Jastrian’s Celestia-inspired works seems to have a special quality to them. This one definitely shows that, with a gorgeous blend of vocal chops and uplifting synths, arranged in an intricate and interesting way with plenty of upbeat goodness.
I don’t think I could ever count the amount of music that Panic’s made. The sheer volume of music he’s contributed to fandom is incredible and it all just keeps getting better as he grows as a producer! The Outdoors sees him taking on some more poppy styles like Future Bass, a bit of Indie Pop influence, but also a good deal of Melodic Dubstep tracks too. Anyone who’s a fan of Panic’s usual songs, or any kind of mainstream-style electronic music is bound to enjoy this.
The Outdoors is available to purchase on UndreamedPanic’s Bandcamp.

Making gorgeous use of vocal chops constructed from the song from the recent CMC episode, TCB creates a beautiful atmosphere. It also has some sections with the vocal unchopped that work just as well. The instrumental fits with them in a terrific way, initially understated and chilled out, before going a bit more into overdrive with some drum & bass percussion.
From a new perspective, BlueBrony has been releasing some really interesting projects. This one is one of many. The marimba feeling along with bells gives a western yet tropical vibe to the song. A song about a stick and stone from our favorite show. What can we ask more? Good job BlueBrony, keep up the amazing work.

Vylet certainly knows how to create some grogeous and cosy atmospheres, which is definitely the case here in this piece about Starlight and Trixie. With a mixture of his own and Namii’s vocals melding together beautifully, the combination of acoustic and electronic instrumental elements also work to create a really enjoyable piece.
Even when he’s working on something completely different from his usual metal styles, everything Osoch touches is gold! Pleasant Chill is everything the title claims and more. The song begins with a captivating intro and great bass line with mood setting pianos.
Then the strings come in breathing life into this track as it becomes an adventure and a superior meditation experience at the same time. I could say so many amazing things about this track – but you deserve to experience it yourself!

A new track from Vylet’s recently released EP Our Light And Ever After, this is certainly one of Vylet’s most beautiful tracks yet in my opinion. The vocals through the track are excellently performed and come across really heartfelt, whilst the minimalist instrumental manages to combine a chilled out feel with some wonderful depth and emotion.
Nicolas is a master of the chillout and ambient genres, music that just puts you into a trance throughout the entire thing. And now he’s compiled an entire EP of songs fitting that bill, all themed around the idea of exploring weird and wonderful parts of Equestria…or an alternate version of it…where cheese rolls down hills and unicorns swim through lakes with pillows on their heads. Perhaps it’s best not to think about it too hard…
Friendly Monsters and Fascinating Places is available to download for free on Nicolas’ Bandcamp.

A gorgeous chilled out tune here from Totalspark! This piece is full of lovely soft synth sounds and reverberating bells that play some beautiful melodies as steady drum & bass percussion resonates throughout.
