Part of N. Hollow‘s upcoming EP Violent Skies, out July 17th, Frost Heart was released on the Straight From The Heart movement. It was performed on his set at Burning Mare II (the VOD is still up on Burning Mare‘s twitch channel at the moment of writing and will be uploaded by N. Hollow sometime in the future). The beat features ice level-type synths and overall serves as a great canvas for the vocals. N. Hollow’s flow is still impeccable and the auto-tune works nicely with the lyrics revolving around an ill-fated love.
Misc
MrMehster & Tw3Lv3 – Work In Progress (Power Note Remix) | Breaks/Electro House
Power Note has joined the fun with their remix of Work In Progress! The fun and catchy melody gets a new twist with break beats and a nice array of 80s style sound design. It brings a different emotion to the raw energy of the original and is a nice addition to the the plethora of remixes you can find over at the official remix compilation album!
RedSpark – Revival | Orchestral
Where to begin? I guess I’ll start with how good this music is (believe me, it’s really good!): It’s powerful, it’s energetic, and, it has this vibe of what I can only describe as “grandeur.” This track also has hints of nordic-sounding music near the beginning and end, which definitely helps contribute to the aforementioned vibe. Overall, this is a beautiful piece of orchestral!
Super Trampoline – Welcome to the Dying Brony Fandom (Eagles Parody) | Piano Ballad
OK! How about some hilarious laughs! Super Trampoline has you taken care of. A parody of the rock classic “Hotel California” by The Eagles. With an excellent rendition on classic piano of the melodies. He hilariously talks about every single aspect of our fandom, all the good and all of the cringe of being in this fandom. From the nostalgic 2012 to our present. It’s all there and it’s Brony Cringe at its best. I really don’t need to say more, because its all there. As always, This Qilin unfortunately lol..asks you to judge for yourself.
TCB – Integrity VIP, YONA GONNA, GLOOM & BLOOM, Death in The Afternoon VIP | Multi-Genre
TCB has been quite active recently and submitted songs to most of the labels in the fandom. He uploaded four of them in the form of the present mix and all the links to the albums and the entire tracks are in the video description. Uniqueness is a defining trait of TCB’s music, every time bringing fresh and original ideas to the table. With insane sound design, the use of a wide range of orchestral instruments and ingenious work with vocals, TCB builds a universe of sounds from the ground up with each new release of his. Integrity VIP is a variation of a track from the Keys & Cuts EP using vocals from The Magic Inside. YONA GONNA has input from Loophoof and hits very hard, even if it has emotional moments nonetheless. GLOOM & BLOOM uses the lullaby from Bloom & Gloom, aims to target the feels and succeeds. Death in The Afternoon VIP is a new take on the track from the album The Closet Anthology that unfortunately went a bit under the radar so it is nice to see it getting some more love. It still features Ditherer but gives a more central role to the instrumental which doesn’t only serve as a backbeat to support her rapping anymore. As a last note TCB’s set at BronyBashOnline includes exclusive yet-to-be-released VIPs and Remixes, it would be a shame to miss them.
Toby Macarony – Flutty & Rainy doin’ Picnic | Orchestral
Flutty & Rainy doin’ Picnic is the opener of Toby Macarony’s new album, Shenanigans Two. This track lies among songs from a great variety of genres, just as expected from TM. It is a cute orchestral piece working as a conversation between a flute representing Fluttershy and an oboe for Rainbow Dash with each instrument playing a few phrases followed by the other’s response. The song ends on an ethereal note with a choir and strings.
Editor’s note: Find below an additional writeup by fellow writer Cynifree!
Start of Cynifree’s writeup
A nice heartwarming tale of two friends having a picnic together. Toby has released something a little different than I’m used to, however its a really cute and sweet soundtrack with happy woodwind melodies and soothing harmonizing strings of a wide variety. Things are placed very well through out the song from little chimes and choirs to harpsichords and harps. A very robust orchestral piece and this kind of stuff is my bread and butter!

Ocean Melody – Celestium | Soundtrack / Orchestral
The perfect BGM for strolling in forests (those who played The Elder Scrolls might know why), Celestium is showcasing such inspired melodies on a progression that definitely feels OST-like, and the two sisters got another much wonderful tribute!
RedSpark – Daring | Orchestral
I absolutely love soundtrack-esque tracks and music, and this piece is no different! This track sounds like it came straight from an adventure movie, with the energetic orchestral music fitting with Daring Doo’s whole vibe. Basically, I’d say a good word for this song would be “EPIC.”
Cantersoft – Pony Pony Pony Pony | Electro Pop
pony pony pony pony pony pony pony pony pony pony pony pony pony pony pony pony
Not much else really needs to be said, but this is a nice fun and short song about… Pony. A catchy beat and melody followed by, you guessed it, many different iterations of the word “pony” (how many times do I have to say pony in this writeup whew) What can I say except ponies?
Daniel Ingram ft. Rachel Bloom – A Kirin Tale (Ardhy Remix) | Future Bass
I’m a sucker for ‘A Kirin Tale’. Its such a fun and catchy song and Ardhy took this and spun it in quite an interesting way. Powerful chords and a wide open drop. It kind of gives a more ethereal feeling to the whole thing. calming, yet energetic. Definitely a treat worth a listen in my book!
