The second holiday-themed album from chill music curators, ”VibePoniez,” is out now! Among the host of new tracks is Shimmer from up-and-coming artist, Evr! Aptly named, this beautifully chill track features a slow, hip-hop-y beat, gentle piano chords, and twinkly sounds that wrap the listener in a warm and comforting blanket of shimmering sound, bringing to mind images of gazing up at the night sky on a starlit wintry night. Be sure to check out this and other tracks on VibePoniez’ new album, Hearth’s Warming Vol. 2!

SOUND BANDIT – FUN TO PRETEND | Plunderphonics
SOUND BANDIT is back with another G3 inspired song accompanied by a pony music video! This dreamy track begins with the soft and lovely sound of an upright piano before jumping in to a gorgeous section with synths that sparkle and a warm bass. The melody is entirely comprised of vocal chops, heavily featuring the voices of several G3 ponies like Storybelle, Star Flight, and Heart Bright. There’s so much creative sampling using yawns, buzzing insects, gasps, and laughs to create a sound so absolutely adorable that it just might convince you to fall in love with G3. Fantastic work!

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
Cherax Destructor – The Rescue (Algo at All remix) | Chillout
The origin of the song The Rescue dates back to 2013, inspired by the shipfic Vinyl and Octavia: University Days. The song and the fic keep aging like fine wine and remain unforgettable. A refined fresh remix recently dropped by Algo at All with a feel straight to the heart to pound to the beat of this new sound. The glossy singing of Cherax attaches ingeniously well with the dreamy sound of the synths, the smoothness of the drums and fluid melodies, all elements dancing like butterflies in your stomach. If you ship Octavia with Vinyl, then ship this remix with your music folder!
