The orchestral elements set the stage with a light, wintry beginning before diving full force into a metal power theme. Frozen Night is a master at creating vivid imagery of nature with instruments and this composition will take you back and forth between the peaceful ambiance of a cool winter scene and the intensity of a full blizzard.

4everfreebrony – Loyalty (Covering AcoustiMandoPony) | Rock
4everfree brings a fandom classic back to the forefront in his new cover album, Copycat. Acoustic Brony & MandoPony’s “Loyalty” has left its mark on the community for years and has had no shortage of covers and remixes. What makes 4everfree’s take so special is how faithful it is to the original, paying its due homages with a very raw, rock style. However, he manages to give the record a whole new breath of life with his own styles and nuances. This is especially evident in the way 4everfree plays out the iconic midsection solo; it’s so familiar yet completely new.
Jessica Vaughn, Jess Furman & John Jennings Boyd – Let It Rain (Ice Angel Remix) | Future House
Some good old future house is always nice to see, and Ice Angel did a great job here with a bright, metallic melody and a very bouncy bass line. This remix is short and sweet, but that’s all it needs as it makes solid use of its time bringing out a much different flavour.
[P@D] Jyc Row – Lunar Rebellion [月の反逆 / Tsuki no Hangyaku] (feat. Satomi) | Soundtrack
Jyc Row strikes again. Track from Ponies at Dawn Eternal, he’s teamed up with a singer who goes by the name Satomi, who also wrote the lyrics about Luna and Celestia fighting as part of the Lunar Republic, in Japanese, no less! What follows is a beautiful orchestral soundtrack piece with powerful electronic percussion, creating something that sounds straight out of an anime. It’s not often we get Japanese songs in the fandom, so this is a nice change of pace!
Spikey Wikey – H.O.R.S.E. (The Word Is) [Rokii Remix] | Tech House
A more minimal and techno take on Spikey Wikey‘s bizarre song, H.O.R.S.E; Rokii has taken this song off the deep end. Literally. A very pronounced progression with a powerful deep rolling bassline with little sprinklings of various elements and ominous design, this remix gives off a tense energy and kept me interested till the very end. But most importantly,
Have you heard, the word?
Eurobeat Brony – Luna (Rod Steven Acoustic Remix) | Acoustic Ballad
An oldie but a goodie, Rod Steven has remixed Luna; A staple in the fandom and this version of the song gives a more laid back and infectious mood to the piece. Mellow rolling acoustic harmonies following a bright piano and the all too familiar vocals, This ballad-esque re-imagining is great to unwind to and harken back to yesteryear.
BinExis – New Old Beginning | Power Metal
Now this is something I don’t see too often. A power metal cover of two Italian openings from different generations of My Little Pony. This is a fun one with a strong leading flute and pretty nice riffs that also lean on some orchestral and pop-like elements. I never thought this is something I would need but I’m glad this had crossed my path now. Excellent work BinExis!
