A new treat from Modern Bard, this much Ambient-like piece does a great job at reflecting the peacefulness of living in the clouds, as well as the mysterious, ethereal vibe that there is to it and the conquest of the skies and new horizons. A much delightful piece!

A State of Sugar – Candy | Compilation Album | Multi-Genre
Sugar, Spice, and everything nice! That’s a close enough reference and it’s time for a new ASoS album! Since the release of Lollipop this summer, the compilation album side of this project has grown alongside the promo channel that they run – this album features 36 brand new songs, and a good 2 hours or so of music for you to enjoy. The album covers a lot of the more melodic side of electronic music, as the ASoS label tends to do. There’s plenty of future bass, trance and chill stuff, but also the fair share of dubstep and bass house, and everything inbetween!
Also dat artwork, amirite?
Candy is available to download from A State of Sugar’s bandcamp page, completely for free (but you can donate if you’re feeling generous).
Lorris – Power Notes | Chillout
A simple little piece from Lorris here. It’s not overly complex (and Lorris admittedly only spent a few hours on it), but the combination of piano and strings, both sweeping and spiccato is always nice to hear.
FruityFusion – Going for a fly | Chillout / Synthwave
Editor’s note: Today we have a motivational speech by our writer Arch…oh and a song writeup too!
Going for a fly is always a useful and wise move to make when you’re in a very stressed situation. I myself can relate to this and find this track a very nice one to transition into a peaceful mindset, but of course one with motivation and determination. The feeling of needing to go out sometimes can be intense, but sometimes also necessary. You can either let it all eat you up from the inside with all your doubts and worries taking the best out of you, or you can use that energy to make a difference and prove you CAN do it. REGARDLESS of what others say and think of you! It’s always the same routine and it might hurt at first but justice will ALWAYS have the final laugh! Because first they laugh at you, then they ignore you, then they fight you, and then you win. So go for that fly, don’t let ANTYHING stop you and simply just break the norm. Don’t do it however to prove them wrong, do it to prove yourself right. Your time is now… (So cya on P@D guys :P) As Fruity describes in his description that he needed to leave for various reasons, I welcome him back with open arms. The guy makes awesome music and deserves some love and recognition for that. So people, you know what to do. 😉 ❤
Lin Stilson – A Rain of Stars | Chillout
This wonderful track off Lin Stilson’s Space EP is progressive at its best. Wubbly, deep tones resonate through the vacuum, and the baseline spans stars. For the first time, ponies are leaving their humble planet and venturing out into the great unknown. The hyperdrive is charged up and ready, and the vast expanse of space awaits!
ertrii – Harvest Season | Chillwave
Ertrii’s back again to delight us with a magical piece, and this time it’s a Chillwave song with soothing vibes as well as a tech-y beat that is quite groovy. The progression of the track features blissful sound design, gorgeous piano, and emotional melodies to create a wonderful experience empowered by the cover art and the feelings of immersion into Equestria that we can get from it.
ertrii – The Reason | Chill House
An amazing and minimal track composed by the awesome ertrii! Really chill and deep vibes coming from this sweet and charming track! Inspired the by kind Fluttershy, ertrii did an uplifting yet minimal and chill track, listen to it while you study or while drawing your favorite horses! What ertrii did here was a sweet surprise for all of us, listen to it and dance through all night!
[P@D] Radiarc – Don’t Look At Me | Chillout
Radiarc’s contribution to Ponies at Dawn Anthology is a haunting, melodic composition. It’s about Fluttershy’s realization that “I’m the monster”, and it conveys her regret perfect. A complex morass of sounds engulf the listener with their majestic coldness in this superb work.
sound bandit – old tales | Chillout
Amazing vocal chops, low-pitched vocals and with slow and uplifting beats, sound bandit did an amazing and emotional tribute to the show and to SoGreatAndPowerful (I can hear the SGAP-inspired vocals and vocal samples on this song). It gave me chills down my spine, sound bandit is amazing at sample manipulation and I love artists that can do that perfectly! sound bandit did an awesome job on this, good job!
UndreamedPanic & Bank Pain – Night Light (ThatMusicBrony Remix) | Chillout / Electro-Pop
It’s so awesome to get a remix of the collaboration of many wonders Night Light, and by none other than the talented ThatMusicBrony! Taking a resolutely more Chillout direction, this remix reawakens the original Flutterchops in a brand new mood, with heavenly piano, soft and soothing vocals, and a progression filled with so many nighttime wonders! Truly a wonderful remix to listen to on a night stroll, gazing at the beauty of Nature around you, and letting yourself get entranced by the amazing vocals and sounds all around.
