original verse, the remix makes N. Hollow’s vocal talents shine once again!
