Sonic Hooves makes some of the loveliest Orchestral pieces with always such great ideas and inspirations, and this time it’s a gorgeous piano tribute to our beloved Princess of the Night and her creation! Partake in beautiful melodies, as the comfort of the Night takes you in her embrace…
Misc
[ASOS] Zero Chaotic – Despair (feat. Butterflight & Project Mo)))rd) | Ambient
Zero Chaotic, Butterflight and Project Mo)))rd have the open slot on the new A State of Sugar, and their track starts it off amazingly by beginning with a lovely atmosphere provided by some really nice pads. The solo strings help build this wonderful emotional section and the subtle drums wrap it all together wonderfully. I really like the rain sounds present throughout as it helps maintain the feelings through the song.

Synthis – Dance the Night Away | Electro Pop
Synthis is back with a great reminder that sometimes you just need to have some fun! Listening to this track, you just feel like you are in a great club moving in rhythm and dancing your cares away. This song has a great beat with a bright synth which sets the tone for Synthis’ excellent vocals to carry you out of all your troubles!
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?

Przewalski’s Ponies – Lunar Song ii | Alt. Rock
NB: This was originally posted on Equestria Daily on 17 November 2017.
Russian-based band Przewalski’s Ponies have another new collaborative work out, and it’s pretty epic! A pop-y rock track that features some epic guitar solo work and some solid vocals throughout, it’s a fun piece for sure. Songs about Luna are always great to see, and this is definitely one of the cooler ones in recent times.
Radiarc – Still | Orchestral
Quite a somber, yet lovely composition by Radiarc is now out for everypony to listen to, and my, is it wonderful! The blend among the strings, harp, and piano is well done, as well as the exposed flute from time to time in the song. This is another peaceful work here, and it is perfect for falling asleep to. You did a wonderful job, Radiarc!
[P@D] MrMehster – Stand Back (feat. N. Hollow) | Funk / Glitch-Hop
An amazing collaboration between the producer MrMehster and the rapper N.Hollow for the amazing compilation album P@D: Anthology!
The bass and the funky vibes are on it! MrMehster knows how to create a good track and N.Hollow’s flow, rap and lyrics are really on point, I love every piece of it! The drops are really on point with the awesome vocal shout done by N.Hollow and the references are in every single part of the lyrics! I really love it!
People… download already Anthology, okay? It’s on bandcamp for you, just do it, don’t let your dreams be dreams! See what you made me do? I needed to use old memes for convince you to download it! Ah! If you are rich buy it!
TempestShadow – Tribute to Snowdrop | Orchestral
It was only a matter of time before someone named themselves after a movie character, so here’s an original piece from newcomer TempestShadow dedicated to the beloved fanon character Snowdrop. Slow-moving, sweeping string chords are led by a solo flute and choral vocals which interchange and carry the melody throughout the song.
Rarity Advocate – Princess Luna Suite | Orchestral Electronic
NB: This was originally posted on Equestria Daily on 9 November 2017.
After the epic symphony that was Rarity Advocate’s last release, they’re back with a slightly less ambitious but no less awesome piece with Luna as the centrepiece. Some subtle electronic vibes quickly make way for some soaring strings and occasional pulsing bass vibes, and overall this has quite a sombre tone to it, before it gets more uplifting towards the end, perhaps signalling a redemption.
MC-Arch – I Am Alive (Music Video) | Rap / Hip-Hop
We had this song featured as part of Arch’s mixtape of the same name back in July, but while he was out at Nightmare Nights this October, he shot a music video for this song with the help of EJP3films and Step 2 Harmony! Music videos aren’t common at all in the fandom music scene, especially not live action ones, so this is really exciting to see! I could definitely get used to more things like this.
