Royalpony’s hardstyle, when it’s at its best, is super fun to listen to, and there’s a couple of great examples here! Here he’s teamed up with Cosine to produce an unofficial anthem for the recently passed BABScon, and it’s full of uplifting melodies alongside that signature hardstyle kick.

After a while since any new music from him, Crystarium returns with some melodic vocal glitch hop-y goodness. It’s one of my favourite genres, and the groove is present throughout the track with some lovely composition complementing plenty of sound design that orients itself around the strong chord progressions.
Kelvin C. H. Reverie, previously known as Sonic Hooves is back with some more Applejack-themed music. Blending orchestral and acoustic together, we end up with this relaxing “country style waltz”, which also sounds like it could fit into a fantasy game soundtrack…probably not necessarily intended but still a nice consequence.
March was a great month for compilation albums, with a brand new major Ponies At Dawn album, a new volume of Horse Music Central music, and a winter-themed EP curated by Cider Party. With so many single releases from other artists too, we’ve had a great variety to choose from this month!

Frozen Night is back with another one of his masterpieces! Cosmic Dream evokes visions of soaring through the aether on wings of starlight. He perfectly blends atmospheric effects and burning guitars into a distilled draught of energy. Throughout the song, it’s easy to picture Celestia flying through the ionosphere, casting her mighty spell to raise the sun once more.

UndreamedPanic’s last few releases have been more upbeat house tracks, but he’s back to the heavy stuff again here with an awesome combination of bass house and dubstep sound design. The combination of powerful melodic breaks with groovy aggressive drops definitely suits the battle scene, so make sure to check it out!
With the instrumental produced by the amazing Andy Feelin, Velvet brings the 80’s Pop vibes with this song. The lyrics were amazing and Velvet vocals were on point. A true example of how brony music evolves! Good job Velvet! Keep up the good work!
PS: If you comment on this video and give to Velvet your postal code via private message, you will recive a postcard! The example is shown in the thumbnail of the video!
There’s still a couple of days left to vote in the monthly community faves. Remember that there were plenty of songs released from compilation albums such as P@D, HMC and Cider Party, and of course many great singles released by a variety of artists. Check out Günz’s playlist for a range of selections!
Kindness. A song that has always touched me on such a very powerful and inspirational level. I instantly want to write music each time I am reminded of this song. Coming from a huge Fluttershy fan myself, I can relate to sooo many people who share their stories with this song. Its legendary, Truly. 4Everfreebrony did an AMAZING cover of this Song. I hope Re:Make and Andy Stein see this because they really need to! They created a song with so much power and it’s beautiful to see that it still lives on through so many! Thank you soo much for reminding so many people why being a fan of Fluttershy is so awesome. Keep up the good work man. ^^ everybody, show some love! ❤

Quadrivia is one is of the best bass designers in the fandom, so it’s great to hear some new pony tunes from her after some time since the last stuff. Featuring some excellent use of vocals from the cutie mark crusaders, this spiritual successor to ‘Filly Busters’, a track from 2016, is full of awesome powerful synth design and great heavy complextro wubs.
