With such a dreamy title, this new release by Algo has got to make you travel! It’s definitely as beautiful as a trip in Luna’s gorgeous Night sky, painted here with lulling sounds and a deep dive into cosmic wonders at midway. This track is actually about a certain story/fanfic, that you will find linked in the description!

Harmonic Six – Rarigretto in F Major | Allegretto
This “Rarigretto” is as lovely as the name suggests! The fabulous mare might approve of those delicate and refined melodies, enveloped in a warm atmosphere reminding that of a Baroque castle. A longer version of this would fit well as a field theme BGM in a game for such a map, and of course you would meet Rarity there!
SpinScissor & Nyancat380 – BRUSH ADDICT | Hyperpop
A dream collab that was meant to happen, two of our regulars teamed up for a magical result. Colgate aka Minuette got a new song, and a pretty dank one at that. Not only the cool and light-hearted lyrics are making for an awesome reminder of brony spirit, but the vocals come in all shapes and sizes, with a cuteness overload happening several times during the track. As for the instrumental, it’s sparking from the fusion of the two musicians’ skills! Give it up for SpinScissor and Nyancat380 everypony!
Cantersoft – Six Ponies Flying in a Pink Hot Air Balloon | Synthpop
Cantersoft was right when he said that he achieved something very catchy… Writing this song up a second time right now after I posted it on EQD, I have its vocals stuck in my head even without re-listening to it..! Aside from the catchy-ness, the song is brimming with pony cuteness, and in the video as well since it has got such a fun and delightfully light-hearted PMV/animation to go along with it. You can breathe pony while watching this..!
Vylet Pony – ANTONYMPH (Evershade Remix) | House
Evershade takes on one of the biggest songs of the year with this sweet remix! This version launches straight into the vocals with in-your-face percussion, then adds in new synths that put a fun twist on the original and give the song a pulsing delivery. I enjoyed the switched up Fluttershy chops, and using the bouncy synth line that opens the original in other parts of the song was a nice touch as well. The original vocals are used creatively throughout, getting chopped around and used to build a nice chorus harmony in parts, and they sound clean despite being sped up. Overall this is a really well-made remix and a great tribute to the original!
Ocean Melody – Set Sail | Orchestral
Are you HYPE for G5 yet?! With the movie nearly upon us, this fantastic tune from Ocean Melody will definitely help you get there! The song opens with a gentle melody courtesy of strings and horns and goes through a lovely progression, adding bells and delicate percussion. There’s a nice passage where the arrangement mostly subsides to make way for some light drums, and it’s easy to imagine trotting through a sunny landscape, especially when the drums are combined with some light keys. The optimism and joy of this song is infectious and inspiring, so please give it a listen and get uplifted!
Nyancat380 – Falling Apart | Phonk
I always picture Nyancat380 working on these songs in a room full of classic horror movie props with a bunch of electricity zapping around, because they are an absolute mad genius. Opening with some vocal chops from “Sisterhooves Social”, the video tells a story through a series of pictures that the artist made themself set over live video footage (in the same vein as the fantastic “Clear My Head“). The melody is dark with a great hip-hop beat, the bass is exquisite, and the overall vibe is delightfully ominous and atmospheric. I love how perfectly the music matches the story as it progresses, and I can’t wait for the next installment!
Likonan – Celestia’s Riddle 2021 (The Riddle Parody) | Eurodance
(Click on “Watch on YouTube” to access the video, since embeds have been disabled for this video.)
Oh wow, I never thought I’d see a cover/parody of this song, but yet here we are! The original is an older classic that I used to listen to on loop, and this parody is just as good! Now, before I start tripping over my words in nostalgia, let’s get started with the instrumental: As you might expect it’s close to the original. In a lot of parts you can really hear the original, but if you remember what I’ve said back for the BlackIceMusic Remix of Anthropology, that isn’t a criticism but a compliment since you can also really hear that this is Likonan’s very own masterpiece. We get a chorus part that’s similar to the original, and then in other parts we get a more country sounding melody as both melodies alternate with a few different bits in between. I have to give thanks to Likonan for putting up the instrumental as a separate video (you can find it here) as it was a big help in evaluating and appreciating what makes this part of the song so amazing!
Now the lyrics: The lyrics are pony greatness! They match the flow of the original song nicely while being a nice tribute to the show. In the chorus sections we get references to the Mane Six and during the other parts there are references to some secondary characters!

Derek Spear – My Past Is Not Today (feat. MIKITANII) (Covering Daniel Ingram) | Metal
Who said that with G5 on the Horizon we couldn’t have some more fun with G4 classics! “My Past Is Not Today” has become a very important hashtag for the fandom, because we all made mistakes in the past and deserve to be seen for who we are today. Derek Spear’s guitar work combined with the awesome vocals of MIKITANII make for an amazing song that is an undeniable delight!
Big thanks to theCANderson for proofreading!
[PF] Skyshard – Onto Another Call of Destiny | Orchestral
Well, have I mentioned that Skyshard does amazing orchestral pieces? If not, let me do so now! “Onto Another Call of Destiny” is a wonderful piece dedicated to G5, and it’s full of the most beautiful strings, stunning drums, and so much more! I don’t make it a secret that I enjoy me some good orchestral music, but this blows everything else out of the water. No matter what you think of orchestral music, you will enjoy this!
Thanks once again to theCANderson for proofreading!
