Another gorgeous and heartfelt release from Vylet, this one has another kind of backstory that can be read from the description, and it expresses it through mellow vocals with a dash of melancholy. The instrumental has got plenty of wonders to marvel at as well, such as a wonderful use of guitar and even harmonica!

Dj Shadow Music – Jigsaw | Hard Trap
Being a fan of the “Saw” movie series, Dj Shadow Music combined that and his passion for pony music to create this wicked Hard Trap tune. Mad drops and sick beats are making for quite a haunting and dark atmosphere, and the experiment was definitely successful! Shoutout to Dj Shadow Music for being so lovely and sweet, too! Go give him some love!
Sprocket – Dawn | Orchestral
A track as gorgeous as the name implies, Dawn benefits from an incredible progression where piano and strings are chanting a delightful ode to the Princess of the Sun. The finale is spectacular and concludes the track with stunning rays of sunlight depicted through music. Download this gem here!
[ASOS] fractilx – Stray Memory | Trance
Fractilx’s contribution to A State of Sugar Candy is an intricate yet mellow Trance beauty, that is enthralling and mesmerizing in both its composition and meaning. Almost 7 minutes of Trance greatness, it delights with style and depth!
[ASOS] GhostXb – Sugar Rush | Electro Swing
Short yet sweet like candy, this is GhostXb’s take at Electro Swing as part of A State of Sugar Candy, aptly themed around Pinkie Pie. It’s true that she’s the perfect pony for the genre, not just by reminiscence of such community classics as Gypsy Bard, but also because the uplifting and rich flavor of the genre is reflecting Pinkie’s personality. Through the groovy rythm, and the many instruments enacting their energetic melodies, this track is playing an ode to life, sweet things, and Pinkie’s perspective!
Inkwel – Manic Laughter | Dubstep
Inkwel’s amping up their Dubstep game with this raw and gritty tune themed around the impact of Pinkie’s frustrations as seen in the memorable S01E25 Party Of One! Subtle Zelda vibes are adding to the mix, for an overall quite sick and interesting piece.
Spiral Harmonies – Time To Be Awesome (Covering Daniel Ingram) | Orchestral
Spiral Harmonies aka KC Guzman delivers a stunning cover of the movie’s Time To Be Awesome, and it’s time to let that free spirit arise again in a brand new Orchestral arrangement! Percussions, strings, winds, and even bagpipes are present to pay tribute to the original song and Rainbow Dash’s role in the movie!
Rarity Advocate – Pony Piano Sonata | Piano Sonata
Rarity Advocate is back with a new piece of many wonders, and this sonata in three movements is covering various well-known songs and BGMs from the show. First are the classic melodies of Hush Now Lullaby from S01E17 Stare Master. Then the bliss of Luna’s gorgeous Night takes us away, as William Anderson’s Luna’s Theme gets covered in a beautiful way in the second movement. The last movement is a free improvisation on the Theme Song, and there couldn’t be a better finale!
[ASOS] Nevermourn – Sweet Dreams | Liquid Drum & Bass
Nevermourn continues to impress and the next gem in his streak of gorgeous tunes is a divine ode to our Princess of the Night, and a lullaby filled with untold emotion. The bass coming in at 0:43 just takes and elevates you to new planes, while the beauty of the melodies on the strings and the ambient vocals are just calling for powerful emotion. An all-time masterpiece included in the compilation album A State of Sugar Candy, and a token of the magical power of music. And it may be no coincidence that it is about Luna and the Night, a realm much known for its emotion among fellow Children of the Night… Nevermourn, your music is magic to me, and I can’t thank you enough for letting me experience it.
Mikuma – Raindrops (feat. Namii) (L.M. Remix) | Future Bass
LucienMusique returns to present us a tasty Future Bass remix of Mikuma‘s collab with Namii, and it is brimming with the musician’s expert hoof and creative vision. Laying out the vocals in a whole new progression, it brings mellow vibes as well as sick synth and percussion work reminiscent of Grey’s remix of Zedd’s Papercut (which has been adapted into an amazing PMV, by the way).
