Amazing song coming from one of the hottest voices of the New Wave of Brony Punk – Quicksilver! The song about the episode P.P.O.V. (Pony Point of View) has awesome guitar riffs, good drum beats and the vocals are very similar to some modern pop punk / emo-pop acts. It’s a song full of energy and some guitars riffs are really atmospheric. Be sure to listen to this!
Original
[LDB] NeoN – Worth (feat. Kozmos) | Tropical House
Not so much rap in the fandom nowadays compared to in the past, but there’s been some improvement on that front recently with a few new people coming to the fore a bit more! NeoN has teamed up with rapper Kozmos to produce a super cool tropical house tune with great vocals and nice synths.
MC-Arch – I am Alive. | Hip Hop
MC-Arch has released an album/mixtape of a bunch of his tunes, so it’s a great way to check out what he has to offer – soulful and heartfelt vocals about what’s important to him in life, with more a little dose of Fluttershy to be found throughout.
[LDB] SDreamExplorerS – Burden | Neurofunk
SDreamExplorerS has given electronic music a try, and despite normally producing metal, he’s done a pretty good job with drum & bass too! Strong melodies combine with solid neuro basslines to make a super cool experience with plenty of energy.
[P@D] Faulty – Sunrise | Melodic House
Faulty hasn’t been around all that long, but he’s already produced some awesome tracks, and this is probably my favourite so far from him! Some of the best use of Applejack’s vocals I’ve heard combine with super happy synths and awesome melodies galore. Very much in the style of other artists such as John Kenza/Kadenza, this nonetheless stands out on its own thanks to the awesome stylistic choices throughout the track.
[P@D] GhostXb – They Mustn’t See Me Cry (feat. BriLizy T) | Orchestral Hip Hop
GhostXb is really getting good at this hip hop-influenced orchestral style, and this is certainly his best track of that nature yet! Featuring gorgeous emotional Sunset Shimmer vocals from BriLizy T, the hip hop percussion combines brilliantly with light orchestral strings and some nice subtle guitar too. The song tells the tale of Sunset struggling with her emotions whilst transitioning from foe to friend to the Mane 6.
Mane In Green – Moment Musical | Orchestral
This piece from Mane In Green lies heavily on its incredibly strong composition, with an increasingly complex violin-centric piece. It feels as if Octavia is putting on a concert performance that steadily increases to a grand crescendo before it ends!
Nicolas Dominique – Le Soleil | Ambient
A gentle, soothing and steadily evolving piece from Nicolas Dominique! The way the bells are used makes it feel especially mystical, especially when combines with the occasional heavy chime sounds.
[LDB] Totalspark – Dancing in the Moonlight VIP | Future Bass
The responsibility of a community compilation album’s closing track is not one that should be underestimated. While it plays little part in keeping the listener hooked, it determines the finish, the aftertaste which lingers for hours after one has concluded one’s first playthrough, and is quite instrumental to the first impression.
On the newest LDB release Beats Me 3, Totalspark takes care of all this flawlessly with his new take on Dancing in the Moonlight.
While the original is well over a year old and relied on excellent use of negative space and beautiful piano composition to carry it, the 2017 VIP is quite different in execution, if not in concept. Totalsparks once again proves that he can uphold the quality benchmark set by his latest releases, utilising beautiful arps, crisp percussion and lush chords to create an immersive and satisfying experience. A brand new lead synth guides you through both energetic drops, and the track culminates in a gorgeous piano outro.

[LDB] Tripon – Queen of the Cavern | Dub
For his first release after the name tweak—specifically, the introduction of a pony specific alias—Tripon embraces his previously underexposed halftime side.
Queen of the Cavern is a brilliantly produced specimen of an underground genre that has not been traditionally represented within the fandom, and is as such an even more welcome release. Tripon sources inspiration from the still-fresh Season 7 episode Rock Solid Friendship, which is prominently sampled within the tune, to construct a scenario in which Maud instrumentalises her in-depth knowledge of Equestrian geology to its full extent. The result is a marvellous subwoofer workout that is as minimal & hard as Maud’s emotional pallet, which also further diversifies the arsenal of genres 2017 pony music can offer its listeners.
