BlueBrony and Totalspark (the latter’s second of two contributions) join forces to create something unique as part of Ponies at Dawn: Eclipse: a unique combination of orchestral music and dubstep! It really captures the feeling of an intense spy mission, especially when the surprising rock elements make their way in!
[P@D] Radiarc – Of Shadows and Nightmares | Orchestral
Anime theme song, anyone? Track 38 from Ponies at Dawn: Eclipse is Of Shadows and Nightmares from Radiarc, an orchestral piece with some power! This one is sprinkled with goodness from each string instrument to the quickly plucked strings, to even the piano; it all comes together to form something that would fit well in a movie trailer or anime opening. I get chills every time that piano riff comes in. You know, there’s a reason why Radiarc is regarded at the top of the MLP music scene, and this song is a great example!
[P@D] Wandering Artist – Nocturne | Orchestral
Today we’ve got ourselves another calm song, this time by Wandering Artist. The song is a beautiful piece inspired by romantic music. It has a great progression but stays calm all the way through making it the perfect song for lying down and closing your eyes for a second. It’s easy to imagine yourself relaxing in the Golden Oak Library after an exhausting day and drifting off to sleep to the sound of rustling leaves.

GrazySmash & MEQA – Hoof Shaker (Butterflight Remix) | Future House
A first attempt at future house from Butterflight with their remix of Hoof Shaker, originally by GrazySmash and MEQA! This track basically starts with a buildup that quickly leads into a drop, which sounds fantabulous. The main melody’s generated with what sounds like detuned piano reminiscent of 90s house, which occasionally changes up a bit throughout the song. It’s bouncy and features the perfect tempo. Not bad for a song made in under 24 hours!
Nyancat380 – Rule 34 | Glitch-Hop
Nyancat380 dared to make a track about the infamous internet rule, and even naming it that way just like that track by Voxxin did it before! The punchy beats from the song sure are a delight, and Fluttershy in a hoodie is instant win. Noice!
Luck Rock – Pony Life (Friends Parody) | Power Pop
Short yet so important, this parody of Friends in response to that reference in Pony Life is very appreciated, and Luck Rock was the pony musician for the job! Evershade even made a mini PMV to accompany the song, and overall this new Pony Life fan work is just SO lovely and awesome! Give it up to the creators everypony! I wish that more works like these get made!
RedSpark – Hidden Sanctuary (feat. Koron Korak) | Folk / Soundtrack
RedSpark’s newest lore-heavy musical release is a collab with Koron Korak enacting the discovery of a hidden village of batponies deep in the woods! Now that has got to tingle my RPG and adventurer spirit!! You’ll be able to feel for yourself how the Folk vibes of the track are so immersive and perfect for such a concept!
Violin Melody – Hope | Trance
Not just making heartfelt and beautiful music, Violin Melody is conveying much sweet feelings in this new release as you will be able to read from the description! Time to linger in the bliss of such a gorgeous and emotional composition, spreading hope!
RottenTotten – Discord the Cosmic Trickster | Orchestral
RottenTotten encompassed Discord’s playful and trickster sides in this magnificent orchestral composition paying much tribute to his character! A shining success and token of RottenTotten’s talent!
StableTwoStallion – Daddy Discord (feat. HiddenFaithy) (Covering Sand Josieph) | Gothic Metal
Always so dedicated, StableTwoStallion contributed to the party for Nightmare Night with a mad cover of a mad song, even inviting HiddenFaithy for a collab! The SFM visuals made to accompany the tracks are as epic as ever, and it’s awesome for that original track about Discord and Screwball to get some more love!
