[ASOS] Reverbrony – Wondrous Darkness | Post-Rock

Reverbrony’s talents have at last arrived to A State of Sugar! A fitting ode to the Princess of Night, this tune is incredibly true to the artist’s name and laden with reverb to a calming yet transcendental effect. The art by Duskie-06 couldn’t be a more perfect fit and the guitar work on this track is nothing short of outstanding!

Vylet Pony – Cataclysm (ft. Scraton) | Drumstep

Premiering their upcoming album Homeward, Vylet gives us one heck of a heavy hitter before it’s formally released on January 25th. Vylet and Scraton are no strangers to sound design and it shows in the opening seconds, and only gets better from there! Blending an atmospheric soundscape with complex synthesis there is a sense of urgency in the air and it is all leading up to something HUGE!

[ASOS] MrMehster – Holi (Festival of Colours) | Psytrance / Electro

From the recent A State of Sugar: Ice Cream album Mehster brings us “Holi” and a bright and vibrant festival of colours it is! Psytrance is always an interesting bout of fun and there is a healthy dose of variation that even pull from various genres throughout to truly bring out a festival like feel in the song. One thing I have to note especially are the vocals. They bring a sense of life into the fold and overall, this song has something for everyone! 🙂

BronyNotion – A New Pair of Wings (feat. Vylet Pony) (The Dark Side Remix) | Dubstep

Brazilian producer The Dark Side made an amazing remix of the modern classic “A New Pair of Wings” by BronyNotion and Vylet! The drops are amazing, and the build ups for the drops are the things that made this song AWESOME. You will love it!

[ASOS] eksoka – Oneiromancy | House

Coming off A State of Sugar‘s latest album, Ice Cream, eksoka‘s song Oneiromancy once again proves that eksoka is here to provide us with beautiful tunes. It’s a beautiful deep track with some wonderful progression and the atmosphere is built really well. It might be calmer than some of eksoka’s previous tracks, but it definitely has the same charm as their previous tracks. It’s definitely one of my favorites from the album, and is one you should most certainly check out.

Zephysonas – Welcome to Equestria | Orchestral

The perfect song to get into the holiday cheer, Welcome to Equestria mixes traditional holiday instrumentation with several show melodies from season one. Zephysonas, an orchestral great for sometime now, ties it all together with his fantastic composition skills and a variety of instrumentation from low brass, to violins, woodwinds and more! This song was written for the new Seapony Orchestra Hearth’s Warming album – a great compilation for the season!

Vylet Pony – No Matter What (ft. Namii) [2018] | Pop

Vylet’s continuing his annual tradition of remaking his 2012(!) track No Matter What, this time making it in the cute indie/electronic pop style that he’s really developed into his own sound in recent years. As in a few previous editions, it also includes Namii’s vocals, and I’m sure we can expect many more versions of these to come!

Audio

[ASOS] Heartsong – Riding The Rails (Ice Cream Express) | Soundtrack

As part of the recently released album from A State of Sugar: Ice Cream, Heartsong gives us another one of their lovely story-esque orchestrations. As you may have guessed from the title, this song builds its world around the idea of the Friendship Express acting as the sole deliverer of the frozen desert as it goes about its busy schedule, starting and ending on a soothing music box melody as it arrives at its destinations. If I’m being truly honest here, the song will do a better job at conveying its world and story than I ever could through words. So what are you waiting for? Catch the train.

Arabesque Sympony – Jolly Ol Saint Nick (Covering Daniel Ingram) | Big Band

Arabesque Sympony shows off his clever musical skills in this track covering Spike’s feature from the MLP Holiday Album. The jazzy, swingin’ piece is recomposed brilliantly, allowing the bright brass tones to shine through, but not so much that it distracts from Sympony’s wonderful vocals. He even subtly adds Spike’s original vocals in at the end as a great accent to the track!
