UndreamedPanic is always excellent with the bass house-style sound design, and Totalspark always throws up some pretty neat chords, so this combination is a match that works terrifically. Together the two of them have crafted a pretty unique sounding track that definitely has an arabian flair.

In case some of you didn’t know, we’re very much behind on posting current music, so we thought one way to help us catch up would be to compile all the Hearts and Hooves music into one post for you to enjoy! Catch it all after the break…
NB: Some of these songs were originally posted on Equestria Daily by ExplodingPonyToast, with a note and link to the original posts where necessary.

Time for a bit of tech house from the latest Ponies At Dawn album, with a steadily evolving beat that has some evident influence from all 3 of the creators. It’s not a genre we get often here so it’s cool to hear it done so well!

Here we have DJ RedSkY’s take of tropical house, with a lot of deep vibes being evidently apparent. In my opinion the star of this track is absolutely the pan flute synth that hits home the summery nature of the piece.

Midnight Musician’s taken the idea of a ‘cider party’ pretty literally! This track’s about a cider-filled event at Sweet Apple Acres and has some pretty solid low vocals building up to a big room drop carried by a synth sound that’s pretty characteristic of the genre. It’s a bit of a weird track, but there’s nothing wrong with the occasional track having a bit of character to it in my opinion, so check it out if you’re not averse to that!
NB: The following a press release from Bronies For Good. The full release can also be read at this link.
Today is Hearts and Hooves Day / Valentines Day. It is traditionally speaking, a day for lovers, but it has the potential to be more. On Saturday, Bronies for Good’s seventh charity album, A Change of Heart, was released. The project was the result of months of work from talented musicians artists and organizers, and the release party raised over a thousand dollars in just a few hours!
The release party was just the beginning. It’s an ongoing fundraising effort. When you donate, you can download A Change of Heart, and all of Bronies for Good’s previous albums! Donate here, and you’ll be able to download this album, (and all past albums as well). Continue reading
I never thought it possible to make electro house sound so chill, but Plexitofer does just that in this remix of Ponytronic’s Near Clear Skies (appropriate vibe for the song title, eh?). Nice clean drums and a great lead sound are what stand out in particular from this track for me.
A new YouTube release of a track displaying much Amity, it is now time for Morgsch’s Remix of the iconic Start Again to grace YouTube servers with its presence. Keeping the soft, chill mood from the original with a prominent sax that lulls the soul, the remix plays out an enjoyable and steady House beat and reawakens the original melodies with much grace and emotion, while showcasing the original vocals in a beautiful way. The sax solo is the icing on the cake, and provides untold soothing power.
Another of the amazing Empire Past remixes made out of Amity, this one from UndreamedPanic displays much inspiration and reaches out to something different, and that’s when some of the best magic happens! Full of inventive ideas, the piece is unleashing a unique groove and giving callbacks to the original track at the same time! A perfect and impressive remix!

If you want some happy sounding music, these are definitely worth checking out! First up is a new track from Kadenza in their classic melodic house style, this time teaming up with fellow musician Zero. With catchy melodies and some strong mixing this sounds both professional and highly enjoyable.
The second track is pretty interesting in that it’s a remix of multiple pieces, with EnsionD supplementing an instrumental remix of LutariFan’s Advent by including the vocals of Flittzy’s track Someday. It’s definitely not something I’d have thought of, but it works surprisingly well!
