We can always count on pony band Worst Princess to tackle on the most Punk Rock-ish themes in the whole community, and with the perfect musical enactment! May you be able to relate to the bittersweet meanings behind the song or not, you’ll enjoy the perfect guitar play and gritty sound for the genre, and the heartfelt vocals of Best Intentions!
Original
Vylet Pony – Heckers (feat. GalaxySquid & Namii) | Synthpop / Indie Pop
Another lovely collab from Vylet, Heckers is especially cute, being Vylet’s own heartfelt song about the bonds he’s made over the years in this community. Featuring GalaxySquid and Namii, it brings fluffy vocals over a slick yet mellow Synthpop instrumental, with always that Indie flare that Vylet’s vocal tracks are now known for! Treasure your friendships, everypony! And max out your Social Links if you can! (now I wonder who will get that reference…)
Whirly Tail – Thinking Out Loud | Trance
There’s no limits to what you can do if you’re passionate, and this song by Whirly Tail is a stunning token of passion and dedication. This Trance beauty was actually produced on a smartphone! There is always a way to create what you want, and express your feelings. Thinking Out Loud is not only an impressive and beautiful experience of sound, it is also a heartfelt tribute to the one who inspired Whirly Tail so much with her wisdom, kindness and devotion: Violin Melody, the very lovely founder of A State of Sugar herself! Such sentiments are always so wonderful to see in this community… Friendship is Magic!
Horse Music Hotspot – January 2018
New year, new selections for the hotspot, and this month rocked! A great deal of fantastic rock and acoustic tunes feature this month and even an acapella piece too.

Tracklist and embeds available after the break
One Track Mind – This Chord | Drumstep
One Track Mind can’t be stopped, and this time the visionary musician made a melodic progressive Drumstep banger about the S6 finale and more particularly Discord’s feelings toward his beloved friend Fluttershy! Unleashing all the draconequus’ wrath in musical format at the perfect time after his words, sampled directly from the show, This Chord is providing a blissful heavy experience of sound. Melodies, chiptune sounds, and wubs, all composed wonderfully, express the track’s concept in pure One Track Mind style and talent. One More!
Totalspark – Quod Paenitentia | Classical
It always feels so great when you’re obsessed with ponies enough to attribute them to the other things in your life and your everyday! Everything is better with ponies indeed, and today Totalspark presents us a new work born from his training as a Classical vocalist, interpreted with Luna’s character! Latin vocals from the musician are chanting the song like a prayer, completing a beautiful Classical instrumental…
Soli Luna gloria.
Riovelk – Running of the Leaves | Eurobeat
Riovelk is back with a new lovely Eurobeat pony tune, this time inspired by the eponymous race from S01E13 Fall Weather Friends! I still remember fondly the happy and heart-warming ending of that episode. Riovelk’s track reflects the high-speed and uplifting mood of the competition between the mares, with wonderful vocals , and Eurobeat being a very fitting genre! Reminds me of that certain scene in Initial D…
Sprocket – Rhythm of the Forest | Progressive Rock / Synthwave
Themed around the many sides of the Everfree Forest (more details in the description of the Bandcamp upload), Rhythm of the Forest is a surprising and inventive blend of many electronic and rock influences. We notably find Progressive Rock and Synthwave in the mix, with notes of Psychedelic Rock and the early electronic musicians’ sound. A blooming experiment shining in the dark like Poison Joke in the Everfree Forest, this gem of a track is expressing the many wonders of the forest in delightful musical ways.
Damien Nagy – Ma Vie Est Vôtre (My Life Is Yours) | Soundtrack
Another song part of the original soundtrack of the MP3 saga Erebys, Ma Vie Est Vôtre is a particularly emotional Insert Song, featuring Damien’s incredible and heartfelt vocals. It is bringing the character’s feelings to life, and it’s such an important part of a story!
Sonic Hooves, Lunar Wolf & Kopyce – Danger Drift | Trance
Aptly named for a Rainbow Dash track, Danger Drift flies through the Trance beats and melodies while reflecting the uplifting feeling of speed and flying in the sky! This lovely collab is not only paying tribute to Rainbow Dash but also to the power of Trance music, with heavenly breaks taking you into another realm of musical bliss!
