Well, quite the fitting song, seeing how the G5 movie is released in under a month and the fandom is still going strong! As the title implies this song is about all of the happy horse days we have had and all the ones to come, especially when G5 begins!

[PF] SpinScissor – Unbound | Alternate Electronic
SpinScissor has often experimented with his own unique style of music, and this one falls right down that alley with this special sound that seems to combine the sound of the newer fandom music with the sound of the old with some parts that sound a lot like Wooden Toaster’s “Rainbow Factory” (disclaimer: don’t look that song up if you’re underaged or not into Grimdark content). This is one hell of a banger and some of the best alternative electronic we’ve seen in a good while!

Well, everypony, today we’re back again with SpinScissor, and this time he’s recruited the amazing orchestral talent that is Color & Flow! Together they have created this awesome trance banger about the Princess of the Night! This track is full of awesome Trance melodies, and SpinScissor himself provides the fantastic vocals. Combine that with the orchestral work of Color and Flow and we’ve got ourselves some of the best Trance ever made!

Skyshard – Manehattan Dreams | Hybrid Orchestral
Skyshard is slowly making a name for themselves as a fantastic orchestral producer, and this piece can only bolster that reputation. The upbeat instruments and fun hybrid parts really make you feel like you’re looking down from your balcony into the cheery, bustling streets of Manehattan.
Proofread by theCANderson, so big thanks to him!
[PF] NeighGative_ x loophoof – Twice Upon a Kingdom | Trance
Today I bring to you another exclusive track from the first full length Pony Family album, “Busy Having Fun“. While the first exclusive track went in more of an acapella direction, this one is the very definition of an upbeat EDM masterpiece! For this track NeighGative_ (also known as Brilliant Venture) and loophoof combined their talents for an awesome Trance banger that would make even Armin van Buuren blush. At five minutes long this track is on the longer end, but it doesn’t get boring for a second with its creative melody and lovely vocal chops.

Algo at All – Life is Better With You (2021 Rework) | Alternative Electronic
It’s always wonderful to see a musician grow and improve their craft, and this song is such a great example of that. Algo at All has done an amazing job of completely reworking their original track, a fun, lighthearted tune featuring great vocal chops from everyone’s favorite party pony and her song “Pinkie’s Present“. This reworked version opens with some gentle synths and pulsing, distorted bass, setting up a light melody before the vocal chops drift and pulse into the mix. The processed vocals pair amazingly with the arrangement, and when the laidback percussion kicks in and the melody comes to the foreground the listening experience is like getting a warm hug. There are some great chiptune vibes throughout the track as the arrangement keeps morphing into new, delightful forms that make me feel simultaneously nostalgic and hopeful for the future, fitting for a track that embraces the past while moving ever forward. What a lovely present.
SpinScissor – Never Everfree | Downtempo
Do you miss music from the heydays of EDM? xD Well, you’re in luck, because so does SpinScissor! Opening with a great synth and bass combo, the super processed arrangement is soon joined by appropriately processed vocals that drift through the menacing mist of the Everfree Forest as the protagonists flee from unknown terror. The track lopes along as if it’s stalking its subjects, creating tension through a menacing bassline accompanied by wonderful synth melodies that swirl and climb dramatically. The song ends on a lighter note, but the frightened ponies aren’t out of the woods yet! Do they make it safely to their destination, or are they lost forever to the incomprehensible creatures lurking in the darkness? All I know is that I enjoyed this story, and I wouldn’t mind some more!
TCB – Just Downed Another Cider, Boutta Ghost Ride The ’02 Ranger (feat. GeekBrony) | Future Bass
Inspiration truly can come from everywhere. TCB Built this fantastic tune around a sample that GeekBrony posted to Twitter, and it’s astounding that a 15 second clip posted on Twitter would spawn such an epic tune! The song emerges from the ether, whirring to life with some spacey and textured synths, slowly coalescing until the remixed sample kicks in, and then it hits with a wagonload of TCB goodness. The glitches are as scrumptious as cider, and the vocal chops from “Applejack’s Lullaby” mix beautifully with the synth melody. Then the strings kick in with some impactful drum beats adding a wonderful emotional weight as they are combined with a longer chop. The build up to the drop is delightfully subtle, but the drop is full-on, adding a new, high synth melody that ups the emotional amplitude. The cider really starts to hit after the drop as the arrangement thins out and distorts like a bad day at a carnival. Kudos to the artists for this fantastic creative effort!
[PF] Dandelion – The Alicorn Amulet | Drum & Bass
This dark and groovy drum & bass track from Dandelion is coming at you from the latest Pony Family album Busy Having Fun! If you haven’t downloaded the album yet, then definitely head here and get it! The nicely textured bass rumbles to life and soon pairs with ambient synths and terrific D&B percussion to form a moody and unsettling arrangement. A high synth joins in for classic ominous effect, and there’s some really nice movement in the track overall that evokes burbling dark power and corruption. The high synth bridge and switched up arrangement towards the end is a great moment that pushes the narrative of the song and ensures that the listener never gets too comfortable before the track rumbles to its dark conclusion.
