There’s a lot to be excited about when a talented artist takes a familiar, if underrated G4 song and turns it into something that feels new while also making it easy and natural to sing along on your first listen! Cosmonaut Pony sings their own version of the the Pony Pokey from “The Best Night Ever” with a crazy catchy twist on the sound design! Buzzing synths and synth guitar fill the air as the pleasingly stylized vocals take you on a ride through the deep, echoing party soundscape. Is it a cover? Is it a remix? The only thing that is for sure is that you’ll love what happens to your ears when you listen!
Synthpop
Twilike – I’m With You | Synthpop
“I’m With You” is not only a song, but a whole story. It is a message Twilight Sparkle would have let to the future generations, and the energetic yet chill vibes given by the instrumentals as well as the sad tone added by the lyrics gives this track the perfect balance it needed to appreciate the lullaby brought by our favorite purple horse. Close your eyes, listen to this song, and let yourself flow through the nostalgia of the show and the adventures it has given us!
Pipetka – Party in the style of Trixie | Synthwave
replacer – star sapphire in space | Synthwave
Replacer has been on a roll this past year, producing banger after banger & showing us that after 10+ years of making music in the fandom, they are still going strong. Synthwave has always been one of those genres that doesn’t come up that often, but when it does it is a treat for the ears – and this track is no exception. From the out-of-this-world, “spaced out” (puns intended) melodies and almost atmospheric core, I can’t help but feel relaxed, yet stimulated at the same time. Anyone else up for a retro space adventure with this song as the soundtrack?
NeverLastStanding – Pony Shelter | Electronic
“I was so excited when I heard the opening notes of ‘Shelter’ done with pony chops,” they whisper in the halls of convention hotels long after the concert has ended. “But I tried to find it online, it’s never been posted anywhere.” More like a myth than a song despite having heard it with my own ears…
The year is 2023. It is a month before NeverLastStanding’s final MLP performance with Loophoof at Everfree Northwest, and the legendary “Pony Shelter” has finally dropped! A recreation of “Shelter” by Porter Robinson and Madeon, its synths so warm and pure and full of light, its pony chops evoking emotions long thought to have been lost, its stunning visuals showing Celestia nurturing Twilight and then Twilight nurturing Luster Dawn, a powerful way to echo its lyrics, “I’ll give them shelter like you’ve done for me.” Euphoria. Words can’t do justice to how this song makes one feel.
It’s been a huge honor to see NLS perform this one live in his farewell performance to the fandom. Best of luck entering the next era of your creative journey!
The Wilders – Show Me Your Pony Moves (Childlike Wonder Remix) | Synthpop
Childlike Wonder’s remix of “Show Me Your Pony Moves” is such a bop! It takes the original mix from Make Your Mark Chapter 4 and adds in an extra groovy bass line. The new snare is clean and crisp and there’s also some really nice whips in the high end. Towards the end, Wonder fills in an additional melodic line, really putting the synth in synth pop. The remix makes great use of the original material, and will have you dancing on your hooves for sure.
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.
Harmony Bop – TRUST IN LOVE | Synthpop / Metal
If ever there was a cartoon about the adventures of Princess Cadance, then this would absolutely need to be the theme song! Harmony Bop’s bright synth hook, energetic drums and driving guitars create a fun and welcoming atmosphere for the Princess to deliver her sage wisdom. Sung from her point of view, Cadance sings that you need to “Trust In Love” because trust is so important to romantic relationships. Full of totally unique sections to change the pacing and emotion, Harmony Bop keeps you on your toes while constructing an experience that works perfectly as one!
ALostCarolean – All Hail The Queen | Darksynth
Need some dark, industrial-sounding synthwave but also enjoy classical pieces with multiple movements? ALostCarolean might just have you covered here with this 8-and-a-half-minute composition inspired by the bug queen herself. Grinding bass and floating lead synths pair together to make something that’s both atmospherically spooky and in-your-face scary.
Japkozjad – The Emotional Voyage | Synthpop
Today Japkozjad brings us another amazing track, this time we’re going into synthpop! Despite the more dark title and artwork, this track is rather cheery, delivering happiness right to your doorstep with it’s lovely vocal chops, upbeat melodies and rhythmic drums, defintiely give this track a listen and enjoy for yourself!
