HOLY MOLY I WASN’T PREPARED FOR THIS. *ahem* A pleasant surprise to find in my subscription box, Exiark got Flittzy on board with vocals for his latest song, from an upcoming album (seemingly entirely about Luna)! Flittzy’s unique vocals and Exiark’s outstanding sound design and mixing go beautifully together in this deep, and melodically interesting dubstep track.

Stallionslaughter – Hooves | Metal
It’s a pony parody. Of Bounce by System of a Down. No further explanation required.

Pony! Pony! Pony! Pony! Pony! Pony! Pony! Pony! Pony! Pony! Pony! Pony! Pony! Pony! Pony! Pony! Pony! Pony! Pony! Pony! Pony! Pony! Pony! Pony!
Maressey – There is a Light That Never Goes Out | Indie
NB: This was originally posted on Equestria Daily on 22 December 2016.
One of the coolest fandom music projects is back! Maressey is an ambitious project that aims to produce high quality pony-focused tributes to The Smiths. They’ve just released their 4th album, The Brony Album, which focuses on a lot of fandom related things, such as EQD, Bronycon, Rule 34 and Cosplay. This track, featuring amazing vocals from AdamTh3Walker, a strong instrumental from Johnny Mare and mixing from project-head Freewave, deals with the after effects of the eventual ending on the show, whenever it may be. Make sure to check it out for a really strongly produced track about a poignant topic of conversation.
Direct Current – Seeking Forgiveness | Chillout
Oops I’m a bit late with this oh well Direct Current has a new EP in the works, which means it’s time for more music from him! His style is great at combining ambient and chill sounds, and really making a varied soundscape with them in such a short space of time, telling a real story as the song progresses.
StringStorm – Chrysalis’ Theme: Panic Harvest | Industrial Dubstep
Wasn’t expecting this from StringStorm, but I’ll definitely take it! It seems a group is undertaking the monumental project of reviving Fighting is Magic, the pony-themed fighting (never!) game. Somewhere along the way, StringStorm got involved and made this theme for Chrysalis. In a style combining industrial and dubstep. Nice.
Reverbrony – Out Of Time | Progressive Rock
It’s interesting to see commissioned songs by certain artists; in my opinion it presents them with a chance to take on a theme or perhaps genre they normally wouldn’t have considered on their own. Here we have something commissioned to Reverbrony with the theme of time running out incorporated both into the theme and the soundscape of the song. And that bass tone is fantastic too, great production as always from Reverbrony!
Daniel Ingram – The Spectacle (GeekBrony Remix) | Bounce
It’s great to see Geekbrony back with some more music, and trying his hand at show song remixes. His production quality has reached new heights with this bounce remix of The Spectacle, a genre I’m not normally a huge fan of but this track is quality!
4everfreebrony – My Only Friends | Acoustic Pop
NB: This was originally posted on Equestria Daily on 21 December 2016.
Released just in time for Luna day, 4everfreebrony brings us a new track from his recently published album, Hoping. Featuring some really pretty acoustic guitar work, and 4everfree’s signature strong vocal performance, this is definitely one of my favourite songs from the album. Make sure to check it out for some solemn music to help you celebrate the princess of the night!
Flittzy – More To Me | Tropical House / Pop
NB: This was originally posted on Equestria Daily on 21 December 2016.
Flittzy returns with another upbeat pop-y track. Featuring some pretty nice vocals and a bright tropical house-influenced instrumental, it’s great to see a new piece from him. Carried throughout by some piano, some really nice synth melodies help to complement the vocals. Make sure to check it out below for some tropical pop released just in time for Luna Day!
Ponytronic – Near Clear Skies (Sky Runner Remix) | Drum & Bass
NB: This is an edited version of what was originally posted on Equestria Daily on 19 December 2016.
The dnb crew have been on fire recently! The second of today’s features to include Sky Runner is a remix of Ponytronic’s track Near Clear Skies. This one is a lot more traditional d&b in style than the earlier post, though with some cool chord modulation in the second half.
