Our monthly radio show took place on PonyvilleFM last night. If you weren’t able to listen in live, you can now play it back on YouTube, on SoundCloud, or using your favourite podcast app.

We have a whole mixture of things for you this month – not much rock music this time, but plenty of “misc” genres such as hip-hop, jazz, and acoustic. Every month brings something new!

To listen in live, tune in to Ponyville FM at 10PM Eastern on the last Sunday of each month!

Embeds and tracklist both available after the break.

Radiarc – The End | Dark Orchestral / Electronic

That’s okay man, it’s not like I wanted to sleep tonight anyway. I wouldn’t have thought of this necessarily as a remix, but still, it makes full use of the vocals from Smile Smile Smile, and then plenty of other Pinkie vocal samples. If you liked this, then be sure to check out Radi’s new album, Mistaken, containing 14 tracks like this, inspired by games such as Silent Hill and Dead Space.

Projekt Equestria ft. Bejeden – Manewry w Equestrii | Rap / Hip-Hop

It’s not often we get get sent ponifications of other songs…and I don’t think we’ve ever had anything in Polish before, so consider this an extremely rare occasion! And if you’d like a rough translation of the lyrics, click here for one, courtesy of Violin Melody.

ForeverFreest – Spooky Kooky Cookie Zombies | Electronic / Wut

And now for something completely different. While most are making slightly more srs hors music, Freest seems to have been off doing his own thing…which involves British accents and a hint of madness. And in terms of the production itself, the drum groove in this is fantastic!

OrchestralDesign – Exploring the Castle | Orchestral

If you ever wanted some orchestral incidental music, OrchestralDesign has got you covered. This short piece varies and changes throughout the song giving some distinctively different vibes, from happy to epic, and back to happy again, all seamlessly!

SlightlyAmiss – Just Passing Time | Folk

Talented singer and guitarist SlightlyAmiss graces us with utterly beautiful vocals once again, with a deep song paying tribute to Lyra and some headcanons about her from the community. Delighting with meaningful lyrics and tear-jerking soft guitar play, the song will take you to an amazing journey of sound as you stargaze with Lyra.

MintFritter – Through The Space | Electro-Pop

Enter MintFritter, a pony musician that went under my radar for a while, but who is definitely very promising! Through The Space is a very cute song that delightfully shows the great potential from the artist, as cuddly instrumental and vocals unfold to pay tribute to Derpy and Dr Whooves in the most mellow ways. Don’t forget to sub to the MintFritter to show your support!

A Symphony Of Two – Morning Dew | Orchestral

Spiritually echoing OST tracks such as Dewdrops in the Morning Wind, this new release from Orchestral duo A Symphony Of Two brings all the beauty of Nature in the morning, as the piano melodies wake you with serenity and wonder, and the strings create wonderful emotion. Served with very fitting art from the amazing aJVL as accompaniment!

Vylet Pony – Super Pony World | Guest Album Review | Electronic

Better late than never, eh? NB: A small part of this review was also written by Spectra.

Hey kiddos, it’s Reverie, and while I’m busy being sad and hating myself that I haven’t been working on the Top Ten listings that much due to school and graduation and all that, I’ve written a comprehensive review, going track by track through ALL of the new Vylet release, entitled Super Pony World. Since we don’t want to exclude some of the deluxe version material, this is going to cover all of the base tracks plus a couple of the original pieces from the deluxe version. So, let’s hop right into it after the break!
