Royalpony’s hardstyle, when it’s at its best, is super fun to listen to, and there’s a couple of great examples here! Here he’s teamed up with Cosine to produce an unofficial anthem for the recently passed BABScon, and it’s full of uplifting melodies alongside that signature hardstyle kick.

After a while since any new music from him, Crystarium returns with some melodic vocal glitch hop-y goodness. It’s one of my favourite genres, and the groove is present throughout the track with some lovely composition complementing plenty of sound design that orients itself around the strong chord progressions.
March was a great month for compilation albums, with a brand new major Ponies At Dawn album, a new volume of Horse Music Central music, and a winter-themed EP curated by Cider Party. With so many single releases from other artists too, we’ve had a great variety to choose from this month!

UndreamedPanic’s last few releases have been more upbeat house tracks, but he’s back to the heavy stuff again here with an awesome combination of bass house and dubstep sound design. The combination of powerful melodic breaks with groovy aggressive drops definitely suits the battle scene, so make sure to check it out!
With the instrumental produced by the amazing Andy Feelin, Velvet brings the 80’s Pop vibes with this song. The lyrics were amazing and Velvet vocals were on point. A true example of how brony music evolves! Good job Velvet! Keep up the good work!
PS: If you comment on this video and give to Velvet your postal code via private message, you will recive a postcard! The example is shown in the thumbnail of the video!

Quadrivia is one is of the best bass designers in the fandom, so it’s great to hear some new pony tunes from her after some time since the last stuff. Featuring some excellent use of vocals from the cutie mark crusaders, this spiritual successor to ‘Filly Busters’, a track from 2016, is full of awesome powerful synth design and great heavy complextro wubs.

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.
Another banger from the latest Horse Music Central album, this track sees Totalspark, who dabbles in all kinds of electronica, join forces with Zero Chaotic, who originally came up with the basis for this track. The song flows instantly and seamlessly between dark, orchestrated parts and heavy drumstep breakdowns with full force.

Suskii’s recently released EP was headlined by Top Bug, a killer dubstep track that’s also gotten a remix from Einarx. It’s cool to see a different take on the original, as Einarx brings his heavy and varied sound design to the table with some excellent arrangement throughout the drops.
noise.horse has been one of the greatest sources of the experimental music side of the fandom. Names like One Track Mind, Kakofonous A. Dischord, Drixale, r_chase and many others have contributed a lot to this label! But now is time for another artist to shine, yeah! I’m talking about VecodeX! This artist have been creating some really experimental house/bounce tracks! And this track shows how experimental is gets! Mixing two genres that normally are the opposite of each other, the groove and chillness of the Deep House mixed with the wildness and wubbyness of Bounce (a subgenre of Electro House). The wubs were on point and the synth work is also amazing! Really a treat! Listen to this on a high volume and start dancing. Good job VecodeX! Hope we can listen more things from you!
