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.
Original
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!
Vylet Pony – In A Rush (2023) | Synthpop
Vylet Pony present us with a 2023 VIP of her banger track “In A Rush” from 2017 with rerecorded and remastered instrumental and fire new lyrics! Like the old version this new version is focused around rushing away from all these bad feelings and finding a place to rush to, and this song really feels like a place we can all rush to and lose ourselves in the quick and upbeat beats and melodies and forget about everything for a while.
MelodyBrony – Far Away (ft. Blackened Blue) | Metalcore
Melody brings us this banging tune together with Blackened Blue and it is a joy to listen to! Everything from massive drums to bopping guitar melodies and lovely vocals, this track is gonna get stuck in your head for quite some time!
EveryDayDashie – Underneath The Summer Breeze | Tropical
With summer in full swing and the vacation season on the horizon, EveryDayDashie presents us with this awesome tropical tune that lets you already feel the chill atmosphere of a day at the beach! This track features everything from upbeat and exotic holiday themed instruments to some lovely singing/humming, so definitely give this banger a listen and enjoy!
Ethan Toavs – Making A Wish | Orchestral
It’s quite inspiring how Brony musicians continue to find new inspiration from MLP G4 more than 10 years after its initial release, however, Ethan Toavs takes it a step further, drawing inspiration from MLP G3, a full 20 years after its initial release! His latest track, “Make A Wish,” is based off themes presented in the original G3 soundtrack. Majestic choirs, bells, and other symphonic instruments create a beautifully magical atmosphere throughout the entirety of the piece. Sit back, relax, and let this gorgeous track take you on a journey through colorful landscapes beyond your imagination.
