S P O O P Y M U S I C T I M E ! The original version of this was released in October 2014, and it’s been rebooted just in time for Nightmare Night 2016. It follows that sort of electro / glitch-hop crossover that I’ve seen only a few other times recently, a really cool sound, and it shows just how far Strach has come since this time 2 years ago!

Vylet Pony – Drama Queen (ft. Kyunn) | Trip Hop
Another little gem from the Love Letters EP released a few weeks ago, marking the penultimate track on the album. Beautifully jazzy piano is joined by low-key hip-hop beats and eventually by vocals from both Vylet and Kyunn with a remorseful theme.
[P@D] Jastrian – Flutterscape / ExplodingPonyToast – Grey Horizon (ft. Itchigotchi) | Chillout
In his own words, Jastrian describes this song as “Flutterbound V2”, Flutterbound being one of his slightly older and one of his better known songs. And it certainly follows the same vibe, and even makes use of very similar vocal samples, albeit all at a slower pace.
The release of Voyager marked roughly a year since one of Ponies At Dawn’s previous iterations, Starlit Flames, from which this song sort of originates. EPT has taken samples from Morgsch and Itchigotchi’s Let The Sun Rise in order to make this chilled piece that has a noticeably darker, or at least more eerie feel than the original. And the artwork used certainly suggests that too!
Ponytronic – Autumn Elegance | Drum & Bass
As the seasons change, the theme of certain songs released by brony artists does too. Have a liquid dnb track from Ponytronic to suit the season of pumpkin spice lattes autumn.
[P@D] Mantlegen – Free Fall Adventure | Electro House
I guess electro house is the best way to describe this, but that drop is something pretty unique. It seems to take some sort of influence from big room but maintains the lively mix of sounds that electro often brings to the table. So have whatever this is, Mantlegen’s solo contribution to Voyager.
CainbowRrash – Ping Timeout…Message Not Delivered | Orchestral
Ah, Fallout: Equestria, the source of many fan works past and many yet to come. I’ll avoid spoiling the inspiration behind this song, but it seems the moment from the story was particularly poignant for CainbowRrash, a new musician in the fandom. Get your fix of Fo:E inspired music for the day with this orchestral piece.
[P@D] BlueBrony – Underwater Horses | “Acid Trip Vintage Pop”
There are horses. They are underwater. I don’t think this needs further explanation.
Rusty Thorsell – Ghost from October | Pop?
It’s always rather hard to describe Rusty’s songs and his style of music. He’s more over in his corner of Sweden doing his own thing. It may be kinda hit-or-miss for some, but whether he’s using elastic bands or weird throat sounds, you can’t deny that he’s super creative with the production of his songs!
[P@D] LutariFan – Where The Heart Is | Chillout
Acting as the closing track to Voyager, this song from Lutari indicates an end to the journey that is the entire album experience. If music had a soul, this is what it would sound like. Very nice.
Sakurei- Garden of Roses | Tropical House
Something chill to start the day. If you’re wondering why you haven’t heard of Sakurei before, that’s because this is their first (and maybe only?) pony song, but we can still celebrate this! Chill / tropical house with some east Asian vibes for everyone’s favuorite flower pone.
