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!

Sable Symphony – When Dawn Turns to Dusk | Progressive Metal
I’m honestly more and more impressed every time Sable puts out a new song. They’re constantly improving on their technical skill when it comes to recording and mixing songs – everything sounds so clear, and I’ve not even started on the performance itself! I love slightly more complex time signatures and all that jazz, so I was hooked from the intro. It was a pleasant surprise to see that Luck Rock wrote the lyrics to this – the combo of Luck’s writing and Sable’s performance was something I never anticipated but works so well!
Funny thing is, I’m not even a particularly big metal fan, I just enjoyed this so much! 👏👏👏
Rockin’Brony – I’ll Fly Higher (covering AcoustiMandoBrony) | Rock
I’ll Fly Higher is probably my favourite of the collabs Acoustic Brony and Mandopony did back in the day, and it’s great to hear Rockin’ take on a full cover of the entire 7-minute song, instruments and all! Whether or not you enjoy some of the fandom ‘classics’, go take a listen to this, Rockin’ given it his all for a fantastic cover.
Top Pony Songs of January 2018!
No, that’s not a typo in the title. Things are running a little bit differently with the Top Ten now, for a start it’s no longer a Top Ten. Unfortunately low turnout has led to a change in the format for this, so now it’s simply a collection of the most popular voted songs; in order but not starting at any particular number.
Horse Music Hotspot – January 2018
New year, new selections for the hotspot, and this month rocked! A great deal of fantastic rock and acoustic tunes feature this month and even an acapella piece too.
To listen in live, tune in to Ponyville FM at 4PM Eastern on the last Sunday of each month!
Tracklist and embeds available after the break
L.M. & FritzyBeat – Time Lapse | Indie Dance
Songs like this serve as reminder to me that I NEED TO READ SOME MORE OF THIS FANDOM’S FANFICTION. But back to the music – not only is L.M.’s production always incredible, but you can guarantee that lyrics written by Fritzy will have so much work put into them in order to make them that little bit more special. Amazing work from both of them!
Nicolas Dominique – Miracles of the Midnight Sky | Chillout
Praise the moon! Nicolas released this yesterday as a present for Thorinair, one of the fandom’s longest-running trance DJs and producers. Sweet downtempo drum patterns and smooth plucked synths match the nocturnal theme nicely too.
Blackened Blue – Dark Secret | Alternative Metal
Blackened Blue has been around for a while, but this is their first original release in nearly a year, and it’s great to see musicians getting back into the swing of things by releasing new music. This new song based on the story of Luna and her Tantabus has a great metalcore sort of vibe with its punchy, fast-paced drums and fantastic riffs!
sci – Fluttershy in Kanadaland (Technickel Pony Remix) | Hip-Hop
Technickel Music/Pony/Ted’s always been great at making remixes with that classic hip-hop feel. I admittedly don’t know the orignal version of this, but Ted sure follows in sci’s sample-based footsteps with his production style…but in a slightly less chaotic fashion.
Horse Music Hotspot – December 2017
A slightly longer (and later) episode than usual to round off the year, with our usual selection, plus a bunch of festive piano and orchestral tracks from some artists you might not expect!
