Based off of the classic season one opening scene where Fluttershy learns how to cheer for Rainbow Dash, GeekBrony brings us this amazing, thumpin’ track. Using a great piano composition, unforgettable show samples, and a beat you can’t not dance to, Louder will have you bumpin’ in sync to the track. Add in a fun, moving synth and you’ve got the elements of a good song!

Wrapping up their own winter season, FillyInTheBox brings us this fascinating remix of the Hearth’s Warming Tale favorite. Combining a thick beat behind Luna’s singing at the slow tempo does wonders to emphasize the dark tone of the setting. A unique take compared to the many remixes of this track, FITB made an awesome mix that stands out by itself!
Przewalski’s Ponies x Adam Sporka – Dutch Tune (For Ember) (feat. Kirya) | Acoustic Chiptune
Yeah you read the title correctly – it’s acoustic chiptune! Adding classical music components to the original chiptune track, the talented members of Przewalski’s Ponies create an amazingly unique cover of the already exciting track. The crew put a new, exciting beat consisting of bass, tambourine, and percussion under the original Atari track with crazy acoustic riffs, an organ, and even a balalaika for a truly one-of-a-kind instrumental!

Straight From The Heart – Somethings Coming (Herd of Us) | Hip-Hop
Warning: Profanity. Quite a lot of it.
This track was a big collaboration project among several members of the brony hip-hop community. Showing that they take pride in their art, the group collectively known as “Straight from the Heart” uses this debut track to welcome all like-minded producers to their familial and always helpful musical community. Something’s Coming uses a great backing track and beat to support the excellent and diverse flow of each rapper on the track. With a broad display of talent and refreshing revival of brony hip-hop, there’s definitely a lot to be excited about for the future of the genre within the fandom!
Ponysphere & Secret Metal – She’s all mine | Hard Rock
Warning: Some swearing and implied violence in this track!
Taking influence from early, violent fanfics, She’s All Mine is a great piece of hard rock fan music. Achieving a very classic rock sound via the late 70s and early 80s, Ponysphere provides the instrumentation that drives the track in combination with Secret Metal’s vocals that bring it home. Add in a solid percussive beat and some old-school guitar solos and you’ve got well executed, rare, hard rock gem!
4everfreebrony – Lilyana’s Theme (Starved For Light: Original Soundtrack) | Orchestral
Written for the upcoming indie, platforming-adventure video game “Starved for Light”, 4everfreebrony give us this bright, flowing track as a musical descriptor to Lilyana, the brave and loving older sister to young Iris. Lilyana’s Theme utilizes brilliant piano chords with flutes to set the lighter tone of the protecting protagonist while strings come in with a moving, adventurous feel to set the scene for action. Expertly put together and thematically excellent, 4everfreebrony gives us plenty of reason to be excited for the development of this project!
Rarity Advocate – 7 Vignettes | Piano Sonata
As a piece of fine piano composition, Rarity Advocate gives us this great piece written in seven parts – one for each of the Mane 6 plus Starlight. Each movement is unique in style and reflects well with its attributed pony, while the sonata as a whole fits well together through its use of dissonant tones. Varying tempos and levels of brightness keep the composition interesting and help make 7 Vignettes a truly original track.
Drixale – A Little Mad | Future House
Everyone’s favorite commander is in a bad mood and you’ll feel it in this dark, ambient banger. Drixale mixes a great, thumping bass along with ambient and futuristic synths to create a fun, yet edgy house track. Unique in style, and fun all around to listen to, make sure to check out A Little Mad!
Zephysonas – Lunar Knights | Orchestral
One of the best things about music is the infinite creative possibilities that exist for songwriters, and Zephysonas really demonstrates ingenuity with this track. In order to give this orchestral piece elements of dubstep fusion, Zephy deconstructed the wubs from basic synths in lieu of using mainstream methods. Another beautifully executed technique on display is the use of builds through use of full orchestral instruments instead of standard electronic means, fulfilling a dubstep template almost solely with orchestral components. Lunar Knights has a fulfilling, epic sound throughout, and stands as testament to great songwriting means and execution!
