Ante Up – Lay Your Head | Dark Ambient

Holy… okay, it’s been a while since I’ve heard anything dark ambient, and this track honestly just takes the cake. It begins with Fluttershy’s lullaby and a distorted pad. Then all the other instruments join in, making the soundscape almost mystical. You start to feel as if your soul has just been enveloped in this utter despair, and it’s amazing! “Lay Your Head” is full of little changes that make it very interesting, and all the elements pull you in to keep listening. I really recommend this if you’re a fan of the genre!

Nugget – Serenity | Orchestral

A soothing and more laid back orchestral piece, “Serenity” is a wonderful change of pace from the epic orchestral soundscapes I’m accustomed to! A vibraphone is the main focal point of this song and has a very ear-pleasing melody and calmness that is accompanied by some strings and soft choirs. It thrives in a simpler arrangement that doesn’t ask you to pick out a plethora of subtleties, its there to relax. After all, as the theme suggests, its about the simple things in life!

Aiky – Robot | Electro House

Now this is an interesting one! Robot uses a lot of staple and simplistic electronic synths, but its rhythm, melody, and flow is addictive and catchy! Like a blast to the past aged like a fine wine Aiky has released something that embraces simplicity in all its forms yet proves that a little can go a very long way!

Sparklight Productions – Opening my Wounds | Chillout

Our emotions can be spilled through words or deeply touching tones of simplicity, but with lots of emotion of complexity. A heart-touching atmosphere conveys itself in the tenderness of the piano as mystical vocals encompass beautifully and a slow drum beat kiss gently the musical elements alike the rain caressing our skin. This song is a reminder to be open about our internal struggles and/or provide our time to listen those who display happiness in public, but suffer in private. Self-harm is never an option, either physical or mental.

Caedon Hawk – Let Me Be | Chillout / Pop

Both lyrically and musically, Caedon Hawk’s “Let Me Be” conveys a euphoric message of freedom – a freedom gained by courageously determining to be yourself despite what others think.  The track’s upbeat instrumentals and insightfully introspective lyrics strike a perfect balance, offering sound wisdom to live by, while remaining light and fun to listen to. Since this track is part of Caedon’s upcoming album, “Note to Self,” be on the lookout for more great music from this talented artist!

Blackened Blue – Living in Zephyr Heights | Alt. Metal

The future is now in Zephyr Heights! And Blackened Blue comes thriving in from high skies with a banging Zipp theme! The amp guitars are at their full potential, Zephyrina is on the right track with the storming drums and Blue’s screamo vocals have sky-high energy. The tempo and captivating hooks are faultless to maneuverer for a pegasus taking it all to the highest heights. Once downloaded, your G5 playlist will never die with this jam. Also you can rock their merch from their linktree.

GLIMM – PONKPHONK | Phonk

19 year old musician GLIMM has been around in short while and has featured previously on VibePoniez, ASOS and Ponies at Dawn. Adding to their pony discography of premium quality, we’re gonna have a lesson of musical intervention with their latest and mesmerizing release. Get a grip on of your chair, the aesthetic visuals and hardness of the bass will drift you back to season 4 of MLP G4 with Pinkie’s Wonderbolts Rap on a flaming Phonk beat; the popular Soundcloud subgenre of the 2010s and online car culture. You’ll be sent off at high speed with tempo changes as the wicked cowbell melody will bop your head unconsciously. We hope you have a fire extinguisher nearby for your stereo system after the listening.

Canto Acrylic – Through The Ages (Cover Mashup) | Acoustic

For 12 years pony has gone through changes, but friendship has gone nowhere. People of the community have shared their artwork and memories for the 12th anniversary of MLP and Canto Acrylic contributes their part with a breathtaking release! Starting brilliantly with Through The Ages from Equestria Girls, this well-played medley on the acoustic guitar is full of vibrancy. The emotions keep rising as the mashup strings in fandom songs of PrinceWhateverer, Black Gryph0n and many more musicians with some G4 tunes by Daniel Ingram too. A time travelling cover recreating 12 years in one masterpiece. If you’re kind, be generous and pass on this shimmering song to your loyal friends who shared smiles with you through the past pony years. A few tissues and a group hug is recommended after the listening.
