What happens when you blend DnB with Reggae influences, and then add Derpy to the mix? Unpredictable musical wonders! With only the finest musical tastes, Spikey Wikey delivers in style with this piece from the recently released Party’s Over that’s infused with our community pony mascot… And we are happy to hear her, even if she seems to be causing trouble again! I just don’t know what went wrong!

Whirlwind – In the mind of a Killer | Dark Ambient / Drone
Musical experiments in the dark must be so fun! Our awesome drummer friend Whirlwind gave it a try and golly, that is such an intense atmosphere! And along with those faded vocal samples, it really is spooky. Not to mention that only-slightly disturbing cover art! A very successful experiment for sure!
Bitl, Choruscation & Heartsong – Rising Dawn | Album | Orchestral
In the memory of Stormfall Drizzle, Bitl, Choruscation and Heartsong crafted heartfelt tributes in the way of deep and meaningful Orchestral beauties. The very emotional Stormfall’s Lullaby, Nimbus acting like a perfect requiem, the progressive and melodic masterpiece Stormfall from Heartsong that incidentally yet fittingly calls back to the melody from Skyrim’s main theme, and the collab Sisters Forever that includes quotes of great life advice from Stormfall, are all paying much tribute to our late friend and showing once more the big heart of our community. The album is available on Bandcamp here! Also check out the B-Sides!
Spikey Wikey – Booty Time | Trap
Saucy visuals warning! Another track available on the newly-released album Party’s Over, this daring experiment is certainly bringing the fun and joining Pinkie’s Element that way! Featuring art by OmegaOzone, the saucy Trap beat has Pinkie herself presenting her… assets, thanks to masterful vocal chopping, not without reminding of the art present in some MLPYTP. Definitely an awesome initiative!
Crusader! – My Dragon Waifu | Pop Punk
Perhaps echoing the classic Tubby Wubby Pony Waifu, Crusader wrote an upbeat yet rocking tune about the #1 dragon waifu choice Ember! This is sure to please the enthusiasts of Tsundember love, with the catchy anthem conveying all of our feelings in harmony, along Crusader’s lovely vocals!
Spikey Wikey – Party’s Over VIP | Gabber
We’re all mad here… A most tasteful re-imagining of Party Of One, this story-centered renewed take on the collab Party’s Over by Spikey has also got a short fanfic to go along with it (dark content warning!), and by reading it prior you really get to appreciate all the next-level story-telling in the track! This is part of a brand new album from the musician, also titled Party’s Over!
[P@D] Niłch’i Poni – Memories of Ambrosia | Downtempo / Liquid Drum & Bass
An absolute masterpiece taking you emotionally from the very start, Niłch’i Poni‘s contribution to Ponies at Dawn Eternal is an experience to say the least. Taking you through unknown realms, showcasing insane sound design and captivating atmospheres, the piece then uplifts you with the power of DnB with such an intense part, complete with deep bass and here again, a lot of emotion to complete the otherworldly journey through sound. A pre-release from Drumscape Library!
Djohn Mema – It’s Nightmare Moon (feat. Cyril the Wolf, SlightlyAmiss, Pinkaboo & Blackened Blue) | Metal
We can never get enough fan songs about classic themes, and these cool lads understood that very well. A lovely collab from Djohn Mema featuring Cyril the Wolf, SlightlyAmiss, Pinkaboo and Blackened Blue, this new Metal treat is quite impressive as it sings in the perspective of Nighmare Moon and there’s some kind of voice acting to it too, and that is definitely one of the many special powers of the genre. The doomsday keyboard melodies are amazing to act as the harbinger of the mare’s wrath, as the heavy guitar riffs reflect all her suppressed feelings so well. A masterpice for sure!!
[P@D] Blackened Blue – Set In Stone | Metal
Part of Ponies at Dawn Eternal, this pre-release is giving a taste of all the delightful rock/metal gems that you’ll find on the album. I’m happy that Blackened Blue is kicking it off on YouTube, with such a lovely and deep tribute to the Pillars of Equestria! All of Blackened’s mastery of the genre was used to craft this piece of many wonders that will take you through several vocal styles and a rich instrumentation with all those blissful rock instruments that we love. Give it up for Blackened, who’s also helping out in here at Horse Music Herald!
Dijit – Peppermint (feat. Puffy) (DeaDmau6 Remix) | Future Bass
Quite an emotional remix of Dijit‘s original track, this new musical endeavor by DeaDmau6 is giving a new spin to the original vocal chops with this slower play, and provides a new instrumental accompaniment that empowers the emotion gotten from the chops with a powerful deep bass and ambient melodies. That makes for such a creative contrast and dynamic with the vocals, and sparks a certain magic that I couldn’t explain with words.
