Vylet Pony – Oak Library | Lofi Hip-Hop

The cheerful comfort of a happy home and good company. The golden oaks seemed like more than just a home for Twilight but an extremely fitting extension of her character. It was a relaxed setting of simplicity and comfort for a librarian horse, her friends, and their daily life challenges and shenanigans.  An implementation of soft and cheery instrumentations and a few thoughtful vocals simply make this song feel cozy and welcoming. Vylet’s Oaks library is a perfect tribute to this important and memorable setting from the show’s early seasons. (I think I miss the Golden Oaks <3)

Zephysonas – Snow Song | Ambient Orchestral

Capturing the very sensation of the winter season, here is a great instrumental piece highlighting the magic and mystery of snowfall at dusk. Zephysonas uses ambient piano chords which immediately bring images of wintertime and the early dark of night while keeping the tone of the track light with playful mallets invokng visions of light, frosty snowflakes dancing in the breeze. Simple, yet refined, Snow Song is a great example of how music can make you feel the cold of winter in such a way that you appreciate the season for the sensation.

Jyc row, I am so PROUD of you! look at you go man, collabing with Michelle Creber and Blackgryph0n! Wooo! Although the Woodlore version stays amazing, I think Gabriel also did a marvelous job!

[P@D] Hydra – Iced Coffee | Melodic Trap

With the newest Ponies at Dawn around the Corner, we enter the movement once again with a beautiful Melodic Trap made by Hydra. I don’t understand however how this Coffee is still Iced though, at least my coffee would be all warm since this beat is fire. ^^ the vocal chops are pretty cool. The synths and beat are smooth and slick and I just really enjoy the vibe it gives off – pretty mystical and hard as well. The build-up and everything around it is awesome. Keep it up Hydra, and congrats with getting on P@D ^^

Show some love everybody ❤

ModernBard – The Future of Equestria II | Ambient

ModernBard has been getting back into ambient music and futuristic imaginations of Equestria. This song is part of an EP of sorts, with parts III and IV also now released on his channel (part I was originally posted 6 months ago), so check them if out if you’re into this sort of thing!

AndNoOneDriving – Bitter Daybreaker | Post Rock

The second of AndNoOneDriving’s recent Post Rock ventures, this progressive piece is about Celestia and a part of her character depth that many have pondered about already – a potential thirst for power, and using all that powerful magic sealed within. The advent of Daybreaker (despite only in a dream) in S07E10 A Royal Problem caused a paradigm shift for some, and the inspiration it gave to the community won’t fade for a while. Bitter Daybreaker is another proof of that, with heavy guitars and epic melodies hinting at a possible power outbreak from the Princess of the Sun, and delivering one amazing musical experience much fitting to its concept.

Edit: The song appears to have been deleted from the channel for unknown reasons, so in the meantime you can listen to it from here.

Mantlegen – Hyper-analog Friendship | Drum & Bass

Oldie-goldie ahoy! Originally part of the compilation album “We’re in Equestria with Our Sound” (now unavailable), this sweet DnB tune from Mantlegen has beautiful and friendly Equestrian vibes, reflecting the title in one cool and bright melodic composition.

AndNoOneDriving – Wind to the Wing | Post Rock

Being inspired by Post Rock gigs at a pony convention, and several pony themes, AndNoOneDriving wrote amazing and meaningful Post Rock tracks of his own and this is the first of them! Paying tribute to Scootaloo’s very relatable character depth and feelings (for me too), Wind to the Wing is an incredible progressive piece featuring both soft parts of blissful guitar melodies, and heavier parts expressing feelings with the power of rock music! The bass play is delightful as well and perhaps it’s no coincidence given that “Scootabass” Scootaloo is often portrayed playing a bass guitar in fanarts. Wind to the Wing is definitely a masterpiece, to enjoy over and over again!

It’s available as part of the album Nocturnal Harmonies!
