Night Blaze clearly puts a lot of thought and effort into their music. Delving deep into both world history and pony fanfiction, A Ponygrad is a gorgeous orchestral piece utilizing both soothing string instruments and powerful drums to create a wholly fulfilling experience. The heartbeat syncopation in the percussion hits deep within your chest while the rest of the instrumentation gently floats you away to the unified pony city – or ponygrad!

Ethan Toavs – Canterlot Fanfare | Orchestral
Ethan Toavs brings us a short orchestral tune that wonderfully lives up to the name “Canterlot Fanfare”. With a delightful attention grabbing intro, this song really shows off the excitement of the capital of Equestria, and makes you feel like you’re out for a day around the town.
MathematicPony – Dealbreaker (Redux) | Pop
If you know anything about MathematicPony, you’ll know how gorgeous she sounds in the original Dealbreaker. This redux highlights so much of her growth over the six years since: incredibly captivating composition, with mesmerizing ebb & flow; absolutely beautiful vocals, expertly capturing the pain and confusion Twilight feels; and of course, putting such a new spin on a pony classic that conveys a whole plethora of new emotion and tension. Lots more goodies to come from MathematicPony too, so stay tuned!
Nicolas Dominique – Sonnenaufgang | Electronica
Nicolas has always been great at working ethereal and entrancing sounds and entrancing into his music, and this tune is no exception! The constant pulse of the drums and the bass anchor this song as bright arpeggios and synths dance over the top, creating a sense of both relaxation and suspense at the same time. This is the latest release from Nicolas’ upcoming album LANTERNS, which will offer even more chillout goodness, so keep an eye out for that!
Cynifree – Sunspot VIP (Depths) | Chill Hop
Always unique in his creations, Cynifree puts a deep, melancholy spin on a relatively recent track. With more focus on the watery atmosphere and a laid-back beat, it makes for a relaxing yet vibe-able journey that’s sure to keep you groovin’.
4EverfreeBrony – I Wish I Could Stand On A Cloud | Pop Rock
4EverfreeBrony recently released his new album Lost & Found at the end of last year, with plenty of wonderful tracks. This one has just hit YouTube, and features more than a little inspiration from musician Bill Wurtz. Those familiar with his style would immediately be at home with the jazzy, vibrant instrumentation, abrupt tonal shifts in vocalisation and the excellent PMV designed in a similar video style by CreeperZone as well.
[P@D] Camelia – Yoake | Progressive Trance
Camelia’s production style lends itself excellently to uplifting music styles, and what could be more so than some classic progressive trance. Yoake, roughly translated as ‘dawn’ or ‘daybreak’ is an effervescent piece initially released on P@D’s Aurora album last year. With some classic synth stabs and arps right from the get go, this track is carried throughout by its excellent melodic composition, which has become a staple of Camelia’s impressive discography of late.
Eurobeat Brony – Discord (Pagan Pegasus Remix) | Drum & Bass
On the 10th anniversary of the legendary fandom classic, Pagan Pegasus brings us an energetic reimagining of this devilish tune! Full of grimy basses and punchy drums, this fast-paced banger is sure to get you movin’ and groovin’. Get those skankers ready for these break-heavy drops!
SpinScissor – alive through you | Chillout / Experimental
Now this one is a trip! This is a reflective and thought-provoking piece of recollections and memories focused around Sunny. The beauty lies in its cohesive and emotional piano glissandos coupled with the airy, yet crisp soundscape. There’s always a new idea forming keeping things unique and interesting that you can feel the sense of wonder and scope the artist instills here. After all, Twilight’s legacy now lives through Sunny.
