UndreamedPanic’s house tunes are some of my favourite creations in the fandom, so it’s always awesome to see more of them from him. This one features some excellent vocals from Namii, which complement the superb vocal chopping that occurs throughout the track. Some powerful dance-y piano provides impetus to the piece, and the bright and uplifting synth design and composition wraps it all together nicely.

What an awesome orchestral track we’ve got from The Balefire Symphony here! It’s a heavy orchestral/rock hybrid track about Red Eye, an antagonist from Fallout Equestria. There’s a great mix of guitar and strings, plus some solid percussion backing it up.

A gorgeous chilled out tune here from Totalspark! This piece is full of lovely soft synth sounds and reverberating bells that play some beautiful melodies as steady drum & bass percussion resonates throughout.
Namii done a cute! This song still holds a firm place in my heart and the hearts of so many others, and it’s really interesting to hear a slower, more stripped-back version of the song in a softer tone.

Einarx’s dubstep is always awesome, but especially so when combined with interesting compositional design. That’s the case here with some strong arabian influence to the whole track. The drop itself is full of a great mix of different sounds, and is arranged in a way that keeps things interesting, but also with the power indicative of Tempest Shadow.
I simply ADORE this kind of Drum & Bass. RoomVR just consistently makes incredible liquid dnb tracks that are smooth, chill and quite frankly in my opinion, downright beautiful. Okay, I admit it probably helps that Protocat and Natus’ original version of this song was already stunning, but RoomVR has still manages to transform it while keeping the same emotion of the original. And it’s a great debut to Room’s own YouTube channel too! Another of my favourites from Rebirth, without a doubt.
Trance is my favorite genre, and uplifting trance is one of my favorite subgenres of trance. Add in a Starlight theme and brilliant composition, and I’m surprised my mouse button didn’t break from how fast I clicked download. This one’s truly breathtaking: cold, energetic, hypnotic, and rich. The progression of Starlight’s story is frozen in sound, from her time running Equal Town to Starswirl’s spell to her eventual reformation.
Here’s a super cute song from Homage and TCB that just makes you wanna cuddle up with somebody and wait out a rain storm. I love the sound design in here with all the leads and melodies adding up to make everything super cozy.
Note: Since the original video got deleted, you may find the WAV file of the song here.
👏 VYLET’S 👏 GOT 👏 A 👏 NEW 👏 ALBUM 👏 and this is one of the first songs released from it. The album “is a story about two witch ponies in somewhat of an alternate Universe from the canon MLP storyline”. Stylistically speaking, it seems to be a culmination of sorts of the Indie Pop and Lo-Fi paths that Vylet’s been moving along these past few months. So pretty much cute, chill, and extremely pleasant to listen to. Check out Destiny Station and if you like it, try out the whole album too!
Holy moly collaberoni! This song originally came from another Ponies At Dawn album, Guardians, as an electro-pop piece inspired by the likes of Glaze and the whole kinda Rainbow Factory universe he created. Now, with the help of some friends, it’s been completely transformed into a softer acoustic piece with a ton of vocal harmonies, some sax (always need more sax!) and even an funky little organ solo in the middle. This has to be one of my favourites from Rebirth, great job by everyone involved!
