Sound Bandit’s been discovering a newfound love for G3 and this song is the result of that. As well as a unique style of music that turns from soft pianos and pads into electronic drum sounds, this song carries the message of shining your light for everyone – be the person you are and don’t be afraid to show it!
Original
Anamore – Everything To Me (Misty Song) | Drum & Bass
It’s great to see that the fandom is continuing to make plenty of music inspired by the latest generation of MLP, such as this Misty-inspired drum and bass song from Anamore. She explores a headcanon of what could happen in the current season; her vocals being at the forefront of everything, but backed up by a driving dnb beat mixed with pianos and electric guitars to make it nice and heavy too!
EveryDayDashie – Pony Dance Party | Hard House
EveryDayDashie’s back at it again with his take on hardstyle with a song that’s bound to make you bounce (EDIT: apparently this style is called “hard house”). Taking inspiration from the official MLP podcast (side note – did you know there’s an official MLP podcast? I didn’t!) this is a great uptempo and fast-paced song to dance your hooves off to. Great melodies and supersaws build up to a drop with a fun triplet feel to make the whole song bounce a little bit more.
rawrity – extremelyonline.mpg | Pop
This is a vibe right here. The attenuated vocals give off a hyper pop feel while being very laid back and groovy! Gated string chords, hip hop breakbeats and a nostalgic helping of iconic short vocal chops that still manage to convey it’s simple yet heartfelt message.
When the world gets you down, friendship will conquer all.
Radiarc – Gazing Through a Window | Hybrid Orchestral
Radiarc is back with yet another incredible display of craftsmanship! The somber melodies of the piano, saturated with the undertones of glitched, industrial breakbeats exude a powerful emotion coupled with the winding string and vocal harmonies.
Overwhelming, wondrous, haunting.
A world in ceaseless motion as described by the artist, this song really conveys the message of watching things tear themselves apart and wondering if anything they’ve done has made a dent, as things carry on as planned.
There is so much I try to put into words about this piece yet some thoughts can only be expressed in sound, do not miss out on this one!

Continue readingNugget – The Winter Gala | Orchestral
It’s fair to say Nugget’s orchestral pieces are more subdued than his metal music but it still paints a picture. The darkness of the winter days is reflected in the unusual scales the lead instruments follow and waltz rhythm gives a regal feel, fitting of any gala.
rawrity – ponies need more love (ft. sound bandit) | hyperpop
❗❗❗ New artist alert 🔔🔔 This right here is rawrity’s debut – a chill hyperpop song featuring sound bandit all about the importance of community within the fandom. It’s got a sort of comforting nostalgia about it, even though it’s in a very modern style. I’m definitely looking forward to hearing more from rawrity!
Skyshard – Her Adventure Begins | Epic Orchestral
Considering that this comes from a collection of songs telling a story about heroes, this song from Skyshard has a very fitting style and soundscape! Taken from their most recent album, Tiny Sky, it certainly sounds like the introduction to an epic tale. There’s a great use of a recurring motif and a nice bit of modal interchange that I personally always love to hear in music.
ALostCarolean – The Queen of The Hive | Darkwave
Nightmare Night may be over, but we can keep the theme dark if we want! This latest offering from ALostCarolean takes some 80s-inspired synthwave sounds and combines it with heavily distorted and driving bass to create this imposing theme for Chryssy. But it’s not just another Changeling-themed song we’ve got here, but also the promise of an entire EP dedicated to the shapeshifters coming in about a month’s time! If you like this sort of thing, keep an eye on ALC’s YouTube channel for more…
