Art by ACharmingPony. Because it’s been months since we posted any Taviscratch on Twitter!
In case some of you didn’t know, we’re very much behind on posting current music, so we thought one way to help us catch up would be to compile all the Hearts and Hooves music into one post for you to enjoy! Catch it all after the break…
NB: Some of these songs were originally posted on Equestria Daily by ExplodingPonyToast, with a note and link to the original posts where necessary.
The monthly community-voted top ten is back again, the first of the year. January’s results include 4everfreebrony, a show song remix, and a meme. So business as usual for the fandom it seems…
Although the PMAs are still in the works, and the Top 25 of 2016 has been scrapped, the Top Ten Pony Songs of January 2016 is now open for voting. At least there might be less confusion between the events… You can check out all the songs released in January here, and fill in the voting form here. Don’t forget, there have been plenty of songs from Amity released this month!
Hey, so, sorry we weren’t able to let you know about this in advance of the live airing, but we have a new timeslot for the Horse Music Hotspot. It’ll still air on the last Sunday of each month, but at 9pm UTC (4pm EST) instead of 10pm EST – perhaps a much more accessible time of day for most of you.
New Year, new Ponies at Dawn album (yes, already!), from which we feature a few tracks this month, but with plenty of other music from various artists too! Now with seemingly more dnb than ever before, and some fantastic collaborations and remixes.
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
27 January 2016. That was the day we officially launched this website. I can’t believe it’s been a whole year already and how much we’ve done in that time.
Since launching we have covered…
Fun facts: this means that, on average, we’ve posted almost 4 songs per day, a compilation album is released once every 26 days, and artists release individual albums or EPs every 8 days!
I wanted to say thanks to all of you who’ve believed in and supported us over the past year – here’s to another year of music!
Thanks to all our affiliates and friends (who we should perhaps affiliate with) for sharing the love with us.
And a special thanks to the rest of the team: Francis, EPT, Makenshi, Intersekt, hackd, Xavi, Gunz, and more recently NeverLastStanding, and all our guest writers who have contributed. This wouldn’t have been possible without you guys.

Yeah…that post from the other night? Let’s just ignore that and read this one instead. The Seapony Orchestra, a group of musicians based in South-East Asia, are planning a performance at SeaPonyCon in Bangkok this August, and are looking for more musicians to join in! If you’re in the Asian community or even keep slightly up-to-date with this, then you may have already heard about this, but hey, signal boosting never hurts. Have a copypasta below on the details…
It’s almost like they saw my post earlier and thought it was about time the December results were released… Anyway, check out the community voted results from last month’s voting above!
We’re going to be over at PonyvilleFM for the next few hours to tune in to a special episode of Lycan Dese Beats, which will showcase the new Ponies At Dawn album, Amity, in its entirety.
You can tune into the show and join the chat by clicking here!
And if you’re not able to tune in live, don’t worry, we’ll have some more posts scheduled during the stream, and a post about the album once it’s released too.
After what feels like a very short time since their last album, Ponies At Dawn are releasing their 10th album this Friday, 13th January. Entitled Amity, this album is similar to another project they carried out a couple of years ago, in that it consists entirely of remixes and collaborations! From regulars such as DJT, Reverbrony, and UndreamedPanic, to [relative] newcomers to the collective like bank pain, Sky Runner, and A Symphony of Two, this album is shaping up to encompass more artists than ever before on a P@D album.
To celebrate the release of the album, PonyvilleFM will be hosting a Live Release Party starting at 17:00 UTC / 12:00 EDT this Friday the 7th of October leading up to the album’s live play. Then, at 20:00 UTC / 15:00 EDT, the Ponies at Dawn album – Amity – will be played LIVE and in FULL, hosted by PonyvilleFM’s very own variety radio show, Lycan Dese Beats.
Immediately following the album’s release, Amity will be available from the Ponies at Dawn bandcamp for whatever price you’d like to pay (including $0). However, if you are so excited and just can’t wait, it is available as a pre-order right now starting from just $1. As with last time, all the money made by the album from donations on BandCamp will go towards the artists as thanks for the hard work put in to get on.
You can check out the album here: https://poniesatdawn.bandcamp.com/album/amity
Now available is a teaser of the album on SoundCloud here:
