After 1 year of inactivity on Mathematic’s channel, she returns with this amazing electropop tune! Her vocals are really amazing and the piano chords remind me of Vocal Jazz tracks and the drum work makes the typical Alternative R&B beat makes even better. This song reminds me of artists such as Alessia Cara, Troye Sivan and Frank Ocean that makes incredible R&B with electropop feels. The song is really catchy and the lyrics are really meaningful. Talking about friendship and support, Mathematic does a really emotional and awesome speech to the pony fandom in the description of the video and even said that daspacepony help her to come back to the pony music! Mathematic, I missed your songs. Welcome back and hope you stay with us!

Tracklist and embeds available after the break
CrystalData – Perfect Little Princess | Orchestral
Something nice and relaxing to end the night with. I can’t analyse it properly, but I always seem to enjoy the gentle, flowing sounds of some of CrystalData’s songs. A little bit of minimalism works really well from time to time.
Sprocket – A Dark Sublime (ft. Sax Brony & W.H. Auden) | Electronic / Jazz
And with this, Sprocket’s Princess Variations collection is complete: a series of songs revolving around a theme and based around a recurrent chord sequence. This jazzy piece even features the legendary Sax Brony with his own solo. In case you haven’t heard any of the other parts, go take a listen to the whole thing!
Sable Symphony – Monday Blues (cover) | Pop-Rock
I’ve not actually seen any of the EQG Summertime Shorts, but I don’t imagine this counts as any kind of spoiler ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ The poppy original version of this songs transfers really well into a guitar-based song though, and Sable’s voice really packs a punch in the choruses!
Soren Ember – Dust (feat. Protocat) | Soft Rock / Piano Rock
The pony rock / metal songs promotion channel, Rock Farm, releases their first exclusive! A really soft and chill rock track performed by Soren Ember with a piano arrangement done by Protocat!
This collaboration is one of that unexpected and still amazing unions! Because we know Soren Ember (formally OBSCURA) by his amazing classic & soft rock tracks that remind us of the good old days and Protocat is known for his amazing chill Drum N Bass and amazing vocal chops! And oh boy, this collaboration worked! I really loved the piano performance, it was really amazing! Soren’s vocals are really cool and I love his vocals, I really appreciate the classic rock approach on the vocals that Soren uses for take us in a time travel, this time Soren brought me to the 90’s UK, where the Piano Alternative Rock was the main genre aka Britpop where bands such The Verve, Oasis, Blur, Suede, Pulp and Maniac Street Preacher were the most popular! The acoustic guitar riffs performed by Soren are also amazing, the guitar is one of the most important elements in a Soren Ember track, and I really appreciate this guitar riffs! The thing I really loved on this song is how all parts flow together and create a beautiful and amazing harmony! A piece that Rock Farm probably is proud on having on their channel! The song that talks about Lighting Dust’s feeling feelings toward Rainbow Dash following the events of S03E07 “Wonderbolts Academy“. I also loved that pleasuring solo at the middle of the song! Also the visuals, Makenshi is really good at this videos!
Zephysonas – Not even the rain | Orchestral
I wish I knew how to label this more specifically than just “orchestral” because this piece is very different to a lot of the big, epic orchestral pieces I often see. It’s short, but super sweet and cute keyboard/piano-driven piece, and it’s one of those songs created in a sudden burst of inspiration – something which often leads to a surprisingly amazing finished product.
PrinceWhateverer – Constellations (Redux feat. Cadie) | Melodic Metalcore / Trancecore
PrinceWhateverer returns with a redux of one of his best songs – Constellations! The King of Brony Melodic Metalcore invited one of my favorite female singers of the moment Cadie for making the beautiful vocals in the breakdown! And her vocals are really sweet and chilling!
Talking about vocals, Prince’s vocals are also pretty good! I really loved his vocal songs, it reminds me of that Melodic Metalcore acts that only have clean vocals aka Scene Punk. The instrumental is the same as the previous song but has a better mastering and mixing! And one thing I love in the instrumental along with the trancecore classical electronic elements, the guitar riffs are really well done. The breakdown is one of the highest points in the instrumental, not just because of the progression to the synths, but because of the drumming! Also the robotic vocals used in some parts are also really awesome, Prince really wanted to do a Trancecore tune! This one rocks! \m/
Horse Music Hotspot – July 2017 (very late upload edition)

Tracklist and embeds available after the break
Jyc Row – Nightmare Moon, the Lunar Queen | Orchestral
Jyc Row has composed a beautiful piece about Nightmare Moon. Epic, foreboding, and powerful, it encapsulates her personality perfectly. It is at once dark, strong, and unstoppable. What a song to listen to as Luna’s moon eclipses Celstia’s sun!
