New pony musician ahoy! Let’s welcome Mysty to the scene, with a lovely first track themed around Rainbow Dash and her Element. Beautiful and soft melodies bring that emotion as an energetic beat brings Dashie her coolness, and overall this Chillstep experience does wonders at reflecting both Dashie’s soft side and tender feelings toward her friends, and her proud personality!

[P@D] J. Free, TheWanderingKit & Synthis – Fallen Kind | Chill Hop / Trap
To see Synthis taking part in Ponies at Dawn albums is so wonderful as he’s known for very emotional pieces and unique vocals that are always so emotional too! For Enigma he gathered the vocal talents of J. Free and TheWanderingKit to perform with him, and it results in a very cool Chill Hop piece that’s to die for, with Synthis’ signature dreamy melodies and deep bass making for much emotion once more and carrying all vocals in such an epic way.
Yanamosuda – Little Energy | Album | Multi-Genre
Here is the perfect set of tracks for when you need to just unwind, or maybe want to have something on in the background while you are getting stuff done! Yanamosuda has compiled quite an interesting array of tracks blending the right amount of peacefulness and groove to both relax and keep you interested.
There are a healthy variety of genres inspiring the album that all touch on the chill theme. One thing you can be sure of is that each track will have it’s own compelling, jazzy bass that blends almost too well with an exciting drum beat.
The album is comprised of original mixes like the titular Little Energy and Dusk Song (which has an amazing funk rhythm!), remixes from show songs like the theme and Evil Enchantress, and finally remixes of fan music like Dawn Song from Kitsuneyu and Get Lady by eksoka (featured on Cider Party!) It is plain to hear from the album that Yanamosuda put a lot of time, thought, and effort into this tremendously unique album.
Little Energy is available on Yanamosuda’s Bandcamp website as a free download, so there is absolutely no excuse not to have these 13 tracks in your library right now!
[More Music for the Headless Horse] Cynifree – Sights Unseen | Experimental Downtempo
It’s so good to get a contribution to noise.horse‘s compilation album More Music for the Headless Horse from Cynifree, who nailed the theme and mood so well with an experimental track about the many mysteries of the Everfree Forest! This musical journey takes us through the narrows paths and spooky places of the forest, with a deep bass reflecting the unsettling atmosphere, and Nightmare Night-like melodies for a full immersion! Gotta love initiatives like these so much.
noise.horse – More Music For the Headless Horse | Compilation Album | Experimental
The sequel to the highly experimental Music for the Headless Horse. More Music for the Headless Horse comes as an amazing show of spooky/funny/experimental songs with the habitual faces of noise.horse like Kakofonous A. Dischord (the owner), Shuffle Horse (formerlly known as VecodeX), Drixale, flankƨy, Cloudbeat, SampleMousse and yours truly (yes me). But we also have new faces like Cynifree, RezKue!, Dynamite Grizzly, DEFORMED STUUFYSH, DAϟH & Ponut Pulse and Lois Cook! All of this album is amazing and you should check out! Artwork done by the amazing Cosmic Latte (aka PhonicBoom).
Nicolas Dominique – Always for You | Chillout
Another track off Nicolas’ newly released album Autumn Ways in Happiness, this one is focused on Sci-Twi and Sunset from the EQG movies and their warm and caring relationship. It delivers fitting chill vibes that call for a tender moment bathed in the Magic in Friendship, that sure is present in the EQG world as well… and in our world, too!
Nicolas Dominique – Autumn Ways in Happiness | Chillout
It’s so nice to see the community paying tribute to Autumn Blaze from the acclaimed S08E23 Sounds of Silence all in unison! Nicolas Dominique shares his own musical take on the cheerful kirin with a delightful instrumental that is praising her bright personality with cute melodies and a rich composition. It’s also the title track of a new album that you can get on Bandcamp!
Cynifree – What Lies Beyond | Chillstep
Enter unexpected masterpiece! Cynifree signs his magnum opus with What Lies Beyond, a concept-empowered Chillstep beauty that makes use of divine Flutterchops to convey the so many wonders that you witness at undiscovered places in Equestria. Over a stunning progression among the breathtaking sights and sounds, the piece delights the soul with magical synths, creative percussions, and Fluttershy’s voice that makes for much emotion as it calls forth our Passion.
Hoofy – Evermore (feat. Ryan Wiseman) | Chillout
If you hadn’t figured it out yet, “Brohoof Studios” is now just “Hoofy“, and he is ushering in his new age of production with an amazing collab with the gifted Ryan Wiseman. This profound song explores the emotions involved when friends drift apart and friendships fade away. Ryans vocals are simply stunning, and they carry some very real emotion. Well done to you both.
[P@D] Totalspark – What Once Was (feat. Synthis) | Chillout
One of a few re-imaginings on Enigma, this version of Sparky’s original Itchigotchi-featuring tune feels more fully realized and heartfelt (though Itchigotchi is very subtly sampled here). Synthis could not have been a better choice to feature on the song and his verse feels as soulful as his other works. This version feels far less rudimentary, with some very creative percussion throughout and an excellent intro and coda. One of my personal favorites from the hyper-talented Totalspark to date!
