Today EveryDayDashie brings us a banging house tune as a bit of an anthem to the Newbie Artist Training Grounds event this year, and my god is it a banger! This track perfectly shows off the distinct sound electro house has always had, and the melody is sure to be stuck in your head for quite some time!

Equinity 06: Expedition | Compilation Album
In case you missed the release party at the end of last month, the compilation collective Equinity released their sixth album. Most of the 42 individual songs on this release are electronic, from house to dubstep to drum & bass, but there is the occasional rock or orchestral piece here and there. The artists featured this time around are also more diverse – some regular names make an appearance but there are also some new faces to add to the Equinity sonic universe.
All proceeds from Equinity’s albums also go to charity. For this album, the team have chosen to donate Hivos, an organization striving to bring gender equality, climate justice and several other important topics to attention especially in lesser developed areas of the world.
Expedition is available to download for any price from Equinity’s Bandcamp.
Nexgen – Hot Pony Summer (ft. SOUND BANDIT) | Hip-Hop
Nexgen bringing the fire in summer with his track together with SOUND BANDIT, featuring a massive beat and everything from hard hitting, quick vocals to slower, stabby raps, this track got it all! And the rhymes are just fire, from references to The Devil Wears Prada to fun lines like “leader of the pack, yeah they call me dawg”, this track is a firework of lyrics! Definitely give this track a listen!
BURNING DOWN BRIDLEWOOD – LVNDBVCK | Pop Punk
cw: explicit lyrics
Burning Down Bridlewood, a band featuring the talent of rawrity, debuts with a banger, “LVNDBVCK”. The title is a play on “LAND BACK”, and the song’s edgy lyrics are about taking back land which was unfairly redistributed sometime between the G4 and G5 eras. The track buzzes with the pop punk energy of guitars, the crisp click of drumsticks, and the classic pony chops you’ve grown to love in rawrity’s songs. The vocals straddle near hyperpop territory, giving the song even more energy and creating a really cool texture. Nice work!
rawrity – touching grass | pop
The phrase “Go Touch Grass” has often been a negative phrase that people tell others on the internet to go chill out, get off the internet, and go outside. However, rawrity changes the stigma with one of her newest songs “touching grass.” From the synth buildup, to the fade out, what I appreciate most about this song is how it feels like a wakeup call that can be interpreted however it is needed, and the chill melody adds onto that realization. You can really tell when a musician puts their heart and soul into a piece, and this piece is no exception; this is always something I love about rawrity’s work: every single song was made with 100% pure passion and emotion, which I feel is how music should be.
Rarity Vrymer Collective – Datacity (VIP) | Dubstep
RVC’s latest track is an insane, heavy handed, mix with samples taken from many sources and combines many styles of electronic music. The track begins with a high energy Pinkie Pie sample, joined by heavy percussion leading into a killer drop with tons of glitches and huge wubs. The energy doesn’t die down, quickly cycling through drop after drop, each with its own unique style. In the middle, there’s a calmer section with a lush, melodic synth before dropping back into the dubstep. Overall, the sound design is expertly crafted, placing samples in excellent spots, and is well mixed together. This one will keep you on your toes!
Biscuit – A Letter To My Worst Friends, And My Best Enemies (Ft. Nugget) | Metalcore
Biscuit has teamed up with Nugget to deliver this power house of a track to raise awareness of mental Health and suicide prevention. The track begins with contemplative and ominous guitars before the full band kicks in. The raw emotion in the screaming vocals tells the personal tale of Biscuit’s struggle with mental health. The lyrics are brave, with rhymes like “rose above” and “travel the world doing what I love.” Between the bouts of full metal, the song eases up, allowing Nugget’s orchestration to shine and giving the piece incredible dynamic contrast. Overall, it’s an incredible song and a great way to raise awareness. If you or a loved one is struggling with mental health, please know that, as Biscuit says, “You are not alone. You matter, and it always gets better”

Makaryo – BE MYSELF | Alternative Rock
Today Makaryo brings us a Chapter 4 song centered around Misty and her redemption. BE MYSELF is a lovely Rock song that brings across this chill and relaxing energy while having quite the empowering vocals, so definitely check it out for yourself!
Jyc Row – Goddess of Machines | Orchestral
Jyc Row has always been one of the household staples for epic orchestra with their impressive buildups and their choir vocalization, but this time they take it a step further with their track “Goddess of Machines.” While this song continues with said aspects of Jyc Row’s style of music, they added some industrial sounds to this track like synth bursts in lengths like a warning siren & a cyberpunk-style fade out, which perfectly emulates the feeling of a corrupted Sweetie Bot. I wish there was an actual movie trailer for this song as it feel like there is an actual Sweetie Bot movie coming to cinemas every time I listen to it.
Evershade & MelodyBrony – Pushin’ Buttons (feat. ProtoShadez) | Pop
Evershade is great at creating very catchy, pop melodies and this collaboration with ProtoShadez and MelodyBrony is no exception! Originally released on ASoS:Doughnut, Evershade doubled down to create a fantastic PMV with expertly edited clips from the show revolving around the subject character Suri Polomare. The hypnotic synths, immersive vocals, fun effects, and impossibly catchy beat will keep you bumpin’ along with even the most evil characters!
