Words sometimes cannot describe how much raw emotion can come from a single track, and as I sit here typing & re-writing this post, the one word I keep circumnavigating to is…wow…just wow… Where do I even begin? RoseTV definitely left a mark with this maiden pony track. Based off an old idea/theory that they made ten years ago about Luna’s transformation and mindset behind becoming Nightmare Moon, this dynamic track with combination of soft piano, simple drums, repeating lyrical lines, and distant harmonies will make you want to raise your arms up and absolutely pour your soul out to the lyrics with others in unity (in a similar fashion to the modern day “worship” songs). It’s a lyrical beauty that will turn off your mind and turn on your heart.
Original
ALostCarolean – Starlight’s Last Glimmer | Darksynth / Industrial
Another spectacle of a darksynth tune has been delivered to us, thanks to ALostCarolean. And this tune, tells the story of a falsehood, leading to a betrayal with no escape, fueling a plot of revenge… and finally, Starlight’s last Glimmer. A story told with amazing electronics and sinister instrumental works. I love the flow of it and the overall vibe of a scheme being played out to upmost perfection, just like this tune, with epic build-ups and outstanding blast-offs!
Spikey Wikey – The Sirens | Bass House
Propa dir’y stuff this. Spikey Wikey is not only a connoisseur of electronic music in the fandom, but he makes some fantastic music himself too! This track draws on inspiration from UK bass styles of music, with somewhat minimal drums letting the lower register speak for itself. Interspersed with samples of the Dazzlings from Rainbow Rocks too, it has an element of darkness that draws you in and hints at the force of nature you’re about to face off against.
EveryDayDashie – Pony Mission Voyage | World
EveryDayDashie’s “Pony Mission Voyage” sounds just like the name suggests—it’s a rhythmic adventure taking the listener across a vast number of soundscapes, each inspired by a different tradition! In it, you’ll hear many different folk instruments like sitars and xylophones mixed with orchestral and brass hits. There’s even some synths snuck in here and there, with a dubstep-like section in the middle that blends its bass with the other folk instruments, creating a unique sound. Of course, it wouldn’t be EveryDayDashie without a few melodic MLP references to complete the track. Fantastic work!
PrinceWhateverer – Spare Me! (ft. Rarity [BGM]) | Metal
Prince back at it again with another ABSOLUTE banger. This time, featuring our beloved fashion horse; Rarity (voiced using TalkNet). And let me tell you, she DEFINITLY has a few things to say throughout this epic metal track, about fakeness and how obtuse people can be. It can take a lot from people who constantly have to surround themselves with such folk. I am so glad Rarity expresses that throughout this song together with Prince and BGM! The guitar work is once again phenomenal, the chorus is an absolute bastion of epicness, and the vocals of both NAIL it!
Jyc Row – Apostles of the Sacred Fire (Ayzat the Wingless theme) [elg. Gabriel Borza] | Symphonic Metal
The ONE and ONLY Jyc Row, ONCE AGAIN delivers another wonderful tune for us to enjoy and cherish, featuring the talent of Gabriel Borza! If your hype & excitement for Infinite Eclipse wasn’t there yet, I am sure it will after hearing this absolute FIRESPARK of a song! Representing the sacred fire of the Kirins, Jyc & Gabriel unleash its fury through your speakers! With majestic orchestral and outstanding guitar works becoming ONE to bring you another piece originating from this epic story! Feel free to embrace it and just be in the moment. Marvellously done Jyc & Gabriel!
EveryDayDashie – Pezuña al Corazón | Latin Rock
Here we go!~ with this lovely tune made by the oh so amazing EveryDayDashie! I knew that Dashie was amazing in EVERY direction he goes when talking music…but Latin Rock? That’s just amazing! I believe, it truly speaks volumes on how talented this person is! Dashie delivers us today; Pezuña al Corazón. Which is Spanish for “hoof to heart”. A TRUE code to live by, and expressed wonderfully throughout this song with an out-of-this-world passion for G5 with a Latin tint added unto it! Epic vocals, epic drums, wonderful melodies! It’s ALWAYS a pleasure to write for Dashie. Keep being you, and keep spreading your wonderful messages of love and endearment for the ponies we love!
Violin Melody – Press Start | Future House
Ah, Violin Melody… so happy to hear from her again with her epic music tunes! I couldn’t wait to Press Start on this. (NO PUN INTENDED I SWEAR) And you bet that it’s ALWAYS pleasure to do! This lovely, bouncy, and hyper track ABSOLUTELY delivers… I love the shifts, the overall vibe, the electronics… WHAT A TRACK! And It’s always a pleasure as well to write music with Sunny involved. I’d LOVE to more video games involving her to be honest. I think she’s great. The rainbow power of this track flowing hard and beautifully just like her mane… Epic! great work Violin! Keep it up with your wonderful melodies… It’d be an honour to write for you again. ❤
MCO945 – Sunlight Path | Liquid Drum & Bass
A recent release from MCO945 has me in awe honestly, it’s not often you see such great Liquid D&B tracks. It’s ethereal and light, funky, the pads that play throughout are the best thing about the track, and the shuffle-like drums add a very catchy rhythm, kind of reminds me of Desimal’s works. The whole song gets you the feeling of ascension to heaven, with Princess Celestia waiting there to comfort you, as depicted in the artwork. Seriously, give this song a listen, you won’t regret it.
TM – ¡Viva Las Pega! | Hip-Hop
I know summer hasn’t arrived yet, but I’m already feeling like vacationing in a tropical utopia! Dream vacations are no longer an imaginary fantasy as TM’s new gorgeous track “¡Viva Las Pega!” delivers a fresh, upbeat Hip-Hop vibe with its rich instrumentation. From the punchy drums to the lively trumpet fluttering in the air, you can feel the entire spectrum of vibrations around you as if you’re immersed in a real excursion to your dream destination. Give it a listen if you’re in for a chill and relaxing voyage, but don’t forget to hop in the vacation van and let TM show you the astonishing scenery all around!
